You may remember way back in August 2004, I was bemoaning the discontinuation of *my* beloved Crabtree & Evelyn Vanilla fragrance. It would seem I am not the only one doing the bemoaning, because I receive a reasonable proportion of hits searching for it.

Well, the parfum gods have smiled upon me and I have found a substitute – hurrah!

Yay for L’Occitane Eau des Vaniliers!

Not entirely the same smell, but close enough to make a happy Mrs Hardly.

Oh fuck! I just dropped spaghetti bolognaise on the CREAM carpet.
