Perfume haters and an allergic husband were obstacles to my enjoyment of fragrance. CaFleureBon’s “Profiles in American Perfumery” series introduced me to Laurie Erickson of Sonoma Scent Studio and ever since then I am besotted by the vintage inspired scents. A little tea and sympathy

I don’t know about everyone but when I’m reading a book besides imagining what everything looks like in my mind’s eye I also seem to have a mind’s nose as well. Part of my imagining the mise en scene is thinking what it must smell like. Lorenzo Villoresi has been making a series called “Fantasy Fragrances” and his latest release is Theseus.
In late 2011 the House of Liz Claiborne released the first new flankers of the classic Curve line (launched in 1996). I had naturally assumed that since over three years had passed since the last ones (his and hers Connects in 2008), there would be no more. The Curves have created quite the loyal following. Now, 15 years after the release of the initial pair, the Appeals seem to be doing just the same.
One good thing about January is there is a little bit of a pause post-Holidays and it allows me to catch up on things which keep getting displaced in my review on-deck circle. One of those new houses which I have been very interested to try is A Lab On Fire. Both L’Anonyme ou OP-1475-A and Rose Rebelle SC-7545 are good examples of their perfume ethos.
