I am so sorry! What a tragic story. I thin...OH NO!<br /><br />I am so sorry! What a tragic story. I think a really hot walk is a great test of a perfume, although one must know it well beforehand, I think, since the sick-making aspects of almost any scent are brought out by hot weather. <br /><br />Glad you were able to return to the lovely Nahéma.<br /><br />Thank you for the comment!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603966447481475904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674105335390337863.post-35261980448813476052010-06-14T10:10:30.679-04:002010-06-14T10:10:30.679-04:00Sarah,
Nahema should have been my first Guerlain, ...Sarah,<br />Nahema should have been my first Guerlain, and indeed was for a brief 20min. You see, I first read about it in a magazine article about rose perfumes in the mid-'90s. When I had a chance to visit Saks in NYC, I went to the Guerlain boutique to enquire about the scent, got a spritz, and promptly fell in-love with the incredible head-on blast of roses. I purchased the pdt and walked out of the store. It was a particularly warm spring day and I kept smelling my wrist until about 15 minutes, when the top notes faded and then came this plasticky tropical lotion smell. You can imagine my dismay as I trudged my purchase back to Saks for a refund. A year later, Chamade became my first "official" Guerlain and my favorite for the next 5 years.<br />That was from my pre-perfumista days and nowadays, I have since re-purchased a bottle of the pdt, and appreciate the beauty of Nahema and enjoy it at every wearing.<br />So glad you love it as well.OperaFannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674105335390337863.post-76772078636639987482010-06-13T20:27:25.508-04:002010-06-13T20:27:25.508-04:00Sorry about Nahéma for you!

And I love the picture you chose on the top, the rose petals swirling around them all, so fitting for your post. :)<br /><br />I am loving roses and violets , iris, linden and mimosa scents. So light but yet I crave something along those lines and I'm having a ball trying to find the perfect ones for summer.<br /><br />Take care<3<3Tamaranoreply@blogger.com
