    Winter Vixen interests me the most. Hazelnut always interests but me then always scares me so I’ve never tried anything with it as a note. I need to try Mechant Loup.

      I never tried Bolshie Vixen, but Mechant Loup is a great scent.

        I found a review of Bolshie Vixen that didn’t sound very good, that’s why I decided to forget about it and focus on Mechant Loup instead.

      I’m not the only one who got the Gimel a Break reference, right?

        Is it anymore than a Chanukkhah reference?

        The jokes seems a bit flat to me this time round – but its possible I’m not getting all sorts of clever allusions:o

          No, it’s not that clever — just a silly pop culture reference to a cheesy American sitcom called “Give Me (Gimme) a Break” from the 80s. I haven’t seen the show’s star, Nell Carter (the happy woman atop the dreidel), referenced in a long time.

            It does make it clever-er than it originally appeared:)
