I wonder if her new website will remove VAT for U.S. customers? I've addressed that issue with one of her staff before but was essentially told it was too difficult for them to do. I'm hoping that the removal of VAT will be available for non EU countries. I know , I would certainly give her considerably more business if that were the case. The VAT fees don't help making purchasing desicions with our weak U.S. dollar. Keeps fingers crossed for the best!
is Orris Noir male or female or uni? sounds like something i'd like to try. it has a lot of notes that gucci ph2 has. and i loved gph2 except not good sillage.
