    I am interested to see that Luckyscent now carries Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire. Will they also carry Cartier Les Heures de Parfum? I thought they carried only niche fragrances.

      I was surprised too! But they are in limited distribution so not a bad fit.

        Yes. Robin, what are your favorites in this VC&A Collection?

          The only one I loved was the Iris. Lots of people liked the Gardenia, and I was told the vanilla one (forget name) was the biggest seller.

      Yes YES YEESSS!!
      Pleeeze get the Cartiers so those of us in the far-flung corners of the universe can buy FB’s…
      Actually as one with too much free time and money to spend on perfume it really amazes me how hard it is to get these lines – and I really do believe they are so much more superior to the masstige stuff its tragic. (Have decants of a couple of these, beautiful florals)
      I mean what about Serge and the Paris bell jars; hellooo, I know they are opening up to the US supposedly this year, but gosh, how hard is it to send stuff by international post?? 90% of my perfumes have come to Australia from overseas!

    Robin,
    This is great news indeed! I’m hoping that Lucky Scent might decide to put the full VC&A collection in one of their sample pack offerings, but even if not – I’m so glad they’ve made sampling so very accessible for those of us unable to visit a high-end/niche perfume counter due to time or distance constraints.

      Yes — anything that makes samples easier to get is a good thing!
