...No, I don't.I prefer rich warm scents for autumn/winter time and rather fresh light scents for spring and summer.

...My next buy will be "Brilliant Wish" Chopard for my mom. I'm quite sure that she'll enjoy the scent. If not, I'm keeping it for myself. :D

..."L'Instant de Guerlain", wonderful rich scent, perfect for today's icy weather.

...I speak and write fluently German (and Swiss-German as my mother tongue, I'm Swiss :wink: ), French and almost fluently Italian. I try to improve my knowledge of English, spoken and written. I read quite a lot of books in English (also because the German translations need too much time) and I speak (or try to :wink: ) English during my holidays in the USA. The Americans are nice and patient people, so I'm not too ashamed to try out my speaking skills :wink: .

..."Baiser de Cinema" YSL

..."Aqua Universalis Forte" by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a long (and quite pricy) guest on my wishlist. I decided recently to buy it in spring, as gift for myself for my new job. :wink:

...Hi Guusje!I really love perfumes which remind me of beach, sun and sea. But I generally can't stand acquatic perfumes, sorry. :wink: For me, "Bois Naufragé" by Parfumerie Générale is one of the most beautiful perfumes, reminding me of lazy days passed by the sea, sunbathing or fishing in the hot sun of Florida. Just feeling great. :wink:I ordered some days ago a sample of "Sel Marin" by Heeley. I'm really looking forward testing this perfume. Perhaps it's worth a try for you.
