In reply to Tania. Tania, I know what you mean about Florabotanica. It's the sort of thing that one can't help but damn with faint praise.

I think I know the Pitt pics you're referring to, and yes, they're certainly much more realistic than his image in the advert. Does the presence of his lines warrant admiration? I don't see why not ;-)

I rather liked my sample of Florabotanica, but not enough to buy it. It has some prominent note or other in common with L'Essence, which I already have, so I don't need both. I like the Kristen Stewart advertising, though. I'm not sure why, maybe because she's the last person you'd expect to endorse a perfume.
Speaking of advertising endorsements, I recently saw the big photo versions of the Chanel No 5 adverts in Debenhams, and it looks like Brad didn't bother with any photoshopping. There he is, lines and all. Is it wrong that I kind of admire him for that? :-)

In reply to hotlanta linda. Linda, I know what you mean about the photo. Good luck with completing your collection. I love how we all use the word 'need' in relation to perfume :-)
