A repeat of a poll we did in 2016. The pandemic is over, and you’re going on a road trip. You can go anywhere that you can reach in about a day’s driving from your house. Tell us…
1. Where are you going?
2. What’s the perfect fragrance to wear in the car?
3. What other fragrance(s) will you bring with you, and what will you do when you get there?
4. Is there any perfume shopping at your destination, and if so, what will you buy…
This could be very nice for summer: Petite Chérie Fizzling Body Fragrance Mousse from Annick Goutal. "Goutal’s Petite Chérie tells the story of a kiss between mouth-watering pear and blooming rose. For a limited edition, this iconic creation takes a summer holiday and promises us long sunny days, full of discoveries and freedom. For the occasion, Petite Chérie reinvents itself in the form of a fragrance mousse that fizzes on the skin like an icy cloud. Enriched with Argan Oil, the astonishing airy texture crackles and then instantly sinks into the skin, leaving it refreshed and intensely scented, for soft and kissable skin." £38 for 125 ml at Harvey Nichols.
Diptyque has launched Othoniel Rosa, a new fragrance in collaboration with artist Jean-Michel Othoniel. (The Othoniel Rosa candle was introduced last year…)
Happy Captured Unicorn Friday! Our community project for today: wear a perfume that you thought would be impossible to get, but you managed it. If you have not yet captured a unicorn, wear anything you like and tell us about the unicorn you’d like to catch. Thanks go to Undina for the suggestion.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
After reading everyone’s stories this week, I’m not sure I really have a unicorn…so I am wearing the fragrance that I would consider worth the effort to try to capture if I did not have it through no real effort of my own: vintage Diorissimo in the houndstooth bottle.
Reminder: 8/28 will be Dealer’s Choice, edition 4…
