Top 10 Spring Fragrances 2014
Where I live, it’s as if we fell off a cliff from frosty mornings and rain-slicked trees into yellow tufts of daffodils. Chives spring up in clumps in the vegetable garden, and my plum tree is puffed with blossoms. Heck, that guy in accounting even shaved off his beard. No question about it: It’s spring.
For my top 10 of spring, I’m going to be perfectly frank about the perfume I’ll be wearing. I’m not going to force-fit recent releases to show you how on top of it I am or sprinkle in variety for the sake of a well-rounded post. No, I’m going to tell you exactly what favorites I’ll be dragging from the back of the perfume closet. Judge me as you may.

Serge Lutens Laine de Verre ~ fragrance review

Laine de Verre, named for everyone’s favorite source of fragrance inspiration, fiberglass, is the third fragrance in the L’Eau series that includes 2010’s L’Eau Serge Lutens and 2012’s L’Eau Froide, and if you’re too busy to read a whole review today, I’ll just start off by saying that reader Lady Murasaki’s comment comparing Laine de Verre to Lemon Pledge was too kind. Really.
We never get full lists of notes from Serge Lutens, but the short list for Laine de Verre — citrus, aldehydes, musk and cashmeran — sounded innocuous enough…
The Lord of Glass came to place at the feet of the Lady of Wool flowers and ferns which had frosted on him
A suitably strange video for the new Serge Lutens Laine de Verre. Here is the accompanying text from the Serge Lutens Facebook page:
"It is only after he had been penetrated by the winter that, laying down his arms, the Lord of Glass came to place at the feet of the Lady of Wool flowers and ferns which had frosted on him."
