Galanos by Parfums Galanos ~ fragrance review

Posted by Angela on 31 July 2017 15 Comments

Parfums Galanos

For me, vintage clothing falls into two categories. The first category includes dresses that make a statement because of their obviously unfashionable color, print, and/or cut.1 A Nixon-era shift in a daisy print might fit here, or a full-skirted 1950s day dress. The second category encompasses clothing that seems just a bit out of style from its color or hemline, but that’s easily absorbed into a modern wardrobe. Examples here would be a 1970s saddle leather handbag or a vintage cashmere twin set. The quality of the bag tells you it’s no modern-day mall purchase, and the offbeat robin’s-egg blue of the cashmere cardigan reads more as Doris Day than Taylor Swift, but is easily worn with whatever pair of pants you pull out of your closet.

The Monday Mail ~ help Chris find a new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 31 July 2017 62 Comments

We have another Monday Mail request. Chris wants our help deciding on his first “serious” fragrance purchase — he’s willing to invest some money and time to find the right scent — and he’d like to explore more niche lines. He’s looking for a day-wear signature scent, something that makes him feel good. While it doesn’t necessarily have to be entirely office-safe, it should be something that isn’t offensive to others. Chris lives near a big city so has good access to stores, and he can spend up to $300. Here is what we know about Chris:

Chris is in his early 30s and lives in the US.

In his free time, he likes hiking, swimming, standup comedy, technology and golf.

His perfect fragrance would be uplifting, masculine, and would stand out to some degree. He’d also like something with decent longevity…
