1988 - Entretien Marcel Carné et Arletty par Henry-Jean Servat (Paris-Match) | Marcel Carné

I have been silent for long, because I could not decide if I continued or not this blog.
What could I say that has not been already written ? I learned a lot though. I bought flacons of perfume rare or not, discovered the glamourous universe of fragrance and fashion, history and more. Now i come to a point of understanding that i am not talented or destined to even come close to cover it all enough to create even my own for one has to acquire a knowledge i have no time to gather.
I will love to discover and buy perfume until my last breath. In the meantime I will read other blogs with respect and comment only when I will have something intelligent to say.

WANTON & SNOW

The weather is cold grey & uncertain. Perfect for notes or accords of spice musk screaming flowers.
La DOLCE VITA is seducing me into cedar. What is the formula ? What is this poisonous sting i capt sometimes, like a dot pulsing on my radar screen. Synthetiquely perfect. A ghost in the flower pot.

R.I.P.

Je suis triste. I am sad.
I will open a PERFUMONECROLOGY (tm).
Oh what a decision for a nose ? I wonder.

MIEL DE BOIS ? - 2010
CHYPRE ROUGE ? - 2010
CLAIR DE MUSC ? - 2010
DOUCE AMERE ? - 2010

On a very happy note, i bought a divinely well preserved HABANITA extrait. Dieu existe.

More to come. Be well. - V

Reflexions

I read so much quality & new information that the slightest intention of writing a single sentence stresses me as much as final exam.
This should not be. Probable no one ever reads my tentative blabbering anyway. Oh yes, I now. My bosses. There are agency paid for that. To see what has to say when the back of guys at the office is turned. Actually I do not care.

I have made many experiences since the MORROCO flacon. I have know more than I can use in a week, many are vintage but i am still too much inexperienced to even pretend to say if the juice is bruised or intact. But my love grows, oh yes it does.
I found Shalimar in its 30 years or more composition; i use it respectfully. I dress with special clothes. I find synthesised clothes does not fit with perfume, cotton neighter.
The intention in perfumes, might it be its conception or wearing it goes way beyond the creation itself. How could we even forget the sacred aspect of the invisible part of ourselves so much!
Serge Lutens is a very good alchimist i find. I am an unpatient apprentice but i will learn.

Of trial and error of a debutante in the flower fields

I am confused and disapointed.
I have received my Saravel's MOROCCO but not satisfied at all by the juice.
And to add insult to injury I have found and old decision of the US Federal Court about a case involving Saravel's perfume WHITE CHRISTMAS. I will add the article when I will find a way to copy and paste without any glitches.
More later.
