Lord, lord, I remember that photo, too. What it makes me remember is how great it was to see a non-Twiggy, model-y kind of woman. Now it’s better than ever since I’ve (ahem) aged, and to be reminded of the idea of beauty and style – that it has all to do with being one’s SELF. Which is what makes niche and out-of-the-way scents so much fun. Another way to explore “who I am”.

It was about 39â‚¬ in Paris Sephora, as I recall!

Germans definitely go for weird, I’ve heard rumors about the filthier scents and the rough-trade guys in particular …

so nice to meet a Kenzo junkie!!! I’m getting myself more heavily involved with the line, having stupidly dismissed it as boring during my early months. Amour is my favorite, a comfort scent (and the first bottle I bought.) Oriental is next. The summer ones are just so light I have difficulty smelling them — maybe too subtle for me? Now that I’ve tried Elephant I’ll have to dig up Tigre, thanks!

Kyra, you’ll have to forgive us — “old lady” is one of those red flag dismissive phrases we use to get ourselves all worked up, because it’s so … dim.

I’m afraid to find out how much Habanita EDP cost, because I might need some.

Tschiffley!!! Of COURSE!!! I’d forgotten all about it, it’s been years since I’ve been in there. I’ll have to schedule a little trip on the subway… thanks so much!
