I have:
Vanniliers-- nice vanilla with a floral note
Rose Eau Des 4 Reines-- have to get back to this one, was very powdery rose when I bought it. Am in a rose mood lately so must find this.
Ambre--FABULOUS warm, gentle, kind amber. Some ambers are a bit harsh and look-at-me-I'm-unisex for my tastes. This is lovely.
Vervaine--This one is FABULOUS. Verbena. Beautiful fresh verbena, the kind you want to smell forever. Not shrill which I have found can be the case with verbenas. The body products are wonderfully refreshing.
The Neroli edp is very rich, it almost has a chocolate note to my nose. If you like neroli you should try this one (it's like an elixer compared to TBS neroli). Unfortunately it makes me kind of nauseaous. I've tried it quite a few times and it always has that effect though I really love the way it smells. Maybe I'm sensitive to it or something.

I knew we could count on you for some reviews, teacake!
As a rose nut I'm keen to try Rose Eau Des 4 Reines. But I am very fussy with rose scents; only a few past my sensory tests!
Again, I like vanilla in theory but in reality do not like many vanilla-based perfumes as they seem too sweet or cloying. Must spritz Vanniliers.
Amber is my new love in scents, so I am also dying to try this one. I wish adore had perfume samples!
I'm really keen to try some. I'm about due for my cheer-me-up Adore purchase as well!
I'm interested in Verbena and the Honey Gentle Water. Finding it hard to choose and I'm limiting myself to just one! The Honey Gentle Water sounds like a really different smell, but the Verbena sounds like something I couldn't go wrong with based on the perfumes I tend to like.

The Honey Gentle Water has no alcohol in it so if you want something long lasting I would go with the Verbena. I thought the Honey was nice but I'm not sure how much staying power it would have.

I have the Green Tea - it's lovely in summer. One of the nicest green tea scents I've sniffed, very clean and fresh but still feminine.
The Honey Gentle Water has no alcohol in it so if you want something long lasting I would go with the Verbena. I thought the Honey was nice but I'm not sure how much staying power it would have.
I don't think I'd mind that so much. I rather like perfumes that I long lasting because I often get a headache from the stronger long lasting ones.
Only thing I really hate is when they fade to a funny smell. I have a green tea one (not L'Occitane) that I reckon smells a bit like urine at the end of the day. I doubt anyone else who smelt it would agree but it makes me paranoid that people will think I stink!

Rose the Honey Water bottle is really really cute. The bottom is rounded so it is like a little top. It comes in a waxed cardboard box, like an ice cream container. It sounds like you wouldn't mind if it was light so I bet you would love it.
The vervaine is strong but very fresh.
I have mentioned this in another thread, but I will re-post here I have the Honey Water, and for some reason I can't decide if I like it or not. Some days I love it, some days I can't stand it! I find it lasts quite well on my skin... but then again all fragrances last well on my skin.

I have a very mixed history with honey in fragrance.. most of the time I hate it. I have only smelled the Honey Water on a card (I'd sprayed every available patch of skin with other things at DJ's by then) and it was very nice but.. knowing my past Honey problems I would test run it. Glad to hear it lasts though.

I bought my niece the vanilla - for those of you who love vanilla, this one is sublime. A true, rich vanilla.

I AGREE!!! It's one of the few perfumes that actually last and the smell is devine (not something I expected from a brand that doesn't solely make perfume)

I was surprised too but it really is a delicious fragrance. I like the rose version too.

Hmmmm.......... I have to go Lucky Dip shopping this week, might have to detour and have a sniff of this Vanilla. I am sure there is a place here that stocks it.

You can usually find it in any David Jones...although love the LOccitane stores because they look so cute and French (unfortunately we don't have one here cos Wollongong sucks)

I love them too!! Of course the products are fab no matter where you buy them but the concept stores are super-gorgeous! The best one I ever went into was in Vietnam!
