Too much like my real life, you understand... so no Cuir de Russie for me. But Jolie Madame? YES. The green-flower-and-hay vibe of Le Temps d'une Fete? YES. The pipe tobacco-leather jacket-forest floor-musky skin of SSS Tabac Aurea? YES.<br /><br />I may go bid on that little bottle of Fath de Fath...Mals86https://www.blogger.com/profile/09757305840611623427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-47646917038362173632009-09-25T20:27:56.950-04:002009-09-25T20:27:56.950-04:00Hi Gaia.

There was a way women used to carry themselves that was so feminine. I remember an interview with the actresses and costume designers for Mad Men- they said it was because of the impossible undergarments.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-46658344253169356712009-09-25T20:14:02.184-04:002009-09-25T20:14:02.184-04:00Mals, thank you so much (from Giselle, too).

I've not ventured into the world of vintage fragrance (I need to stay AWAY from eBay at all costs!) but when I do I pray that I get a find like your's! <br /><br />I'd wager that Comme des Garcons scents will become prey to vintage fragrance aficionados in the future but with the way the IFRA regulations are steamrollering on, ANYTHING pre-2010 will probably be a collector's find in 50 years time. I'm already stockpiling....bk377https://www.blogger.com/profile/01772121516391117544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-78432340418011143422009-09-25T09:56:01.925-04:002009-09-25T09:56:01.925-04:00It's too bad that the animalic aspect - that ...It's too bad that the animalic aspect - that some describe as "dirty knickers" or "barnyard" -has been done away with in modern fragrances. It's what gave depth to classic perfumery. Luca Turin observed that modern society has become obsessed with cleanliness, hygiene, and doing away with anything resembling a natural human odor. We seem to want to smell of nothing but fruit salad, water, or some vague flower. <br /><br />Thanks for the YouTube clips, I'm drooling over those clothes, especially the gowns. And I love the models' glide. So much more elegant than the girls today, who stomp down the runway with a pissed-off expression, like it's a burden to be young, thin, beautiful, admired, and wearing designer clothes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-33459458108303507332009-09-25T09:26:35.699-04:002009-09-25T09:26:35.699-04:00I love that you review vintage scents!

It is somehow a shame that the idea, "Perfume is for Women, and girls should aspire to it" has become passe'. (And yet I love some girly-wirly things - like AG Petite Cherie, and Rose d'Ete...)<br /><br />Your kitty is beautiful.Mals86https://www.blogger.com/profile/09757305840611623427noreply@blogger.com
