My perfume is rich.... or how to avoid working on a monday
This morning, I told my business partner "Stop! hold those files...".
I need a few hours for myself...
I need a few hours for myself...
After all, I've worked all week end.
Ok it was raining but still....
So today monday I just feel like being insufferably light and girly
and ponder about relatively important matters....
PERFUME
Since the age of 18, I'm in love with the same perfume
Shalimar by Guerlain
Actually I'm in love with nearly all the old Guerlain perfumes
and their names are so poetic
Vol de nuit (night flight)
Chant d'arômes (aroma song)
L'heure bleue (the blue hour)
I love the fact that they have been created
a long time ago, as early as 1912
I love the deep sensual touch
of vanilla in Shalimar
I like its meaning
"temple of love"
in sanskrit
and ponder about relatively important matters....

But you see, since I moved to the south of Spain
Shalimar has become too rich, too powerful...
So I opted for its lighter delicate oriental sister
Mitsouko
meaning "mystery"in Japanese
Did you notice how sadly empty these vials are ?
Oh yes I'm quite a perfume addict, still
there are days with and day without

Perfume does wonders yeah? Hv a happy Tuesday! :)
Once in a while I apply L'heure bleu. It makes me think of Paris after the war, for some reason. The blue hour is an enchanted time, when you are inside and catch a glimpse through a window...all is blue outside. Maybe you are waiting for a man to arrive, so that the evening of enchantment can begin.
It's a feminine powdery scent. In the 1980's I wore Samsara from Guerlain. I once read somewhere, a woman said, that every time she wears Chanel No. 5, it makes her feel like she is on her way to a cocktail party; isn't that a lovely way to desribe perfume..how it makes you feel.
Boucheron has some very good scents too. Jaipuir, and Trouble.
I hope your enjoy your time of frivolity; work can wait...yes...work can wait.

What a beautiful post. I appreciate your relationship with perfume. When I smell a scent I love it puts me in heaven. I like natural scents even more than perfume. Citrus peel, nutmeg, vanilla and the scent of real flowers like tuberose the southern Magnolia (which reminds me of gardenia and with lemon). I love the smell of clean clothes and the smell many soaps and lotions. I still remember the first time I smelled mint and basil, I was three years old. Thinking about beautiful scents makes me happy. Thank you for this post.

I purchased several of Frederic Malle's this year which are most unique--Iris Poudre, L'eau d'Hiver, and En Passant. I have a modest income, so I need to space out my purchases!
Again, looking forward to reading more of your blog this weekend! JM
