Love the bottles!
They’re fantastic — I’d love to have the whole set, but really want Assam with those elephants.
Lovely Robin, I am currently in France on extended holiday (yes, again!!!)- I’m back in NY in mid-July. I just ordered 2 bottles of the Assam to be sent to my Nice area address, 1 for me (because I love this type of scent and the bottle is quite nice) and I will happily send the 2nd bottle to you, no charge. Nocibe actually has 25% off, so it works. I already have your address in an email somewhere. Sorry you’ll have to wait so long but at least it’s a fragrant something you have to look forward to! Hugs, Julien.
J, wow, I am speechless. That was incredibly kind, thank you!
Yes – the bottles are amazing! I want them all.
The Assam one with elephants is sooo appealing but I love all of them esp the Arz El-Rab with its wood background. And 63 euros isn’t terrible……. For once I like a mass release
Exactly! I like Sicilia too…
I don’t even LIKE cologne, and I want these for the bottles.
Brazil sounds especially nice.
I never even heard of this company, but these all sound nice and I also like the bottles. So much perfume…too little time and money.
