I’d love the Aedes de Venustas Iris Nazarena travel spray!
Gosh so would I — they did a great job on the packaging.
I just wanted to let you know that the Aerin Coffret is available at Sak’s in the US.
I would love the Ellie D scents.
Thanks!
I would love those too…and wish she’d do a new fragrance.
The purse spray and Aerin coffret are so going onto my wish list!
Good, hope you’ll get one or the other or both!
Purse spray looks fab, really fab! That Aerin coffret gets my attention as well. I need to try both lines! I love purse sprays with refills, your fave scent on-the-go. I just love the Kilian one, has a magnetic type closure I think on the cap..I just love the silver case as well.
So far, do not love the Aerin line, but they’re nicely done & it would make a good present. But I’ll take the Aedes myself 😉
Well, at least the Macy’s set is fairly priced! (Just about only nice thing I can say about it, though. . . hope Santa doesn’t think I need one!)
I am hoping Santa knows to give that to some young pop music fan, and to just give me the Aedes travel spray. Although I’d also take the Ellie D.
I have travel spray envy with the Aedes one. I thought it only came in the original perfume but given that it is also available in Iris Nazarena, I will bump it up on my Wish List.
The Olfactive Studio Discovery Set is also available at LuckyScent (as of last week). I am getting that from Santa this year 😉
Nice selection!
I think we all have travel spray envy.
Congrats on your discovery set, that will be fun!
Thanks for mentioning Etiket in Montreal – they are now my local niche shop and I want them to do well. The Olfactive Studio kit looks fab!
Oh, lucky you! And hope they will.
