Wednesday scent of the day 6/21
It’s Hump Day and the Summer Solstice. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m (late again) in Annick Goutal Folavril, from Angie’s Top 10 Summer Fragrances 2010.
Reminder: On 6/23, wear one of your “top 10 of summer” fragrances…
Calvin Klein Obsessed ~ new fragrances
Calvin Klein will launch Obsessed for Women and Obsessed for Men in July. The new fragrances are modern interpretations of the brand’s Obsession for Women (1985) and Obsession for Men (1986)…
The daily lemming
A lemming for the summer solstice: the new Hei Poa Eau de Toilette Sensualité Mythique Tiare & Vanille, with lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, vanilla, tiare, tonka bean, iris, jasmine, orange blossom, sandalwood and patchouli. €37 at Nocibe in France.
The odour equivalent of being tone-deaf
In another space, I close my eyes and it is as if I had stepped inside a quiet Mediterranean church on a July day: I can smell the wood polish, the dried flowers, but also, somehow, the cool of the stone, the soft clunk of the door closing the deep-pile hush that builds over centuries of whispers.
This is a revelation. Whatever the odour equivalent of being tone-deaf is, that’s me.
