your influence…! now I need to try paradoxe.

I mostly like clean fragrances on myself, so I gravitate to blanche by byredo and and casablanca from la botica (also heavenly as a candle).

Finding a perfume I like is damn near impossible! There’s always something juuuust a little off about it that makes me put the bottle down. The ONLY perfume I swear by is philosophy’s fresh warm cashmere. I also have the lotion and body wash. It is my FAVORITE scent I’ve ever smelt in my 30+ years of life. Heavenly. I’m thinking of trying out Scentbird to find more fragrances I like!

I love this story and as an avid perfume lover, am thilled perfume is now such a big deal. But really, calling scent strips or blotters mouillettes? I had to look up that term and I've been in perfume for 30 years. Let's keep it approachable.

The fragrances I wear that get the most compliments are Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille, Frederic Malle Carnal Flower, Parfumerie Generale L'Eau de Circé 05 and Arquiste Flor y Canto.

Mary, respectfully, I can use whatever term I prefer. I learned this early in my career and if you weren’t aware of what it meant, now you are!
