These sound great! Azahares is in the lead for me, as I’ve adored Mr. Rodrigo’s orange creations! Artisan and Hidden Fantasy, polar opposites really, are top 10 favs of mine! But, no clue if I’ll ever see these. #sad
I know — they do not sound like likely candidates for outside distribution. We will have to go to Mexico! Then we can also smell these:

Omg! I love the bottles! And by Roux as well?! Of course they sound just as lovely! #supersad
Yes, let’s plan a perfume adventure to Mexico!!
Sounds just about right right now.
I’m in, at least in spirit!
