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.

We have all those lovely ginger ones too, a nice light fragrance for
during the day - at night out comes the Chanel. I wonder what flower
essence makes that, cedar and spices and which flowers?
