On sultry summer days this year (there’ll probably be around, oh, fifteen of them in Seattle if we’re lucky), when someone asks me what sultry perfume I’m wearing, I’ll have a hard time saying (whispering?) “Juliet.” First, I don’t like Shakespeare’s annoying teen, the inspiration for this perfume, and secondly, Sweet Anthem Juliet,1 the fragrance, does not remind me of virginal 16th century Verona girls. As I wear Juliet, I’ll be thinking of the South Pacific and Gauguin’s colorful images of half-naked men and women, flowers around their necks or in their hair, lounging near the sea. I wanted to use Gauguin’s painting, Jeune Homme à la Fleur to illustrate this post, but it’s not in the public domain, so the tattooed guy above will have to suffice (and I don’t think anyone would dare give him grief for wearing a perfume called “Juliet”).
Sweet Anthem, founded by perfumer Meredith Smith,2 is an indie/artisan perfumery based in Seattle. Juliet combines many of my favorite things…
Les Parfums de Rosine will launch Ballerina No. 1, a new ‘soft and delicate’ fragrance for women…
Welcome to Wednesday! Please share your scent of the day. I’m wearing Olivia Giacobetti’s I Love Les Carottes by Honoré des Prés.
Have a great idea for a theme for a Friday community scent of the day? Do tell! (I won’t have time today to comment on every idea, but promise that over the next week I’ll copy all your ideas into Evernote, my version of a working memory.)
Reminder: this Friday, June 6, let’s all try to wear something by Chanel…
