My Mom wore Tabu, Musk oil, and Pheremone. She always smelled fabulous. Even her clothing smelled of her perfume. She always had such glamorous jobs like model and private investigator. She is always well dressed and smells fabulous! I always tried to live up to her perfection, but I never made it. LOL. Even now she looks elegant, and I look ditzy!!
What Perfume Did Your Mother Wear?
The question might suggest that your mother doesn't wear perfume now, but I don't mean it to. I mean — what perfume did she wear when you were little and she was the most important woman in your life? I talk a lot about my mother and her perfume choices, but that's because my mother was — and ...
The first time I ever experienced Chanel 5 was in Apache Jct Az. I was traveling to LA, Ca, and I pulled over to have coffee in a small town in AZ in 1982 very late at night. In the restroom, there was a perfume dispencer. For a quarter you could get a spritz of Chanel 5 or a small selection of other perfumes. Needless to say, I spritzed Chanel 5. That and a cup of the best coffee I ever experienced gave me the strength to travel on to California.
This gave a spritz of perfume, not a nib. It said to stand in front of the machine or put your hankie in front of it!!
Vintage Perfume Vending Machine
I interrupt my regularly scheduled program of vintage perfume reviews to share with you the most tantalizing email I've gotten in a while. I woke up this morning with a message from an eBay seller: "misscellanies thought you might like this item on eBay." I click over, and it is a freaking VINT...
I got bumped from Taurus to Aries, neither of which totally fits me.
My son got bumped from Saggitarious to the new on. He was bummed out until I researched it. It is an Egyptian constellation that depicts the Snake Handler or Snake God. He was happy after that!
Very macho sign!!
What's Your Sign's Signature Scent?
If you haven't already heard, some folks decided to mess with the astrological calendar. Scientists have factored in the tilt of the earth's axis since the Babylonians determined the dates of the Zodiac (um, or something like that), so now some Virgos are Leos, some Scorpios are Virgos, and so...
In the 70s my father had a business partner named Charlie and he would buy Charlie perfume for me, his daughters and his wife for birthdays and Chistmas. I loved the perfume!
Charlie by Revlon (1973)
"There's a fragrance that's here today, and they call it — Charlie! A different fragrance that thinks your way, and they call it – Charlie! Kinda young, kinda now, Charlie! Kinda free, kinda wow! Charlie! The kind of fragrance that's gonna stay, and it's here now — Charlie!" Created during t...
I love this blog! I once bought a bottle of Blue Carnation dry perfume from an antique shop for a few dollars. It was full and sealed. OH! Heaven!! It was fabulous, so spicy but with a mellowness. I used the entire bottle in a couple of years, and have been searching for it ever since. I have never smelled the true perfume version, only the dry powder perfume.
Blue Carnation by Roger & Gallet (1937)
When I think of carnations, the associations I have aren't particularly appealing. I think of them being the "cheap" flower you get when you can't afford anything else; I think of them affixed to 1970s polyester prom suits; or I think of them in awful dyed colors you'd never see in nature, like...
