It was Flambeau by Faberge. I have been following Andy now for a while and hope to try a few of his creations. Mirium sound wonderful!

She stopped wearing it after her bottle was finished about 15 or 16 years ago. A couple of years back, I saw it at the NM counter and spritzed some on the blotter. Wow, talk about the memory of scent! Immediately, I was taken back to my childhood, and had vivid imaginations of the apartment we lived at, what the flooring and furniture looked like, what it smelled like. Mind you, mom wore it everyday, regardless of occasion, so it's the smell of her. It's such a comforting scent to me even to this day, and I keep a bottle in my perfume cave, but I rarely put it to general use. I have to be in the right mood to wear it.trtskhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279557943509829971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-50019088392741794342011-09-30T09:05:48.984-04:002011-09-30T09:05:48.984-04:00One of my fondest scent memories is of my grandmot...One of my fondest scent memories is of my grandmother, who was a lovely person in every way possible,and her Emeraude. When I went to stay her, and after my parents had left, I would make a bee-line for her vanity and open the pretty green bottle and dab it on myself just as I saw her do it. I miss her very much, and I miss her Emeraude.Muraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696515619367729913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-45777066597187763142011-09-30T07:55:44.581-04:002011-09-30T07:55:44.581-04:00My Mom was not a regular perfume wearer, but I rem...My Mom was not a regular perfume wearer, but I remember a gift from her of Muguet de Bois when I was 12 or 13.....that was what started my love affair with scent.

I bought a small bottle of the perfume when I was 20 years old. Every time I dabbed on a few drops, it always gave me such a feeling of joy. Although the fragrance has changed somewhat through the years, I still get that same feeling just by taking off the cap of No. 5 and smelling it. For an instant I am 20 years old again.Filomenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08926164293677351844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-14678231007704677592011-09-30T02:07:31.716-04:002011-09-30T02:07:31.716-04:00My mother always wore Arpege when I was young.

She will be 98 in November and I hope I can find another vintage bottle. I think Miriam will give us that vintage scent with a modern twist so I hope I win this draw.

She was of the time that a woman was never properly dressed until she dabbed a dot behind her ear and one of her inner wrist.

It smells like playing dress-up to me, childhoods spent in closets putting on real furs, high heels, clip-on earrings, and makeup from heavy compacts. (These women were middle-aged, but elegant and mysterious in their own ways, with interesting accents and a life "before" me that I could feel when they talked about Italy or NYC, where they were from.) I wear Eau Premier during the day, but I break out No. 5 when I want to feel ladylike.Christinahttp://blogs.fingerlakes1.com/snowconesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-75471552959254919582011-09-28T12:19:03.428-04:002011-09-28T12:19:03.428-04:00My fondest scent memory was of my Mother wearing S...My fondest scent memory was of my Mother wearing Sortilegedremybluzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847217852218948266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-24560320775259611462011-09-28T12:17:13.984-04:002011-09-28T12:17:13.984-04:00My fondest scent memory was of my mother wearing S...My fondest scent memory was of my mother wearing Sortilegedremybluzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847217852218948266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-53705220811419797322011-09-28T11:53:32.224-04:002011-09-28T11:53:32.224-04:00My scent memory is of a lost scent, Shiseido's...My scent memory is of a lost scent, Shiseido's Murasaki It was my mother's signature scent, and when it was discontinued she stopped wearing fragrance at all. About five years ago, she was diagnosed with cancer, and I became obsessed with tracking down another bottle for here. Found a vintage bottle on ebay, overpaid to get it, and also found out that they still made it for the Japanese market, so bought a new japanese bottle as well. Unfortunately, the new bottle is a reformulation, but at least she still has the vintage one.Karen Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759624347227740308noreply@blogger.com
