Oh Portia, you’re tempting me more and more… I have decided to order the Zoologist travel set of 3 scents but I can’t decide which ones to buy. I haven’t tried any so I’m choosing by description only. Do you have some suggestions?

Hey Neva,
TBH I’m totally in the dark about the Zoologist line. I haven’t tried them yet. People are raving about the current one Civet and the Ellen Covey one, is it Bat?
Good luck.

I would love to try more from Parfums de Nicolaï (I already own Week-End), but the scents in the Discovery Kit are not a good match with the ones I am most eager to try. So I think samples from the Canadian Zoologist-line are more likely to be what I order next.
Today I enjoy Cartier La Panthère in edp.It was a bought without previous sampling on Black Friday, and luckily was a good choice. Even so, I have to say the scent is that of a rather tame cat, more cozy than sexy. I guess that’s often the case with mainstream offerings. A nice warm floral, so it fills a gap in my collection.

Hey Ingeborg,
I love that they are doing these samplers but I would also like more choice. If the Heeley had a couple of options I would have it in the air on its way to me right now.

Heely flies off the radar for me because they seem overly expensive, to my mind ,anyway, and are only avail. online? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks for the heads-up Portia; lots of temptation there.
The Heeley set reminds me. Now that Heeley has discontinued Ophelia, is there another white floral in their line that is worth trying for an Ophelia fan?

Hey Greg,
You need to talk to Gabriella Fink because she LOVES the Heeley line or Jill at Peony.

Hi gorgeous,
The Heeley is so adorable and the Goutal are so handy…. But NO!!! Not now anyway.
Think I am going to save my dough for a bottle of Amouage instead.

Luckily I have finished my Christmas shopping, and am too poor to be tempted. (That Heeley set has everything in that line I want to try.) I did get the M. Micallef Advent Calendar though, which has been a lot of fun.

Hey Laurels,
