  1. ¿Por qué lo descontinuaron si era formidable? ese aroma y el de herbal grass, son los únicos que me servían. Ningún perfume me dura, no perdura en mi piel, sea la marca que sea, únicamente el Desert Flower, y el Herbal Grass, me duraban las 24 horas sin palidecer su aroma...¡como recién puesto!!. ¿no pueden volver a fabricarlo?
