      Hey, Hermes has a really nice coffret of minis out right now:

      http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hermes-miniatures-set/3931111?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=200&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_1_A

      PLUS, better…they’re doing “compose your own” quartets of their regular fragrances in 15 ml, just as they’ve always done with the Hermessences (that will be in one of the upcoming gift guides).

      Someone (less lazy than me) should buy a few Zegna sets and sell the individual bottles on e bay. As far as I know they usually only come in 100ml and cost over $200 each. I like the Javanese Patchouli so that would be one way of getting it. Except for the lazy thing!

      I think that’s the only one that was canceled and never came back…seems like all the rest were reissued at least once (?)

    I’m a little disappointed there are no boxes of leaves! More perfume companies need to offer that.

      LOL…I am going to try to find you another box of leaves.

        I’m also partial to sacks full of twigs :)

        But they have to cost over $50 or I don’t see the point!

          I really thought I could find you another expensive box of twigs or leaves but having trouble…Jardin d’Ecrivains may have cornered this market.

          Yeah, mood-altering properties would certainly make the gift less innovative!

          Yes, JdE must be very forward thinking :)

        It must be a cardboard box of leaves and the leaves can’t have strong mood-altering properties.

          … otherwise, the box of leaves might actually be worth $50, or $72, IIRC :-)

      Bwah! If no leaves or twigs can be had, what about a $72 box of pebbles? Or some nice bark mulch?

    I haven’t tried Tuscan Leather..the idea of a raspberried leather doesn’t appeal to me.
