What a fantastic memory, I'd totally forgotten until I read your post :-)<BR/><BR/>I have to confess I'm not big on perfume. I have five or six bottles in my bathroom, but the only reason I have so many is because it's years since I last finished a bottle (does perfume go off)? My fave at the moment is Folli Follie - it's the only one anyone ever comments on when I'm wearing it (which I take to be a good thing, although I suppose maybe it isn't ;-)Tinsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117009077032779594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405964504487663775.post-46941526358574704142007-03-24T09:11:00.000+01:002007-03-24T09:11:00.000+01:00"...a heady scent"...oh, words are just a playthin..."...a heady scent"...oh, words are just a plaything for you, Gigi!

Well worth it - I don't think it's on at the cinema any more - my son downloaded it for me on LimeWire (which is absolute c**p now, full of porn films - does anyone know a better P2P site?). Story of a 'nose' who, in the 18th century, tries to capture the smell of the human being - he himself having no body smell. It's a bit gorey as he goes around murdering women, but an interesting film...Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277397635514758674noreply@blogger.com
