Day to Night Perfume for Summer
A few weeks ago in the lunchroom at work, an off-duty drag queen and I swapped perfume insight. Austin — better known as Alexis Campbell Starr and Miss Gay Portland 2013 — said he favors an Adidas cologne during the day. When he transforms into Alexis, he tops the Adidas off with a few sprays of a Playboy fragrance. “I like how they blend,” he said. (I see Alexis in a glamorous Dior, maybe one of the Poisons. We’ll talk later.)
Yet again, a drag queen and I see eye to eye. When night falls and I want a perfume with more presence or mystery, I often try to find something that plays off an aspect of the day’s fragrance. That way, whatever’s left of my perfume doesn’t grate with my later choice.
Here are a few of my summer day-to-evening perfume selections:
L’Artisan Parfumeur Ananas Fizz to Jean Patou Colony: Ananas Fizz is an easy choice for a warm day. It’s sheer and playful with pineapple and gentle flowers cooled by vetiver. (And hurray that L’Artisan has resurrected it!) A dab of the pineapple chypre, Colony, is the perfect way to deepen and “sultrify” it for evening…

The Monday Mail ~ help Lindsay find a new fragrance
Today we’re helping Lindsay, who is looking for a signature scent that smells green and alive and botanical…like a forest or an herb garden with beautiful flowers. It can be feminine, masculine or unisex (and she wouldn’t mind hearing about any decadent skin products that fall into this category as well). She is willing to shell out for the right perfume, but she’d like to sample first, and she’ll be doing her shopping online. Here is what we know about Lindsay:
She’s in her thirties and is a performer. She lives in the deep south.
She describes herself as a very feminine tomboy with a goth streak — she loves vintage dresses, overalls, red lipstick, bare feet and cat’s eye glasses.
Lindsay has freckles and wears very little makeup (other than the aforementioned red lipstick).
She loves to be outdoors and is an avid gardener.
She says she tends to be very reserved in non-performing situations…until she is not. Then look out!
Lindsay likes most green herbs, foresty notes, oakmoss, rose, honeysuckle, linden, jasmine, gardenia, orange blossom, tuberose in moderation, lavender, woods, patchouli, stem and sap-ish aspects, grass, vetiver, soil, some citrus, and she is definitely not afraid of musks…
