There are so many perfumes I wish I'd had the good sense to hoard when I was a perfume sales associate back in the day. Vintage Chanel No 22 extrait, Lancome Kypre, Jacques Fathe Iris Gris, you get my drift.... I love how older perfumes had a perfect balance of florals with civet or oakmoss, just enough to provide a little intrigue.

It was my mother's favorite, Zibeline and Antelope, both by Weil. She'd get the bath oil and wear that as perfume. I treated myself to it in the '70s and am sorry I didn't get extra! All gone now!

Have somewhat obsessively stockpiled them and, you're right, they do tend to differ from bottle to bottle (but I think Lanvin's My Sin and Rumeur take the cake for me on variability). And the fur aspect - I have worked very, very hard at blocking this from my mind. I initially invented a story for myself that some renegade member of the family who wanted to get out of the fur business created these as a means of offering something even more luxuriously textured than furs for a woman to wear all through the year....OK...yes, it was a major stretch, but I really can't resist Zibeline or Cassandra in particular (and Noir, but Petula, one of our feline children, broke both of my bottles of it - which I refuse to take as some sort of unfortunate sign). If the words "sumptuous" and "glorious" had not previously existed, I'm sure they would have been brought into the lexicon just to describe Zibeline. Oh, and "decadent" as well.<br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
