I find its salty dryness refreshing, and associate it a lot with beach vacations. 😊I also am enjoying a sample of penhaligons Empressa, love it's soft creamy peachy scent, like a silk dress! My third pick is one I need to find and restock as I'm out of it, Elisabeth Arden's green tea, fresh and clean, I find it perfect for those days at home or for quick trips in this heat.Megan in okcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-27639999116642099842015-06-27T21:03:58.937-04:002015-06-27T21:03:58.937-04:00Talking of Annick Goutal I love a big spritz of Ea...Talking of Annick Goutal I love a big spritz of Eau de Sud in the warmer months.<br />Portia xxAustralianPerfumeJunkieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404313441040574550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-63309141266782311872015-06-26T22:27:31.118-04:002015-06-26T22:27:31.118-04:00I love Annick Goutal's Songes on a warm summer...I love Annick Goutal's Songes on a warm summer's night...it's enchanting any time of year but extra magical in the summer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-54952140568466130732015-06-26T16:32:49.335-04:002015-06-26T16:32:49.335-04:00I know I sound like a broken record about this, bu...I know I sound like a broken record about this, but for quite some time now, what I want/need most from perfumes are scents which provide a sense of extreme comfort and grounding and I seem to get this from vintage perfumes, which for me invoke a wonderful imaginary past - no disagreeable social issues invade this imaginary past. It's all about fabulous style, gorgeous architecture and interiors, great jazz, etc. Anyway, although I happily wear Opium and Nuit de Noel in July, I find that I've been going through my now substantial collection of vintage magazines and seeing what they recommend for whatever month or adjacent month we're in (as an aside, an all time fav is the '58 June Vogue with the black kitten on the cover) and then I'll go wear their recommendations or what I see in the ads (if I have them and if I don't, I start looking for them online). The end result is that this is keeping me somewhat more seasonal than usual this year. Today it's Charles of the Ritz Directoire (a bridal recommendation, but not particularly summery). This evening I'm switching to a Dior - probably Diorling or Miss Dior, since I've been inspired by the mystery Dior in the scene in the bathroom in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, which I watched last night. Yesterday it was Corday's Possession and tomorrow it will be Bandit (this is a permanent summer favorite). Although it might be Mandy's Wildflowers, Haute Claire or Cuir de Gardenia as I'm so impatiently waiting for a sample of her new scent. I do still wear a lot of current scents (love all the ones you mentioned), but definitely over half of what I wear are vintage.<br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-55026074304475259992015-06-26T13:19:43.318-04:002015-06-26T13:19:43.318-04:00I've been bathing in Onda lately and it's ...I've been bathing in Onda lately and it's amazing how it just blooms in hot weather.
