      No, I think they have a few others! And they’re all different designs. I just thought that one was pretty.

      Me too. I wish Eau de Cologne Ambrée, which is on sale in every Monoprix in France, was available in the UK: it’s so nice and cheap.

      I like them too, and I smelled this one once in Takashimaya, it was nice.

      Interesting! Her scent choices seem not too bad – great to see this generate support for niche firms. And I had never heard that Michelle Obama wore Boadicea scents.
