Karen - it's (or was) my favourite perfume. I first tried it on a Majorcan holiday about 15 years ago, and would go to the same perfumerie every evening to spray myself liberally before a night out. The irate assistant eventually twigged what I was up to, so I thought I'd better buy some! :-D

GeordieinNorfolk, you've brought back a pleasant memory for me - that's 'Roma' perfume by Laura Biagiotti <3. I had some a long while back, and just luuurved it to bits <3. Is it still around, just off to google :-)
