  1. "High end furniture polish" – another classic turn of phrase which made me chuckle – thank you! Lovely to see Ostara mentioned – many years ago I wore Le Temps d'Une Fete, which had a narcissus note, so I really liked Ostara. Was in Edinburgh with my best friend some years ago & Penhaligon's there gave us samples of Ostara, which my friend really liked – unusual for her, as a previous gift of their sample tin had underwhelmed. Anyway, a few years later, & some time ago now, when I was in Edinburgh on a solo trip, Penhaligon's had Ostara severely discounted (prior to discontinuing it, I subsequently realised) so I bought a bottle for her. At that time, she was the sole woman in the department of the company she worked for, & was thrilled that she had quite a few compliments when she wore it, never having had any comments about any other fragrance she wore!

    1. Carolyn, thanks for that story. Yes, Ostara was quite impressive. On reflection, I suppose it was probably released by the wrong brand. Maybe it should've gone to L'Artisan.

I love hearing from my readers, so please feel free to write a comment or ask a question.
