Marina - yeah, the F&P stuff is online. You can order direct from F&P in the US now, too.

Robin - it’s a cute line, more akin to say, the Bath and Body Works shops than anything else. Very middle-class-y line, so I suspect the virulent snobs will upturn their noses, while those that only look for “brand names” will wax overly ecstatic about it. There’s some nice stuff in there that’s affordable, but also some duds. For example, the hand cream smells nice but it’s way too greasy, but the household cleansing stuff isn’t bad, and I like the smell of the Tulip glass cleaner so much that I’m using it for my countertops instead of just glass.

March, I do tend to avoid the perfumed deodorants, in general, even the Tom’s ones that are scented, but I’ll make an exception here for this one. Dunno if it’s a crime to directly apply perfume in that area, but I could never get away anything like that, since I can just guess how overpoweringly strong that would be on me.

Looking forward to your review of the Fresh CS, I found it quite surprising.

Yeah, it’s got that feel to it like curly parsley, which I happen to enjoy as well. In cookbooks and with the televison chefs, they always emphasize to use flat leaf parsley in your dishes, but they seem to miss that the curly can have some interesting qualities as well. There’s a breakfast dish that I use with curley parsley garnish specifically because of its slightly grassy taste, which compliments this particular dish. I kind of wonder why more folks haven’t explored the smell of curly parsley now that I think about it - it cannot possibly be just you and I who enjoy that smell.
