But is sounds intriguing, going to seek it out.<br /><br />Mrs. B. - I am not familiar with the OB scent, ditto there. Grapefruit... umm, probably a good call. Makes me think of breakfasts I did not want to eat on cold school mornings. Fracas! Wish I had thought of it, perfect.<br /><br />Countess - Drakkar, That made me laugh. I really wish it never got that bag or became a fragrance that the wearer never used one drop of, only a gallon, because I kind of liked it. <br /><br />Rose Poivree, Marsha, what is that? Obviously, if it is malinged, I should own it and defend it. Will find it.<br /><br />AGD - I had to look that up, here was the part I most enjoyed, "As a marketing ploy, in the early days each bottle of Hai Karate came with a small self-defense instruction booklet, to help wearers defend themselves against women."

I wear Malone's Orange Blossom and adore it. My friend tried to get me to buy the Grapefruit, but I knew OB and I were meant to be together. Aqua di Parma came right before. Fracas in the winter when we are going out and it is going to be late. <br /><br />And my mother wore Youth Dew as far back as I can remember. She'd buy other scents and the would languish on the counter waiting to go out.Mrs. Blandingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402207636108999627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876281636657645444.post-12678828615274020942009-06-16T08:13:58.547-04:002009-06-16T08:13:58.547-04:00LOVE the post!

I am a Florida girl, and I have to tell you that besides the light citrus scents I like to wear, a new favorite is Bobbi Brown's Beach. Her entire Beach line reminds me of my childhood playing for endless hours at the beach, and coming home with the smell of salt water and sunscreen in my hair. I only wear it in the summer on balmy nights, but it always takes me back :)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509184020355699800noreply@blogger.com
