The Pharmacy at Venet la Varenne are sure to have it and if they don't
they will order anything, they are wonderful. I was in there when our
GP came in, I got 2 kisses on the cheek, and asked how I was. I said
" fine thanks, I'm just going to put my arm in the blood pressure
machine" he waited to see the result, nodded approvingly, kissed me
goodbye and off he went, I didn't get that in England.
They sell the most wonderful Eau de Cologne made with Iris and Lily of
the Valley, I sprayed it on liberally and smelled just like a perfumed
garden.

I'll have one of those, please. ;-) My favourite scent is Diorissimo -
probably because I can't grow Lily of the Valley! Must be a subliminal form
of compensation.
Someone living not too far from from us - Cath Collins - makes gorgeous
perfumes scented with things like Ginger Lily, Lime, Lemon, Cedar and again,
it's like walking through a garden to wear her perfumes. A friend of mine
who hasn't been able to wear perfume for years because of allergies, finds
she can wear Cath Collins's and Jo Malone's stuff.
