I’m intrigued by the Miller Harris line, but I haven’t tried any of them yet. There are a few available at Sephora, but sadly, not in my store yet, I’d love to try Geranium Bourbon or Fleur du Matin. And the bottles are gorgeous! I’d love to see more Miller Harris reviews or hear from anyone who has tried them.
Fleur du Matin is one of my favorites, although I’ve never bought it. The packaging really is gorgeous — even in person, which isn’t always the case of course.
Kate Moss was totally awesome when sampled, but after purchasing a set of the fragrance w/lotion I was totally disappointed. For me Kate Moss has a very short aroma life. The fragrance only lingered for an hour.
Oh, that’s a shame! She did a “luxury edition” that was supposed to be stronger, but don’t know if it’s still sold:

I went to the store to try Kate Moss, but I wasnt very impressed. I was hoping for something intriguing and stylish (my image of Kate Moss), and it smelled like many other perfumes do. Why arent they imaginative anymore ??? 🙁
It’s too expensive and risky to be imaginative.
