BdI is good no matter what vintage and if you've got enough, you can splash or spray:)Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294910261057194511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011840457872911681.post-12280540209147332292011-01-10T08:58:18.345-08:002011-01-10T08:58:18.345-08:00Someday.

Fortunately, I do love my current iterations, so the heart doesn't burst with yearning. <br /><br />Not quite. ;)<br /><br />Hmmm...going to have to pull out the mini of Sublime I have. Hadn't thought of it from a BdI perspective.

If you could snag a vintage coffret like I did the chance to score 4 vintage Chanel scents at once may justify the likely $$$ high price for you?Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294910261057194511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011840457872911681.post-54075206281785415882011-01-09T09:51:33.488-08:002011-01-09T09:51:33.488-08:00I so much love this advertising of Sublime by Jean...I so much love this advertising of Sublime by Jean PatouVintage Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17360008343132814160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011840457872911681.post-51304039483535216022011-01-09T03:47:12.443-08:002011-01-09T03:47:12.443-08:00You know, I should really stop reading your blog. ...You know, I should really stop reading your blog. ;) I really don't need another vintage lemming (one that is obviously not economically approachable). :)<br />Sounds divine though.Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011840457872911681.post-47448670090428805422011-01-08T17:53:24.517-08:002011-01-08T17:53:24.517-08:00kjanicki: Good question!

Many people seek and then feel disappointed not to get a Demeter like gingerbread from BdI. <br /><br />For me it is more subtle, an effect of the truly high quality sandalwood combined with the bitter almond and vanilla in BdI that gives an impression akin to gingerbread. <br /><br />Onto Sublime- you won't find any gingerbread here per say, but neither is there in BdI. In Sublime you do have the very same style of sandalwood as in BdI, plus sweet spice of coriander (which is often used in gingerbread spice blends), and vanilla, so there are definite leanings. But you've also got a whole lot of white flowers and some fruit notes to contend with as well in Sublime. Plus Sublime has a tart thing going on that BdI totally lacks. <br /><br />If it's a gingerbread note you're looking for, you might try for CB I Hate Perfume Gingerbread Absolute, Serge Lutens Five O'Clock Gingembre or Guerlain's yummy Winter Delice. Or that Demeter Gingerbread, if you're on a budget:)Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294910261057194511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011840457872911681.post-55901019959556214512011-01-08T16:40:19.081-08:002011-01-08T16:40:19.081-08:00Thanks for the tip!

Does it have that famous "gingerbread" note to it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02521204516836711361noreply@blogger.com
