“Jean Nate”, boy does that take me back. That’s a wonderful, refreshing scent, just made for layering, and it beats by a long shot any of the “sugar water” scents now en vogue. You wouldn’t believe the prices perfumes like Jean Nate, even the original Love’s Baby Soft scents (as opposed to a recent reformulation) bring! And the Houbigant “Ambergris” and “Civet”. Real civet has been on the banned list even before the EU regulations, and now even ambergris (which is only “cured” whale vomit, from their eating cuttlefish, is limited. That one makes no sense at all, as no whales are harmed in gathering it, it’s just whale vomit which washes up or gathered at sea, allowed to “cure”. That’s one reason why I think that the huge synthetic molecule firms have something to do with this, the perfumers are forced to use the synthetic molecule substitute instead of the organic material.
You are really the perfume guru! Now, if I could only find a bottle of Sortilege...that is what I hooked my man with...65 years ago!
And did I tell you? I hate the EU! It should be annihilated.
