If someone really loved me, they would fetch this, for me:

Habanita, by Molinard, is a one-of-a-kind scent I have loved. It smells sensual, edible, inviting. It inspires gently biting someone's skin.
*Don't be fooled by the top notes, as it's not a fruity scent.
"A rich floral-oriental parfum with fruity top notes of bergamot, orange flower and peach, floral heart notes of rose, jasmine de Grasse and ylang-ylang on base notes of sandalwood, vanilla, oak moss, vetiver, ambergris and leather, classified F1f."
It even has the most beautiful flacon designed by Lalique, the black crystal bottle with a frieze of nudes encircling it, and a gold cap. I ran out some time ago. I recently discovered that Molinard, for some reason, had "reformulated" the scent, in recent years. The scent was created in 1921, and I can't find any explanation as to why they changed it. Reviews of the scent in its new form sounded disheartening.
I wondered how I could find or get reproduced, the scent in the form I originally loved, ~ and just as quickly as I asked it, I discovered that Molinard had done a special reissue of several of their classic scents!
That first link above, is to Habanita, reissued in its classic formula. Voilà!
Now, if I could just afford it!
