Such great choices

Posted by Robin on 31 July 2020 4 Comments

My earliest memories of fragrance came from my mother, my cousin Deanie, and grandmother. My grandmother always wore Joy by Jean Patou; she never changed. She had one fragrance, day and night, any occasion—period. My mother was a little bit more trendy with her love and interest in fragrances, changing them out for different purposes or occasions. But I distinctly remember her wearing Red by Geoffrey Beene! And then my cousin Deanie wore this fragrance called Bandit by Robert Piguet. Bandit stood out because of the name and box, and because the woman who wore it was so wonderful. I just always attributed that to her, feeling like she made such great choices that all felt like they were part of who she wanted the world to see, you know?

Aha, who knew I could run through so much hand sanitizer? A possible addition to my collection, although I don't know if the alcohol level is high enough: Aesop's Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash, with mandarin, rosemary and cedar. "An alcohol-based hand wash to cleanse and refresh. The perfect, pocket-sized product to ensure perpetually clean hands. When fresh water is unavailable, this gentle formula will kill bacteria and combat contagions, simultaneously delivering moisturising agents to ensure hands aren't stripped of moisture. The essential companion for those who travel by public transport." 50 ml for $10 at Luckyscent.
