I returned to my room this afternoon to another bag of the old Blaise Mautin toiletries, courtesy of Marie Hedelin.

Since I only like the bath/shower gel, I will be happy to share the rest. I haven't taken inventory yet of what's in the bag. However, in addition to what I've already set aside for SanDiego1K, I think I have four more sets of shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion to give away. If SanDiego1K only wants body lotion, then I have more shampoo and conditioner to share.

Rules of the Game:

1. Post in this thread a special memory that you've had at the PH Vendome and what the old Blaise Mautin scent evokes for you - i.e. similar to Marcel Proust and his "recherche au temps perdu."

2. I will select four winners or more, depending on how many sets I've got.

3. If selected, you must email Marie Hedelin and thank her.

4. You will contribute at least $10 to a charity of your choice.

Fortunately, for once, I am not traveling with just a 22" roll-a-board. I will be home in late June and will post the winners list and ask for mailing addresses at that time.

Bonne chance à tout le monde.
