...Debra, thanks very much indeed for your insights.<br /><br />I'm not sure I'd say Trayee is a 'dessert bar', because I think that's a phrase which conjures up images of 'Western-style' sweets that are much more overtly sugar-based than Indian ones.

I enjoyed the privilege of sniffing several iterations of Trayee even before it was named, and have been wearing the finished product for a couple of weeks now, courtesy of my dear friend Neela. It's interesting to hear your impressions of spicy sweets - I certainly get the spiciness, including the dry saffron you mentioned, but the overall vibe is more sacred incense than debrahttp://after-so-much-thinking.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-78940722021888736752011-10-22T17:44:11.899+01:002011-10-22T17:44:11.899+01:00Lauren, I've heard back from Neela Vermeire, a...Lauren, I've heard back from Neela Vermeire, and she's informed me that prices won't be announced until the eBoutique is open.

(Okay, if you've never had Indian sweets, that might have something to do with it too, but we'd probably never stop if we started listing our differing olfactory autobiographies.)<br /><br />The smoky Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-71823080427784237662011-10-21T16:11:37.798+01:002011-10-21T16:11:37.798+01:00I love Traversee du Bosphore (though oddly it'...I love Traversee du Bosphore (though oddly it's identical to Sonia Rykiel for Women on me) and Safran Troublant, Nuit de tubereuse, and samsara, so I think this will be a must-try for me.

I got into it very much by its smokiness, and it went distinctly balsamic on me, but I've only tested it twice and so I'm sure other facets will come out in further carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.com
