Unsure of type. This particular garden has varieties NO ONE knows.
May have to ask to dig a few, come July.
Lilacs are sooooooo nice! Great scent.

Spring flowers always seem to smell more amazing than summer ones.
Hello, islanders!
Cycled around a lake, saw wildflowers, yelled at a stupid driver.
Saw some glorious iris, many unusual shades of purple & peach.
Then found myself suddenly obsessed with
l'heure bleue--that blue hour, just before stars appear.
Discovered perfume with same name. Must find & smell!
All in all, my usual bizarre mental jumble. As zip through day's tasks.

L'Heure Bleue is my perfume. It has been for years. It was created by Guerlain in 1912.
It's a fragrance that doesn't resemble anything else. If you like today's light perfumes you won't like it.
It is Brigitte Bardot's perfume and used to be Marlene Dietrich's....
Please go to a store that has it... and tell me what you think...
We could be perfumes twins...
Lovely pic! I really like reading about your cycling adventures
Ugghhh !! May I ask what you do for a living? That’s a terribly long stretch to work.

Interested in its powdery iris notes.
Very cool that you wear scent.
My old soul tires of modern fragrances, resembling candy shops.
Will keep posted.
L'Heure Bleue is such a glamorous name. I haven't worn perfumes in years though. They're too strong for me and I can only stand essential oils now, which I love to put in and on everythingL'Heure Bleue is my perfume. It has been for years. It was created by Guerlain in 1912.

But I kind of miss having beautiful perfume bottles which French names on them around.Victory!
@Mariapia On my skin, this goes on strong. Then fades into powdery/sweet. With faint smoulders of musky spices lingering.
I sprayed & announced, "I smell like a magical theatre!"

@SomethingGoodCanWork Acqua di Colonia has lighter scents, which might work for you.

That bottle is gorgeous. I am such a sucker for perfume bottles.

Oh - love old school fragances!
Love Must de Cartier and Chanel No 5 but right now I am using Stella by Stella McCartney. This is such a deep flowery scent. Very elegant, smells of spring and roses. No candy at all.
LovelyVictory!

Maybe I don't need to use them, maybe I can just admire them? Lovely
I used to have a collection that was sadly lost in a move.
I think what's wrong with perfumes for me is that they often have artificial ingredients. I have no problem with essential oils at all so it's not just about the scent, it's something else. So I have a collection of essential oil bottles instead

It’s often the propellent used in spray bottles. Sometimes the preservative. It’s just wrong how much unnecessary crap is in everyday items these days.
