How did I miss these in Endo-Exo? Hmmmm. They sound delicious. I wish I were in France! (For other reasons, too, not just fragrance...) What do you think of this line?

I think that the notes sound interesting. I initially thought that they were simple soliflores but they sound more complex than that. I'll plan to sample them.
