Oh what a find this was .<br />The Chantilly is quite sweet with Heliotrope I think , some carnation and a good bit of vetiver , which I actually like here . This is an old vintage bottle , the contents were under pressure . <br />I'd be happy to send you some fun samples , just e-mail me your adress !waftbyCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14784265823926668236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017703341820431004.post-78341031165154237552010-08-22T17:30:34.355-04:002010-08-22T17:30:34.355-04:00Late to the party as always! You know what I'...Late to the party as always! You know what I'm particularly curious about? The Chantilly, because it was the first perfume I smelled at someone elses house as a kid, so very different from what my Mom wore! It was in such an opulent old fashioned bottle (we were Modernists at home) and it smelled so much like "Perfume" to me...........it was cheap and easy to find, so I had it in several forms and used it happily, smelling much older than my 12 years for a time. What does it smell like to you? <br /><br />I'm would be especially intrigued by the mystery scents, President's Choice, indeed! I was always a big Pine Sol fan, still love pine everything!<br /><br />A belated Congratulations!Qwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283489032029545283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017703341820431004.post-34421957484334463862010-05-29T08:50:11.224-04:002010-05-29T08:50:11.224-04:00Hey ms freda

I sort of wonder if there was some force that directed you to that house to find those things, knowing you would appreciate them and love them more than another would.

Yeah, we make fun of it, but it is good at what it does, is Pine Sol. I bet this was a really cool couple.<br /><br /> There is something inherently sad about estate sales; I find them even more melancholy when the houses are filled with interesting and beautiful things. It makes one wish one could have known the people who owned them. I bet you will always think of these departed strangers as friends you could have had whenever you use these lovely vintage perfumes!

I squee'ed at the first item on the list - the Jicky parfum. Do you realize that YOU sent me my first ever sniff of the stuff and it was instant love?<br /><br />I also literally laughed out loud (hard to do this early in the a.m.) at Mr. Webber's having developed the Pine Sol accord. How many times have perfumistas used that term disparagingly to describe an evergreen note in a perfume?<br /><br />A big congrats dear Carol.<br />~DonnaRappleyeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368969125735482669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017703341820431004.post-58100993155663645812010-05-25T06:02:06.642-04:002010-05-25T06:02:06.642-04:00the squeeeee that was heard around the world.........the squeeeee that was heard around the world.......waftbyCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14784265823926668236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017703341820431004.post-64172408517970706862010-05-25T05:43:29.297-04:002010-05-25T05:43:29.297-04:00OMG!!
