What a fun thread! I'm a Guerlain woman, too. In summer I wear Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune and in winter I still like Shalimar. I'm sorry to hear about Ode--I was hoping I just couldn't get it in the US anymore and looked forward to finding it in Paris in October.<BR><BR>I wore Tresor for years, but it finally seemed too "sweet" to me.<BR><BR>Several years ago I bought a small vial of a Guerlain perfume in Paris that I used up and it was thrown out and I've searched for it ever since. All I can remember was that the packaging had lots of greenery--tropical almost--and I swear the name had something like "Eden" in it. If anyone can help me before I go back I'd be SO grateful--it was wonderful!

Mel, you can check about the different Guerlain perfumes here:<BR><BR>http://www.guerlain.fr/<BR><BR>Otherwise, you will surely remember, when in Paris in a Guerlain shop (or department store), when you see all the different bottles.<BR><BR>As far as I remember, Cacharel has a perfume with 'Eden' in its name. Don't recall it for the moment.

Ann, yes Noa is still made, but Cacharel doesn't make that much publicity for it, at least not here in Europe.<BR><BR>http://www.cacharel.com<BR><BR>Mel, if you're not sure about who made it, you better go to a department store (Le Bon Marche, Galeries Lafayette or Printemps) in Paris. They all have huge perfumery departments and will know what you're looking for. They also have testers, in case you're not sure. Once you smell it, you'll know.<BR>Little Bear is wishing you bonne chance! ;o)<BR>

I've worn Ma Griffe by carven for years...then I'll alternate sometimes with Anais Anais. I used to love Snob but haven't seen it for years!<BR><BR>I find you can order almost anything from www.perfumania.com at excellent prices and free shipping over $59.00

Perfume has been a mad passion of mine all my adult life (in fact, in many ways it prepared me for certain aspects of adult life!). There's so many fragrances I enjoyed years ago which no longer exist. Does anyone remember the following:<BR><BR>Casaque by Jean D'Albret<BR><BR>Bigarade by Nina Ricci<BR><BR>L de Lubin by Lubin<BR><BR>and many others.....<BR><BR>On a related subject, how's the shopping at CDG for duty-free perfume?<BR>The last time I was in Paris I had to run to make my flight, so I did not have time to shop. Do they just have the big name fragrances, or is the selection more extensive?
