[Adrienne]

most of these seem way to heavy to me. i'd imagine they'd give me huge headaches

[Aprill]

OH yes!!! I cant wait I have to have diesel!!

[JordanGalore]

Awesome! I'm very excited about these upcoming fragrance releases, especially Diesal. Thanks for posting!

[magneticheart]

I like the idea of the first one being quite old hollywood glamour. For me that would make me want to buy it but the model says "I love the pepper smell."
I'm not too sure I would want to smell like pepper, I'd just be sneezing all the time

[lapuce]

Sounds interesting!! I will have my eye on Magnifique by Lancome.

[xtiffanyx]

The "old hollywood glamour" part sounds very appealing. I'm used to wearing very light scents, but I'll definitely check these out.

[savvywoman]

yay...can't wait to get my hands on them!
