Stumbling across Serge Lutens...

I was a horrible perfumista while I was in Paris. There just was not enough time to visit the perfume shrines.
I did manage to locate the Serge Lutens boutique. I gazed longingly at the Sarrasins and Louve bottles through the closed doors.
But...do not cry for me.
Later that day, I met Mr Christopher Sheldrake himself.
The man responsible for my beloved Fumerie Turque and Ambre Sultan.
I wanted to kick myself for not choosing to wearing one of his scent creations. I had foolishly worn Frederic Malle's Iris Poudre.
I told him that I was a huge fan and he seemed startled by the fuss. I am guessing that he is blissfully unaware that he has a huge cult following on the fragrance board at Makeupalley.
He is full of charm and it was a delight to hear him speak on the art of perfumery.

So in honor of my latest crush...
A Fragrance of the Day Poll

  5. i wish i could wear perfumes. when i moved to the east coast from the midwest, everything started smelling like grandma's old perfume on me. most recently, MJ's daisy turned on me! until then, i am sparingly wearing my 1471.

  7. as a matter of fact, today, i'm not wearing anything because i have a cold and my nose is running and right now, any perfume or cigarette smoke would send me into a sneezing fit. damn. i hate days like this one. but otherwise, i would wear baiser du dragon today, as it's dark, cold and raining cats and dogs. i like the amaretto and the vetiver of the cartier. yummy.
    ad sheldrake, i'm not very familiar with his creations, save for feminite (lovely), have to check it out

  10. I was wearing Guerlain Imperiale and after that Dior Homme, but after my shower now, I'll be changing into Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Man. Favorite Sheldrake is probably one of the following: Chergui, Fumerie Turque, Feminite du Bois, Miel de Bois OR Iris Silver Mist. Maybe the last one really, but I wear the rest way more often. Latest love? Caron Narcisse Noir
