When life trips me, I head to the perfume shelves. To indulge and forget for a while about the hardships of life. And I never leave without a tiny bottle of perfume. That is my biggest sin in life and I will gladly carry my punishment one day, should there be. I use a spritz of perfume every day everywhere…to town and to the opera, to do the washing to weed the garden, after my shower and before I drop my head on my pillow.
there is a secret to good spritzing. Do you remember the way Malan and Mamy used to dab their eau de cologne behind the ears, on the wrists…well, those were the old days. The French way to do it, is to spray a cloud of perfume in front of you in the air and then walk through it. No harsh , overwhelming, nose itching smells, but rather a gentle caress on the skin, interacting gently with the oils of the skin to bring forth the subtle underlying notes of the perfume.
..l’eau d’Issey by Issey Miake – light and soft for summer..
..Intense, by Dolce & Ganbbana- for those times I feel passionate and ..intense….
..baiser volé by Cartier – reminds me of Arabian nights…
..Coco by Chanel -my favorite perfume which always make me feel elegant , and brings out my French side!
So, come on ladies, spritz your perfume, time is too short not to!
à bientôt
