Ayala Moriel has launched Roses et Chocolat, a limited edition fragrance for Valentine's Day:
ROSES et CHOCOLAT is a bouquet of plush, velvety dark red roses (yet unlike most stem-cut roses, possessing a voluptuous scent); set against a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate truffles. The perfume part is what ties everything together, yet without taking away from either experience: my handcrafted, complex amber accord, made of rich resins and balsams, and a sparkling dusting of sexy spices: the fruitiness of pink peppercorns and the sublime aphrodisiac dry warmth of nutmeg and mace, creating an overall impression of a full-bodied red wine.

Not commenting on the perfumes but just wanted to say that the words 'Limited Edition' for me, have almost come to lose their meaning, like sometimes when you repeat a word over and over again and it suddenly sounds foreign!
LOL — so true, and the vast majority of them, in fact, hang around on the market for considerably longer than you expect anyway.
I was sincerely impressed a couple of years back by Lacoste's “pour Femme”; Its subtle, creamy notes interpreted the scent of skin with a touch of salty zest. I feel I have underestimated the designer fragrance when inspired newbies like “pour femme” are born. “Inspiration” was pretty, if not very memorable–closer to what has commonly been released by many houses as of late. I wonder how “Touch of Spring” will work out for me.
Lacoste Pour Femme is a very wearable scent. I keep meaning to try Touch of Pink but never do. Completely agree about Inspiration: it just doesn't have enough personality to stand out in the crowd.
Well, the “problem” with “pour femme” is that, from my point of view, it doesn't really represents the brand.. Lacoste should be “sport chic” but on this fragrance, it just mean to my nose (or even to my eyes, because of the packaging, ..) that it is just chic
I suppose it isn't a particularly sporty scent, but so few brands bother to match the juice to the brand that I didn't even think about it
