Question:
I'm overloaded and I've purchased way too much recently, but I love Ava Luxe and I'll be following this thread! I ordered Love's True Bluish Light a couple of days ago, and I cannot wait until it arrives. Love this one. There aren't many Ava Luxe's I haven't liked, for that matter.

I see "10% off your entire order" and I know I'm in trouble. Yes, it's getting darker and darker in here....OMG! I'm buyin' blind!

Oh Yaaaay! We're launched!
Many thanks to the formidable Moondeva for doing the research, drawing up the lists and getting Serena on board with the generous discount!!

Isn't this exciting!!

Answer:
Tao, thanks for the invite! I hadn't seen this!
I think I will be joining in. This sounds exciting. Would anyone take a look at my wardrobe for me and make a few recommendations? I've never smelled anything Ava Luxe...
I'm thinking that Forbidden Fruits and Film Noir sound fun.

Answer:
Welcome Kotori!! Really think you'll enjoy this ride!!
Besides the ones you mention - and having checked your wardrobe - think you might enjoy Black Tea, Kretek (Turkish cigarettes!!) White Tea and Vamp. - which will also fill in the suggested categories Moondeva has outlined.
Look forward to reading your experiences!!

I have White Tea ordered for the fresh/clean day...and Cafe Noir for the gourmands (wish I'd also ordered Loukhoum now as it sounds wonderful).

Answer:
Moondeva and Taolady - will you be announcing this on the Mens Discussion board? If you'd like I can announce it over there? Either way, I think there's a few Ava Luxe fans who primarily post/read the Mens boards, who might want to join us in the 'experience'?
