Good morning dear folks, Hope you're all doing fine. 31 Rue Cambon is the scent that made me appreciate pepper - with its shade of smoke - as an olfactory element. After quite some days with Coromandel, I'm up for the next Chanel Exclusive. This one has never failed me. Dreamed of Obama. He was in function - at an official meeting with other heads of state - but couldn't stop laughing. It was both a bit uncomfortable and infectious. I started to laugh along (sitting with the officials), which made matters only worse. Quite funny. This was just one section involving him. I remember a nice anthology, about fifteen years ago, of dreams about Madonna. I think within this term, such a book could see the light about Obama. Like Madonna he's quickly become a symbol, appealing to our imagination. Have a good one! 31 Rue Cambon Top notes: Pepper, Bergamot Heart notes: Orris, Narcissus, Jasmine Base notes: Patchouli, Ambrette, Vetiver, Labdanum

Boucheron By Boucheron |

I didn't smell Boucheron de Boucheron since when it came out in the late 80s, I didn't even remember anything about it, probably back then I was too young for this. Following The Guide's new Ten Best Feminines that now includes Boucheron, I went to Bloomingdale's this weekend to try it: instant love and immediately bought it in edp! It smells incredibly elegant (I know that term sounds old-fashioned but I mean it in a good way), restrained, collected, timeless, polished yet highly feminine, powerful, expensive, confident and yes sexual too. Leaving Bloomingdale's I'm taking a cab going to Colombus Circle to meet friends for a night out in the city. I wasn't in the taxi for more than two minutes than already the driver asked about my perfume, that I smelled so good and that it had a certain effect on him! At the restaurant, the italian waiter said us ladies smelled very good... of course my "jealous" friends/freenemies didn't say anything because they all knew I was the one who smelled good like that but not them! LOL You know I live for that, anything for perfume attention!

Late-night Musings On Serial Monogamy |
| Posted by FiveoaksBouquet - 02-8-10 00:32 - 14 comments |

I know serial monogamy is an oddball way of proceeding for most here but I did want to share the experience. I'm in the process of moving from Cuir de Russie (back) to Jasmine White Moss, the edp of which is scheduled to be replenished in a few days. In the meantime, I've been wearing the JWM parfum and body cream, but I find the edp is the best everyday concentration. Today I found a small sample vial of edp and spritzing some on, I noticed a fleeting note redolent of the original Miss Dior, something I don't find any more in the current Miss Dior. It must be a note Lauder has captured in it's patented "white moss mist" 'cause we know it ain't a blast of oakmoss. The serial monogamy experiment undertaken a while back is having partial success. As I suspected earlier, Chanel is throwing a monkey wrench into the works. That's because the scents I embarked upon come in the 200ml bottles. I'd arrived at about the halfway point of CdR when the urge to move on occurred. For any other brand, that would have meant a used-up bottle, which was my aim, but not for an Exclusif. So I guess you could say the program is working "in principle" although in practice it would be necessary to wear an Exclusif twice as long as normal. The new bottle of JWM edp will be my third purchased since it first came to town last summer, August, I think. I didn't realize I had used so much. I'm just wondering how JWM is holding up over time for others who liked it when it first came out, and what are the impressions of those who have become acquainted with it since then.
