Caron have bought out a number of their fragrances in edp form quite recently. Donna which Paris boutique did you order from and do I have to use French? My French is zilch.

Caron NY will not ship to Canada -- I called them last month. We have bad weather, incompetent politicians, high taxes and no 'fumes up here. But we have tons of fresh water though.

Maybe try theperfumeshoppe.com. It's out of Vancouver, and they carry some Carons. (Lutens, Montales etc.) You could try e-mailing Nasrin to ask if she can get Tabac Blond in for you. She's extremely accomodating and very nice. If not, she may be able to direct you to someone who can. Good Luck!

I always wondered they never had an email address that worked! I ordered a bottle from them today. Including the (rather hefty postage) I paid 79euros. The bottle costs 65euros. So I'm a very happy bunny. I think in future I'll be purchasing from Paris. The SA was very helpful and offered to send me some samples. As I wasn't prepared for this I didn't know what to ask for so it will be a nice surprise whatever turns up. So thanks Donna for your suggestion.

After I found that Caron will not deliver up here, I did purchase and receive the Tabac Blond Parfum from Diane, and so I now have a BIG spray bottle of it, 50ml (it'll take me years to go through this unless I decant some). I prefer the spray bottles, so as not to affect remaining contents by dabbing. It's simply a gorgeous fragrance.

On ebay, I have to ask every time. Canadian customs people make it difficult and will confiscate -- fragrances (liquids containing alcohol), is considered a hazardous material and must be shipped a certain way.... Also, we're charged a big hefty duty to import goods. Hence most companies will not ship. As an example, to ship a bottle of Chergui to me from Barneys in NY, they would have charged me $80.US -- that translates to an extra $100CDN, which is very significant and prohibitive. I got that bottle another way
