Cartier’s Mathilde Laurent brilliant in-house perfumer and author of Les Heures, has woven a web both haunting and complex with her latest labor of love, and the soliflore subject is The Lily. Baiser Vole is the result of that process.Aujourd hui, C’est La jour de la fete nationale (Bastille Day)
Eau Eternelle is pure pleasure, and there isn’t a soul I know of who could pay me enough to dissemble.
I first ‘got whiff’ of it on an unseasonably warm, crazy busy Sunday afternoon at the Sniffapalooza Spring Fling 2011.
Francesca Brice and Kate JasonSmith of Pacific Perfumes flew into NYC from, New Zealand and won the International Green Packaging Award at the HBA Global Expo. But inside the packaging are solid natural perfumes we love
Here I sit, willing and foaming at the mouth to share my delight in the newest fragrant release from a very old Firenze brand: Fiore di Riso
Farmacia SS. Annunziata dal 1561 has been said to have been housed in St. Nicholas’ Benedictine monastery for years and years, for Heaven’s sake.
So, why should you want to smell Fiore Di Riso?
It is a glorious bridge between classic and contemporary, that’s why.
“Why I smell “is more than a love paean to our primordial brain-
It is the very fabric of my life, and has given me the ability to render strange gifts into utilitarian, life-saving, even exquisitely pleasurable moments.
We don’t get to choose our gifts in life- no matter how paltry or odd they may be.
I don’t think I smelled because I wanted to, at first; I think I had to.
The question begs: what will they waft?
When Madame Michelyn murmurs “ I DO “ in front of the Divine and family, and forms the French Connection?
When Monsieur Didier –Le-Capable whispers “oui” devant le bon Dieu et tout le monde …hmmm?
