Havana Vanille! Havana Vanille!!!
Took long enough to get here, didn’t it?
Yeah, well it ain’t here yet!!
In fact I just talked to the fine folks at luckyscent to see when they might be shipping my long awaited bottle and this is what they told me:
Enough was made for Europe and the US, but it sold so well in Europe that they sold ALL of it. And now the batch to be sold here is still in France in production….both Luckyscent and Aedes won’t have it until probably LATE November….but they say they’ll post an update on the website if that changes. Free ship code at LS is Oct
Oh drat…missed that it was pre-order on Aedes. It says shipping next week though…maybe they’re being hopeful.
Bendel’s didn’t have it as of Sunday, and it was like pulling teeth to get the snippy woman to begrudgingly give me a sniff from her little bottle hidden behind the counter.
Argh! Why are SAs like that on such power trips? Is it their job to sell and generate interest in perfume or NOT? Would be funny if it weren’t so sadly ridiculous.
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
Luckyscent has HV too (and samples available upon request).
(And yes, my sample will be requested as soon as I get home to my cart o’samples waiting to be ordered.)
Thanks, I didn’t see it there this morning!
It is listed on the L’Artisan page but as I noted above–it’s still a few weeks away from us poor blokes here in the states.
I should have mentioned it yesterday…I was Googling Sunday night, for the millionth time, trying to find somewhere to get a sample, and it popped up as for sale at LS. It took until last night for the text “samples avail upon request” to show up…and unless something has changed since then, there is nowhere to actually order one…you have to contact them.
UH OH.
Borneo was rotated into the export line. S**t.
Maybe that means it’ll be on ebay for a more reasonable price.
If you look around, almost everything has been rotated into the export line EXCEPT IRIS SILVER MIST. Different stores just get different LE exports. But NO IRIS SILVER MIST. What is with that?!?
Really? That “sucks” to put it bluntly. I didn’t think Borneo had ever been sold here before now. How about Sarrasins? I am kind of glad I haven’t tried ISM.
Borneo is new to export, and Sarrasins hasn’t been in export yet either…but almost all the other older scents have!
Rose The One is now on Macys’ website!
Thanks!
