Weird.
Too expensive to get so many all new sentences 🙂
I miss L’ Eau de Missiones. I wish they would bring that back. In an EDP. bath gel and lotion….Sigh.
Sorry!
I skimmed quickly looking for this one! It is so beloved, I wonder why it didn’t get renamed/repackaged/re-priced.
I keep looking for it, but it is gone gone gone, except for some outrageous scalper prices on Ebay.
These all sound lovely. I am a fan of Berdoues and Roger and Gallet so right up my alley. I feel a purchase coming on.
I like the “long lasting” part, I want all of them but from the looks of the beautiful bottles it seems they will be higher price than usual for the brand.
