I recently ‘threw the dice’ and chose two newish perfumes to review; quelle surprise…I like them both!
Goldfield & Banks Southern Bloom
(listed notes: Tasmanian boronia, cassis, mandarin, ylang ylang, jasmine, iris, vetiver, sandalwood, amber, musk)
Southern Bloom honours the rare and enchanting native scented flower, the Boronia, during its short September ‘spring-bloom’ on Australia’s southernmost island, Bruny off the coast of Tasmania…
The spot for Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Oriental Musk.
So I was going to show you my latest body product lemming from Ladurée, but then I made the mistake of browsing around and now I just want this, rather badly just at the moment: the Macaron Rhubarb Marie Antoinette tea pastry. "Two macaron shells garnished with a whipped cream infused with Marie Antoinette tea and a rhubarb compote." €7.50. Please send two, along with a couple of the Pineapple Mango Jasmine ones and maybe one of the Raspberry Verbena, why not?
Lalique will launch Soleil, a new fragrance for women, next month. Soleil was inspired by the ‘magic of the morning sunshine’…
Hump Day, Sherlock Holmes Day, World Goth Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Bakul Medjool for Bob Dylan Dark Eyes, from Empire Burlesque. (It did not make the Rolling Stone list of the 100 best Bob Dylan songs, but you can find a video of him singing it with Patti Smith on the Rolling Stone site, plus, you can find it on Culture Sonar’s list of The 10 Best Bob Dylan Songs You May Have Never Heard.)
Reminder: 5/24 is Bob Dylan’s birthday…
