MD, I love Hermès Orange Verte. In fact, I never travel without a bar of the scented soap. Any toiletries bag should be honored to hold the green plastic case and its refreshing contents.

I know this formula has changed since it was first released in 98-ish. I dont think it resembles Guet/Attrape at all, now. But thats just as well b/c its unique and gorgeous anyway. The immortelle is one of the key ingedients on my skin that makes 68 sing.

Another eau de cologne that has been a staple in my life for years and years is the Hermes Eau d'Orange Verte. BUT - I have no proof but they definitely have tweaked the formula on I think it came when they got new packaging for it. Which really really pisses me off b/c I really hate the new version. I wear the Concentree instead. I have about 20 ounces of new Eau d'Orange that is untouched b/c it just isn't the same anymore. I should sell it.

LOL. Yes, MD, I beat you to it. Not to say I can't be whisked to BG's at a moment's notice regardless of the particular obsession.

As for the packaging, mine came boxed with an atomizer attachment. It sits on my nightstand next to Une Rose, which has proved more than a one-night-stand.

As for Anna, she doesn't need to say a blessed thing.

but what pretty handwriting it is. So artistic, swoopy, and curly in all the right places if I do say so myself...

Im so glad you went before I had to drive up there, pick you up, and carry you across the bridge, up 5th avenue through Bergdorfs door and down the stairs and plant your bum right at Jason Beers feet so you could say "Hit Me!"

Its a cologne made in heaven. And like my dear Chaya, on me it performs a bit stronger than an eau de cologne, and for that price - it sure as hell better! A bottle will be mine in several weeks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Can I harp on the Anorexic packaging for just a minute? Did I miss something? when did Boxes become passe? 68 went the way of the Inconvenient Truth DVD, skipped the formalities and just threw the product in a left over Fritos bag and called it a day.

What would Anna Wintour say?

Chaya, Who knows if in fact it’s the same juice? All I can say is I adore Attrape-Coeur and now I love this. And, yes, the handwriting is on the wall indeed! It reads: "Throw caution to the wind and hop on over to the Guerlain boutique."

You're so right that eaux de Cologne serve as a personal grooming nod that one is clean and ready to face the world; and a prophylactic device against malodours too.
It's a sadly neglected tradition in most western countries I have recollection of, but in the Med it is still the little bottle that hides in the handbag, ready to be dabbed on hands and temples for some pick-me up on a hot afternoon.

Glad that 88 is proving so successful for you.

My, my.
SOMEONE has been playing with Mark David.
I see the handwriting on the wall....

I love this jus; mine is at least 10 years old, from their last release of it; but it is fresh as a daisy, and feels more like an EDP [ wears more like one, as well].

Was it reformulated ?
Mine is not pink, and I don't get any immortelle in it-
It echoes the Guet-Apens most clearly.
Gorgeous stuff.
