Happy holidays

Posted by Robin on 23 December 2005 22 Comments

Christmas stampsI meant to post a holiday message this morning, but as usual I was running late. I am just back from a nice lunch with a perfume friend, followed by a few last minute holiday errands. I am wearing the Jo Malone Pine & Eucalyptus room spray layered with some i Profumi di Firenze Arancia Dolce concentrata that a kind reader sent me. It is a great holiday fragrance combination.

Wishing everyone a very happy and safe holiday weekend! Tonight I will be wrapping presents, tomorrow night we will be tracking Santa's progress at Norad. I will be back Monday afternoon with a post about the best selling fragrances of 2005.

    Thanks, R, and thanks too for your wonderful blog. Hope you have a relaxing (ha!) Christmas, and a chance to savour your son's excitement as he opens his presents. (Mine are 18 and 20, and barely aware of Christmas any more, alas…) 'See' you Monday! N

    Ooh, Arancia Dolce. I know you must smell wonderful. I hope IdPF releases it in the states soon, because I would love to try it…I think I will love it. 🙂

    Merry Christmas, darling!

    Hugs!

    Merry Christmas, Robin! Thanks for making such a wonderful Fragrance Blog, I am so happy I came upon it while googling Rance's Josephine this year!

    (thanks also for the tracking Santa link…I have been tracking him for an hour now!)

    My son is 7 and still believes, so yes, it will be great fun! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas with your family, N — can't imagine what 18 & 20 year olds want for Christmas!

    Thank you M! I am amazed at how many releases have already been listed for 2006…doesn't look like the fragrance companies have any plans to slow down.

    R, I hope so too…it is a very long lasting candied orange, very pretty & a great layering scent. Have a great Christmas, R!

    Happy Holidays to you! Can't wait for the post next week! But I fear the bestselling will be depressing, though I have hope.

    P, no, not depressing — they will be listed by store. You won't be confronted with what is best selling in all the land, so to speak 😉
