It looks like the color of a rare pearl that Harry Winston might have discovered. :)<br /><br />CG, I think you're right. Something was wrong with that Coco Noir sample. You mean you didn't keep a Sky Line for yourself? Yikes! Maybe there's still time to call Georgia. It truly is a special color.Rosemarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-86202303523274956682012-09-22T23:52:33.290-04:002012-09-22T23:52:33.290-04:00Hi and happy belated birthday, CG!

LA is already too barren. That science center had better plant big trees, not saplings that will take 20 years to grow.Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-48999766188661387442012-09-22T17:50:48.359-04:002012-09-22T17:50:48.359-04:00Thank you, Lov2read, I get around fine.

I guess Chanel wants to keep our Black Friday money for itself.<br /><br />You are so sweet, thank you!<br /><br />BTW, the Coco Noir story is odd. On first spray, Coco Noir is VERY nice. It remains so until dry-down, in my opinion. However, others who like woody fragrances love it through a full wear. Your sample sounds bad.Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-49654021246508795922012-09-22T17:46:30.479-04:002012-09-22T17:46:30.479-04:00Thanks JEM!

I'll put it away when I turn to the deeper, smokier shades of autumn, and then take it out again come winter.
