    Yes, Mitsouko does have a peach note, personally I find the whole thing so well blended that the individual notes don't stand out from each other very strongly but as it dies down you get the peachy warmth from it.

    Favorite Vintage Perfumes

    I was searching for a vintage signature perfume and yesterday found Guerlain's Mitsouko. I bought it on impulse and am so glad I did, since I got it home, I absolutely love it, its so rich and mysterious. Its strange that when I looked it up on the internet, it was created in 1919 and I love the...

    1920s - fashion with fun, whimsy and chic

    Egyptian revival I found it very interesting to read in Paul's research about the Egyptian influence on 1920's make up. I know it existed in clothes too, must do more research. I was in Egypt in August and was left completely haunted by the tombs, the carvings, the temples everything! Its funny...

    1920's undies! Thanks to Mojito and Paul for all the great info! I should have given more detail in my post, as I had read the previous page, I guess I was thinking along the lines of images and more detail.

    1920s - fashion with fun, whimsy and chic

    starting my collection! Thanks Mojito! Yes there is a small hole, it was described by the seller and i'm hoping to repair it though she points out that it can't be seen with the black slip, as you say, the dress would be lovely with other colour slips too, I'm so excited to see it!

    post birth corset etc Hi, Thanks to everyone for the comments and suggestions! I've been told that over here even though you are expected to work on the muscles when they're ready, many women also use some light control garments to help put pressure on things to contract back to normal.
