    Pannetone? what an odd thing to toss in the mix! Actually, aside from the patchouli and musk, this looks like a veritable buffet!

    Pannetone? what the heck is pannetone? sounds like something you’d use to clean paintbrushes or gum off the driveway!

    BUT, other than the mystery scent….it sounds delicious! Another orangey thing for Daisy to try!

          Daisy, Off topic, my lovely cat who found me story I posted late Thursday. We were talking about names of pets. We obviously have the same feelings about animals: My neighbor has a cat named Parcel, because he came in a unexpected box.
          I have a beautiful long hair little cat who came through my pet door because she had literally been starved almost to death, her poor hip bones were sticking through her skin, and she had mange, fleas, worms, anemia, malnutrition, and infection. I took her in and named her Cosette from Le Mis She is still and will remain little, but she has beautiful long hair and is so sweet and loving. She is one of the most beautiful cats I’ve ever seen. I love her so much. I don’t understand people who do that to animals. I would probably fly into a rage and kill someone who was abusing an animal.
          Kindness pays.

            Hiya, I did go back and find your story…just had to remember which articles were for thursday before I realized I could just check the dates (duh) —anyhow, “Parcel” how cute —I love stories behind the names. And Petite Cosette, the little dear—so lucky to have found you, good survival instinct, yes? Isn’t it funny how the sicker they are when you find them the better a pet they make later on? My kitties all seem to know that I saved their lives and love me accordingly. The nicest one is the one we snatched off of “death row” —the next day she would have been put to sleep. The shelter that my daughter and I used to volunteer at was only set up to house about 150 cats….at the time they had over 300 and it was the end of september which traditionally signals the end of the adoption season. The director waited as long as he could before deciding that almost 50% would have to be put down over the next 3 days. It was heartbreaking the volunteers and vet techs were all walking around with tears running down our faces, I think almost everyone took (yet another) cat home that day. I picked the sweetest little skinny striped girl with big green eyes off the row for the next day…I picked her up and immediately she began licking my chin and rubbing her head on my neck….hugged me all the way to the car. Over the next two weeks she was very ill and ran a high temp but my vets were great and she pulled thru. Her name is Daisy (mine isn’t really) so now I have 3 rescue kitties and one rescue dog….I can’t volunteer at shelters anymore, it’s just too heartbreaking.

            We have recently domesticated a feral cat-yes you can. I named her Miss Hiss as she used to hiss when we went near her. At this moment she is sitting on my lap watching me trying to type this. What a loving moggie.

          • Daisy says:

            How very clever of Miss Hiss to allow herself to be adopted into your family. And there is just something about computers and cats…the moment I sit down there’s someone furry trying lay on me or the keyboard….the keyboard is a particular favorite because you can’t ignore someone laying on the keys.

      You could call it cake, or sweet bread. You can buy them in the US around Christmas at places like Trader Joes, Williams & Sonoma.

        I buy Pannetone every Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Some have fruit in it, some have nuts, some have raisins and some are plain. The one I bought for Easter was plain. The texture of the cake is very dry and is not sweet like our cakes usually are. In fact a lot of Italian pastry is not sugary sweet. The ones sent from Italy are packaged beautifully in decorative boxes with pretty ribbons. (But then you can buy a 3-euro item in Italy and they wrap it up as if it were a precious bauble.) I buy my Pannetone from a small local Italian deli.

    Joking ;-) I love Laura so this one is surely very nice! Though… white rum???

      You need a smidge of rum to cut the sweetness of the pannetone, no?

    I so thought there was liquor in pannetone. I love it — and now I want to sniff this one.

    Pannetone is a slightly sweet bread always with candied citrus fruits in it (not almonds). The thing that’s weird is that the kind you buy in a box from Italy has a very distinctive “perfumey” fragrance that my husband and I both adore. So even though my husband is an excellent baker and there are bakeries in our city (Berkeley, CA) that make homemade pannetone, we always, every Christmas (when they are on sale), have to buy the kind in the box because none of the other kinds have that crazy smell that we both adore. I’m not sure how this “note” could be simulated in a perfume, as it’s a very complex scent on its own.

      I’m sure they can use any cake-y accord and call it pannetone, why note?

      That sounds so good!!! Now I not only want to smell the perfume, I really want to try the pannetone too!!! It sounds perfect for me–I’m one of those weird folks that scrapes the frosting off of cake because it’s too sweet…

    I was given a pannetone for Christmas once – quite near its sell by date (as in days away) and probably from T K Maxx. It was dry as burnt toast. They’re not going to reel me in with that note, ha!

      Perhaps the giver didn’t notice the date, but that’s too bad that it was yucky.

        Thank God for you Daisy, and me too I guess. My password is my Bichon’s name. I rescued her from a puppy mill. That makes a total of 5 cats-all rescues. If I don’t get married son I’ll will become one of those old “cat ladies” you hear about. I can’t work in a shelter or even a vet. I would die a little everyday.
        There should be a perfume named “Kitty Cat.” It could be sultry and flirty. In a sleek jewel eyed bottle with a golden leash on it. I’d buy it.

          It would have to have that sun warmed fur and dust accord that cats naturally have……although most days my cats tend to smell a little perfumey….because they hang around with their mama. I’ll tell you what—my cats smell really good in 31 Rue Cambon!!!

          hey, there’s nothing wrong with being a crazy cat lady….until you dye your hair blue….then it becomes weird!

          Maurer & Wirtz has one called “Pussy Deluxe” and a flanker named “Velvet Kitten Pussy Deluxe”… the names make me laugh! I haven’t smelled either one, but the bottles are great. Here’s a link to the prettier bottle:

          http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Maurer-Wirtz/Pussy-Deluxe-Velvet-Kitten-4049.html

          I think they’re fruity florals, or fruity floral gourmands, or something, so the juice itself doesn’t really appeal.

    At least it’s got some *different* notes unlike every popular scents that comes out…rum for example. I hope I wouldn’t rather drink it than smell it.
    Does anyone else notice the bottle looks kind of like a ahem, “Feminine hygiene product?” Sorry.

    That reminds me of a friend of my husband’s, who once ate an entire pannetone for breakfast, AFTER eating two bowls of cereal(allegedly) . He was very ill afterwards, and I was too after hearing the story.
    Sorry, that is rather random…I can’t imagine how “pannetone” could be a fragrance note? Do they mean generic pannetone? Wouldn’t that just smell cakey/bready? What sets the pannetone smell apart?

      It probably just has a cake, or fruity cake accord.
