Why is it so hard tofind?[/quote]That is my favourite perfume too - and I have a terrible problemfinding it. I looked everywhere in the UK without success buteventually managed to buy a large bottle (heavily discounted too!!)when on holiday in Gibralter last summer. Not that that is agreat help to you - but it was just nice to hear of someone else wholiked it - most people have never heard of it!

Apero Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hastobe, not your real name? i would recognize you also, it has an instantly recognizable aroma which makes me smile. My wife sprays some on my shirts when I go away on business. I have bought some today at Sephora on the Champs Elysees for her. I have also found it in La Rochelle if you are closeby.Sweet dreams off now; home tomorrow. Barry; exactement ma femme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I hope Chris PPs' missus is reading this about all you lovely men buying expensive perfume for your wives. He has sent her in the fields with a fork and doesnt buy her flowers. I bet she has a bottle of tweed for christmas and a pair of wellies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hastobe Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 No my real name is Kathie - and Casmir is a very distinctive perfume. It's the only perfume I've had that I've liked so much that I've kept buying it!KKK - Chris PP sounds like my other half - first year we moved into our current house with an acre of ahermmm...field - he bought me a pair of green wellies and a spade for Christmas...and then couldn't understand when I wasn't overjoyed And when I complained once that he never bought me flowers he bought me a box of dried ones - and said that should last me for the next twenty years :S. This year I got (for birthday and christmas - birthday is 3 days before Christmas) ........... a Roberts French dictionary. Now don't get me wrong, I love the dictionary, but friends kept asking - so what was your 'real' present?Afraid I have to buy my own perfume :o(Hastobe (aka Kathie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas.........soon.....very soon. bonne nuit[/quote] A perfume with the scent from the flowers of the fields of France....sounds very nice. I will have to put my thinking cap on to see what comes to mind. Sisley make an amazing chypre scent called Eau de Campagne which is a very 'green' smelling scent and smells of the French countryside. It uses tomato leaves as one of the notes. I am quite addicted to their showergel in that fragrance. For lovers of the smell of the Linden Blossom that pervades many French towns, Parfums d'Orsay makes a lovely scent called Tilleul.

Barry Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 Phew, looks like you have expensive tastes in perfume hastobe. A true classic perfume and it appears to be only available in parfum strength and nothing less. http://scentdirect.com/scent.php?scentID=193 You might be as well checking out ebay to see if you can find anything cheaper.

I would love my wife to have a personal scent, which was akin to Casmir by Chopard. I truly miss her and doing this little sentiment for her would show her how much I care for her. If you prefer to pm me respond and I will send my e-mail address.This is not the place to be alone, non.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixietoadstool Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 My favourite perfume is Wrappings - now discontinued by Clinique but can be bought from the USA. It is a very unusual perfume and I wonder if Barry could tell me what are the main ingredients - there is one unusual note - a bit like pine but something else? Is this a synthetic perfume or made with real essential oils?I expect some of you have read the novel Perfume - a bit of a classic which I found completely unnerving!Valerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
