    Rose Red

    A followup review after aging 2 years (Rose Red 2008) - i had some trepidations on how this would age as prev reviewers thought if it contained authentic rose oil it would age beautifully, if synthetic then it might not. But in my experience aging it has brought forth another layer to it. True the top note smell of rose does not last as long as when absolutely fresh but after an hour or so the rose starts wafting in and out and a more haunting green sweetness (but not too sweet) comes and goes with it - i cannot begin to tell you what this note is but it maybe similar to boronia, a fruity floral - somewhat raspberryish w/rose or violet nuances. The next day the smell in my cuffs and collar was just to die for. This is my fave scent to wear when working outside on a cold, crisp December day. So inspiring to everything you do really. A true winner in my opinion.

    Black Lace

    Ooooh voluptuous & elegant. Conjures up the most exclusive, expensive Parisian brothel, with whiffs of Havana cigar tobacco and rare cognac along with the lady's musky perfumes. It denotes the elegance of the ladies' lace and ostrich feather costumes too & i just love it. V long lasting. I'm sooooo happy Beth resurrected this in my lifetime!
