    Probably my favorite Guerlain. Appropriate for my stay in Taormina where there have been continual thunderstorms and downpours. Spending more time in the hotel room than anticipated and did not bring Apres L’Ondee with me unfortunately.

  2. Apres l’Ondee is one of the myths I will only sigh over, alas …
    I met with mimosa on the tree for the first time in Sicily, where I stayed in one of those Death in Venice hotels in Taormina, ages ago;
    and hawthorn is a favourite that I stack in my pockets and take out and smell and smell

  3. One of my favorite Guerlain fragrances. It is such a truly delicate wonder, it just seems to be bathed in melancholy.
    I have a huge bottle of the EDT, but have yet to find the extrait; well, at a reasonable price I should add.
    I have heard though that the extrait is a rather fleeting pleasure, not much lasting power to it.
    Do you find the extrait often, in the shops you frequent?

    • Never! haven’t found it even once in all my time living here. I can’t wear it, personally, either. It smells RIDICULOUSLY wrong on my skin – too much like a musky watercolour.

    Oh sorry, I just commented but apparently on the original post from 2016… I don’t understand this. Do you repost older posts and the new posts are listed separately from the original? You can delete this after responding ;P Sorry
