Tagged!
I don’t know if you have days like this but for the past week or so I’ve hated all my perfumes. As in, “get away from me I don’t want to see you right now”. I know it’ll pass, it always does. On top of everything the two fragrances I’ve been super curious to try (Kelly Caleche by Hermes and Strip by Agent Provocateur) slightly infuriated me for their lack of performance (more about that in my next post). So to perk things up a bit, Marina and I are doing another joint project of tagging each other: “If this was a perfume, what perfume would it be?”
1. Paintings
Mit Und Gegen by Wassily Kandinsky - Harissa by Comme des Garcons. Hot, fiery spices.
Boy on Mt. Fuji by Hokusai Katsushika - Bois Farine by L’Artisan Parfumeur. Warm, milky woods.
La Primavera by Sandro Botticelli - Femme by Rochas. Lush and deeply carnal.
2. Movies
Bridget Jones’s Diary (the first one) - Pink Sugar. Nuff said.
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark - hmm, I’ll go with Dzing! by L’Artisan Parfumeur.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - one of my absolute favorite movies. I’m thinking Muscs Koublai Khan by Serge Lutens - complex, twisted, and heart-warmingly down-to-earth.
3. Celebrities
Pamela Anderson - Rumba by Balenciaga. Obnoxious, with a dirty side, and a twisted appeal.
Clark Gable - Antaeus by Chanel. Classic and a tad rebellious.
Alanis Morissette - Noir Epices by Frederic Malle. Beauty with an edge.
4. Outfits
Valentino Fall 2007 Haute Couture - Clive Christian X For Women.
Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2007 Haute Couture - Eau des Merveilles by Hermes.
Oscar de la Renta Fall 2007 Ready-To-Wear - Jaipur Saphir by Boucheron.
