Hello all, sending good wishes.
Well, the other evening I noticed what was (for me, at least) the first spotting of the Ridiculous Perfume Adverts that seem to appear at this time of year. 
Now, I'm sure that some of these scents are perfectly lovely, unlike my first experience of Dior Poison when it was newly launched, which led to a friend and I driving back from Windsor with our arms out of the car 
Why can't they just show a picture of the bottle, and say "this is jolly nice, it smells like roses/new mown grass/lillies/leather/unwashed stable boys etc?
But no! The impression that they give is that the perfume is so delicious, that you might want to throw yourself off a pier in full evening dress, whilst your erstwhile beloved drives his car around the beach writing messages for you.
I was trying to think back to some of the ones from last Christmas, but can only vaguely remember black clad women slinking around dark alleys, and some silly tart venturing into the sea wearing a lot of jewellery
