Congratulations @Sammy Royal-- you have modeled it beautifully! I completely understand how you feel. I got mine this afternoon. I was interested in this because I missed out on Jardin de Leila and it is so beautiful-- it was love at first sight for me too though I had intended on another cw. But once I tried this we all agreed. I think it is magic! I love the color tops you have shown it with. I love your description of it, too!Faubourg Tropical CW 11 - looks darker on H.com and very much like my Leila. Had, therefore, not considered it at all. IRL it is sunny, creamy, peachy- and was love at first sight. Sorry for the bad lighting but I had to share my joy with you immediately...

@etoile de mer that blanc/canelle/rouge is the one I wanted but I wasn't collecting at the time and missed out. This was so reminiscent and I am so happy to have it (not that I would say no to a JdL!) but it would be good to see them together. I will have to check out that thread!Lovely, Sammy, thanks so much for sharing!I have the Leila CSGM in blanc/canelle/roux. You, as well? If so, could you possibly share a pic of both beauties together in the CSGM thread? I thought my Leila might feel too similar to this lovely Tropical, but perhaps not.
