On the sample wishlist they go……
That was easy!
They sound rather similar to each other, spice+rose. I love the bottles, but it looks like they raised the price to match. I wonder if these will make it to Sephora. I was so excited when Sephora started carrying ELDO, but it looks like they’ve pared down their selection.
Right now they say “exclusive to Selfridges” but sometimes that turns out to be true and sometimes it doesn’t
Those metallic like labels look interesting. Will try if I can.
Those bottles
The notes are extremely interesting and I also wonder if the fancier bottles portend higher price points. Here in NYC they are online-only at Sephora…
These sound really interesting – oh how I wish travel sprays were the norm…. I love the Spice Must Flow name. Have to wonder if 500 Years is another Dune reference.
Despite that very confused/confusing text, I’d like to try 500 Years!
Late to the game here, but frag-heads never forget, we just get distracted…
Both Spice Must Flow & 500 Years are…sadly….nothing to write home about. I forget about them 10 minutes after I’ve applied. Both are spicy roses, with a bit of a cola vibe for the latter, and I was expecting MUCH more, not only for the high price, but this is ELdO we’re talking about! I keep thinking, “they really just phoned these in”. At least you can remove these from your lists. BTW, 500 Years possibly eludes to the house of Tudor, The War of The Roses, which was approx 500 years ago….For the price I was expecting a bit of copy in my box. Nada.
