POSTED: Mon, 05/14/2012 - 9:22pm The classic Guerlinades! As I mentioned on another thread, I changed perfumes today. My belovèd l'Heure Bleue has been put in a dark drawer until autumn, and has been replaced by my summer favourite: Après l'Ondéé. I just love the intemporal nature of these perfumes. Après l'Ondéé was created by Jacques Guerlain in 1906. Indeed, he called it an 'Impressioniste parfum" - an impression of a wood of violets after a heavy shower of rain. I love to remember that when he created this beauty, Monet was at the height of his painting powers and Debussy was composing. Does anybody really believe that the brash modern perfumes will still be loved 106 years hence? Somehow, I don't!

POSTED: Sat, 04/14/2012 - 9:37pm Favorite fragrance Asking me which fragrance I love the most is like asking a mom which of her children she loves most, and I have so many (fragrances, that is), it's truly hard to choose. Today I'm wearing Marc Jacobs' signature fragrance, which is about 10 years old. I keep them in their boxes under the bathroom sink and they last forever. This fragrance has a wonderful top note of gardenias, my favorite flower. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Bisous, Rugirl

POSTED: Fri, 01/13/2012 - 8:58am Two New Favorites Right now I am hooked on Paris Amour (Bath and Bodyworks). The scent is hard to describe but it has a hint of champapgne in it. And the other favorite is Beach by Bobbi Brown. It smells like Copperton in a bottle. LOVE it! Patty

POSTED: Thu, 01/12/2012 - 4:06pm Hermes..and Jean...and Carthusia After finishing Givenchy's "Black Dahlia", I took Jean's advice and tried Givenchy's "Play" the proper way. So, although I was sure that this would be my next perfume, thanks to Jean I avoided spending my money on a non-me scent and wait for about a month or so for it to finish (unfortunately, I don't have the luxury to just discard the thing and buy a new one the next day). Instead, I found "Elixir des merveilles" by Hermes, a perfume extension (its first version is "Eau de merveilles") that is going to be my signature scent. At last!!! After the discontinuation of "Incanto" (the classic version) by Ferragamo in Europe, after getting fed up of ordering it from the States (!?) and giving up on it, II spent like 6 years trying new scents with no successful results whatsoever!!!! I needed to be in love as AngelaR nicely put it in her post. Now I am as happy as one can be over such a rare find as a scent that can become so personal. It's still growing on me though as I am still "discovering" the perfume under different situations: in the morning, preparing for a night out, then while I 'm out, when it's sunny, when there's bitter cold outside and the list goes on. I observe how long it stays on me and what different aromatic notes it brings out in all the cases mentioned above. It was love at first "sniff" but now this love has deepened and this perfume has me captured... Thank you, Jean!!! On another note now, I must add that the ultimate summer scent for me is "Mediterraneo" by Carthusia, Capri's parfumerie... Was wearing the last drops of a bottle I'd bought over there at my wedding and still have half a bottle of body lotion just to smell it and get my memories awakened. Unfortunatley I can only have it in my hands after ordering it online and it costs a lot if you add the shipping fees as well (without them fees 50 ml cost about 120 euros...). Better buy it while in Italy (only in fine perfume shops). Totally adored!!!!

POSTED: Thu, 01/12/2012 - 2:54pm Holidays Over the holidays I purchased a bottle of Annick Goutal's Gardenia Passion with my Christmas bonus and I am in love! I would love to wear it everyday, but I am afraid to use it up so quickly!

POSTED: Sun, 01/01/2012 - 10:27pm Chanel No 5 for warmer weather... And NOW Fan di Fendi for cooler months! My husband and son gave me the Fendi for Christmas, and I absolutely LOVE it! Apparently it is a new scent, hopefully it will be around for a while! Another favorite scent for warmer weather is called Rain, by Terra Nova. I've been wearing it since I was a teenager, it reminds me of my childhood in Hawaii.

POSTED: Sat, 12/10/2011 - 12:48pm Dearest soeurs francaise The trick for trying on perfume and like anything else that we wear it must fit.....spray or dab a small amount on the inner surface of your arm,let it dry(you can hasten that by blowing gently on it)then let it develop for 30 minutes(yes it takes that long)at the end of that time you will know if it suits you.I learned this lesson at the feet of a master parfumiere.You must also consider you complexion,hormonal status,hair colour etc.So finish your shopping,have lunch and check on it at the end of 30 minutes.Let me know how it goes.OXO

Naja	POSTED: Sun, 10/16/2011 - 3:17am Prada... After having finished my brief love affair with "Attimo" by Salvatore Ferragamo (the second bottle just ended), as of today I'll be passing on to "Infusion de Tubereuse" by Prada and let you girls know how that'll make me feel. Have a great Sunday!!!

POSTED: Sat, 10/15/2011 - 7:17pm Fragrance l'amour I try a new fragrance once in awhile. At the moment I have on Paris of Yves Saint Laurent. But, always, I return to my first love---Nina Ricci--L'Air Du Temps. I know it's been around for awhile, but to me it's like air and gravity. One must have it!!!!!!

POSTED: Mon, 09/26/2011 - 6:29pm Fragrance I've worn Chanel #19 for years. Discovered 31 Rue Cambon about 2 years ago. I wear #19 in summer and Rue Cambon in cooler weather. I recently found how to make body powder out of corn starch and my favorite perfume. It smells better than the brand product.
