The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 12 November 2019 11 Comments

In case you happen to have a hefty gift certificate to Buly 1803 and can't decide what to do with it, here's La Douzaine Parfumée, a discovery set with twelve 10 ml sprays: "All the chords are easily harmonised together or individually impregnated directly on your body.

The trouble is to find an oriental that doesn’t smell like a spice cookie or doesn’t pack so much amber that it fries your nasal hairs. Lately, I’ve relied on Guerlain Vol de Nuit, Arquiste Anima Dulcis, Etat Libre d’Orange The Afternoon of a Faun, and judicious spritzes of Serge Lutens Participe Passé (wow, is that stuff powerful) — among many others stuffed in a box labeled “cosy” in my perfume cabinet.
