Thursday Ramblings
This week has turned out to be a little on the busy side. I’m still swooning over the new Chanels and haven’t really felt like smelling/wearing anything else. I did, however, put on some Drole de Rose by L’Artisan Parfumeur yesterday, and it was just so beautiful it made me wonder why I don’t wear it more. The inspiration for the scent came from the perfumer’s memory of mother kissing good-night before going out – the smell of her lipstick and face powder lingering in the air. That is exactly what it smells like to me, especially in the drydown – rose lipstick. I’m yet to find any leather there (it is said to be one of the base notes). On another perfume note, Mr. Aromascope has been having a very busy week as well. Yesterday morning he kissed me good-bye before leaving for work, and I caught a familiar whiff of my favorite scent. “I’m wearing Idole because I feel like a savage today,” was what followed. For those who don’t know, Idole de Lubin is an amazing exotic-spicy scent. A savage because he’s been working on a very important project and got very little sleep the night before. Needless to say, that made me laugh. It also made me happy I have him officially recruited in my perfume army. His other favorites from my collection are Bvlgari Black, Kolnish Juchten, Zagorsk by Comme des Garcons, Chene by Serge Lutens, Aomassai by Parfumerie Generale. If you have any fun stories of similar nature about how your perfume obsession affects people in your life, please share! Good day to all!
