A protective barrier

Posted by Robin on 28 June 2019 2 Comments

I use perfume to build a protective barrier between me and the world like a bewitching invisible cloak that protects and envelopes [sic] me, a sort of protective but obnoxious way of controlling the atmosphere which immediately surrounds me.

— Designer Edward Meadham writes about perfume, in Edward Meadham: The Power of Perfume at AnOther.

    I loved this short piece. I really like the way he describes his relationship with perfume. I never have tried Tralala either.

      I remember that I agreed with Kevin’s review at the time, but now I don’t even remember Tralala. And don’t think they still make it (?)
