    Oh, yes, very much. I like Youth Dew, but it can be a little too bold for me sometimes. Sans Nom is younger (slightly), gentler, and calls less attention to itself.

    That's a perfect description and very fetching too :-)
    (love silk slippers, so luxurious....)

    I've always coveted a pair of black silk pumps. I have off-white ones, from my wedding, but I could never bear to dye them.
