As Long As The Moment Exists - Chris Fortier

Advantages: Exciting and surprising novel
Disadvantages: too many non-human types

...Background: A few weeks ago I read the first book written by Charlaine Harris, 'Dead until Dark'. Following this I was keen to try another one from her, featuring Sookie Stackhouse as the heroine. So when I saw this one in my local charity shop I snapped it up. About the author: Charlaine Harris was born in Tunica in Mississippi on the 25th November 1951. Having spent her early years in employment as a Typesetter for Federal Express, she decided to try her hand at her big passion writing.

Advantages: Classic yet modern, quality ingredients and composition, long-lasting, feminine
Disadvantages: Doesn't have the wow effect L'Instant has

L'Instant Magic is an entirely new composition but of course draws more inspiration from its predecessors other than just the very similar name. The perfume house Guerlain, Paris is one of the oldest perfume houses in the world that for more than 175 years has been producing innovative and the highest quality fragrances such as Samsara (1889), L'Heure Bleue (1914), Shalimar (1925...
