It was a bottle of my incredibly glamorous Grandmother's Chanel No. 5.

When I went there, I smelled Molinard de Molinard and fell in love on the spot. I would never have sought out or tried this little gem, but I came away with a bottle and have worn it far more than I wear Habanita. It has a brightness to it that reminds me of sunshine and a very expensive suncream I one had.Wordbirdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-70828454037027002682012-01-14T16:03:08.702-05:002012-01-14T16:03:08.702-05:00I'm loving the stories about amazing perfume f...I'm loving the stories about amazing perfume finds!

When I opened my car door to get out, I was overwhelmed by the loveliest fragrance in the air. I think it might have been pinon pines, not sure. It was a magical moment, though, and I think about it often.ginamusedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463988309391608095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-60830549038075961782012-01-14T03:09:40.430-05:002012-01-14T03:09:40.430-05:00In college I studied abroad in Provence, France - ...In college I studied abroad in Provence, France - I wish I could find a perfume to capture Provence in the spring (especially the markets with the lavender, honey, fresh baked breads, homemade soaps, and the cool Mistral breeze!). Since I don't really like floral perfumes, I haven't found one that worked for me. On another note, I did find my now favorite perfume on a trip to Los Angeles recently - I got the chance to visit the Scent Bar by Luckyscent and came away with a bottle of Serge Lutens Jeux de Peau :)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533306215623884974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-9771580467290881472012-01-13T23:57:26.400-05:002012-01-13T23:57:26.400-05:00I think it must have been my bottle of Ta'if w...I think it must have been my bottle of Ta'if when I visited Ormonde Jayne in London.Proximityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673050454435116732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-19630518578552084252012-01-13T23:49:08.765-05:002012-01-13T23:49:08.765-05:00My first trip to Montreal, I discovered L'occi...My first trip to Montreal, I discovered L'occitane verbena soap.

Their perfumes left me cold, but the "Cire et Chiffons" (i.e. wax and rags) roomspray is wonderful: like keeping beeswax candles between your linens. Like a well polished table (beeswax, of course)and a freshly ironed linen tablecloth with a whiff of the fresh air and the clothesline between the trees it dried on.
