It also isn't exactly what I'd call a 'gourmand' aroma, as it really doesn't smell like 'food', but maybe it would be classified as that. Who knows? I just know it is an amazingly beautiful aroma. It brings back a LOT of 'sense memories'...the feel of the summer heat, the cicadias 'singing', the bitter-sweet knowledge that summer will soon be over, etc. But, I loved that aroma long before I associated it with any memories at all. It does, of course, bring back my childhood memories full force.Carolina_Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00738640822222278018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-44027027979301247572011-01-20T11:06:41.399-05:002011-01-20T11:06:41.399-05:00Hello, Non Blonde!

I've been wearing Shalimar EDP all winter, and I love it. I also think that it has somehow contributed to being able to detect notes in other fragrances. <br /><br />Carolina, I think the Santa Maria Novella line has a hay perfume. I have not smelled it, but I know that their other scents have been spot on for me. Diptyque used to have a fresh mown hay candle-Foins Coupe-which smells exactly like what you described.<br /><br />Have a good day, and thank you for the beautiful blog,<br /><br />CaroleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-41947621369759790382011-01-20T03:12:54.746-05:002011-01-20T03:12:54.746-05:00I've just found your blog, and have been readi...I've just found your blog, and have been reading your impressions of all the Guerlain perfumes, as they top my list of all-time faves. (I'm 66, and have been wearing Shalimar since I was 18 (or younger when I could swipe some of my grandmothers, so make that since the age of 4 or 5(?) I have of course worn tons of different perfumes by different houses since, but always go back to my Guerlains at some point. And, like you, I cannot wear the watery florals no matter how much I love them. Anyway, I have a question. One of my all-time favourite aromas is a large cornfield in the evening at the end of a long, hot day as the corn nears maturity. Do you know that aroma? If so, is there ANY perfume that uses that, or an accord resembling that? If not, I wonder why not. Anyway, I'm off to read some more of your blog now. Thanks.Carolina_Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00738640822222278018noreply@blogger.com
