I want to fling myself off the Cohoes falls...

...and it's a long way down.

I just found out that Bath and Body Works discontinued my perfume. Why, oh why must they (and every other fragrance/cosmetic company) do this to us?
Several Etsy sellers claim to have similar scents available, but I'm not holding my breath. So, R.I.P. Hello Sugar. Once I make it through the four bottles I have stashed in the closet we'll have to say our final goodbyes. So unfair. Your scrumptious lemony sugar cookie aroma will surely be missed. But at least now I can end my unnecessary reliance on the Bath and Body Works company. I think they've done me a big favor. Move on.

It isn't a replacement, but have you ever checked out Christopher Brosius? He makes perfume, he hates perfume, he has a smelling gallery in Brooklyn. CBIHatePerfume.com

I have all sorts of stash here of my special perfume. It is getting harder and harder to find. Used to be called Bonnie Bell "Skin". The first time i ever smelled that was when i was very young and your great grandmother Mary gave it to me, and i have been wearing it ever since! (That's a LONG time!) Smells like fresh grass to me. Sort of like when you walk thru a field and the smell that comes from stepping on the grasses there...mmmmm

I also love lemon vanilla scent...so I make my own. Mix real vanilla extract with lemon essential oil. All natural...no alcohol. Cheap and yummy! Try it!

Sara, does the scent last long? I used to wear straight up vanilla extract as perfume and no matter how hard I tried, it just wore off within the first hour or so. I love this perfume from B&BW because it lasts all day long and then some. If your formula works well and lasts long, well, you're my new personal hero!

Thanks!
