Same old open thread poll: talk about anything you like — the perfume you’re wearing today, any wonderfully scented flowers you’ve smelled this week, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women) held their annual beauty awards on Friday. The winners for this year’s awards in fragrance are:
Women’s Scent Prestige ~ Prada Candy…
Some rainy days inspire me to match their cloudiness with watery,wistful fragrances like Guerlain Apres L’Ondée or Frédéric Malle L’Eau d’Hiver. Other rainy days, particularly ones that fall after an especially beautiful sunny weekend in May, provoke me to counteract the forecast with something bright and euphoric. Lately I’ve been using a patterned magenta umbrella that cheers me slightly whenever I open it, despite the gloom and damp of the day’s weather; the right fragrance can have a similar effect on my mood.
This week, my anti-gray fragrance is Sarah Horowitz Perfect Bliss, for which the perfumer Sarah Horowitz-Thran was inspired by the floral arrangements at her own wedding. The composition for Perfect Bliss includes top notes of blood orange, mango, and papaya; a middle accord of gardenia; and base notes of vanilla, patchouli, cedar, and musk.
I like Sarah Horowitz’s lists of notes, because they usually reflect just what I’m smelling in the fragrances themselves…
