Oh wow! Wow!! Wow!!! I had to wait to see these pics on my big office screen to really see all the details! Enjoy this glorious bag, Pbp. Was this an SO that you spec'ed all the different leathers?
Thank you! No it was quite a surprise. I had asked for a rouge h bag in box or another interesting leather in a Kelly. They just happened to receive this and it wasn't spoken for. It wasn't a special order. They just made it with the three leathers for durability and interest I think. The photos are terrible. I took them in the dressing room at the store, she will ship today and I'll have her tomorrow. [emoji2]
Pampelmousse rose still exists in the line of "eaux" by Hermes. To my nose, it is the "most unpleasant" of that collection. I'm quite intrigued by some of the new Hermessences, on the other hand, and I love the new Jour Gardenia.
I like to wear one perfume at the time, as well. I don't know if it is a European thing or not, but that's how I grew up. One picks a perfume and that's it for a while. My mother used the same perfume for her whole life (Lanvin), and gave up only when she could not find it in her usual store anymore.
I change perfume only when some things in my life change. Big changes. The last time was 3 years ago. I went through some really difficult time with a job, I decided to quit, take a break from almost everything that felt "not right" in my life. That's when I settled on my new scent, which is New Look 1947 by Dior Private collection. My only grief about it is that the smallest bottle they sell is too big for travel and they don't have samples. If someone likes oriental scents, their oud is probably one of the most elegant I've ever smelled. Just wonderful.
(I'm sorry for the broken down stream of replies, but I'm trying to catch up!!)
That was moi, asking.
Thank you so much for the info. I will never be able to use a high maintenance leather in pretty much anything, unless I'm ok with a "weathered" look
I love barenia, for that reason, but it has less of an elegant look, while your K is the epitome of elegance.
Beautiful!
I am a one perfume girl also. Currently it is Thierry Mugler Angel. In contrast, I have a girlfriend who uses perfume to signal her mood. When she is ticked off, she puts on a pungent pine scent that sends the family a red alert message. She has other scents that signal other things. That was as amazing to me as the friend I had 30 years ago who changed her handbag daily. I had one handbag at the time, and she opened a whole new world view for me.
to a point, it might have been true.
I have the opposite - very dry skin, and my dermatologist told me to stop using moisturizer for three months over the summer, and not to use detergents of any kind - just water. The first couple of weeks were rough. By October it was somewhat balanced, which allowed me to be able to go back to use cream to protect my skin from the cold during the winter. Since then, I never use moisturizer during the summer and my skin feels overall less dry.
I totally agree with you about older perfumes. I think we're also a little more concerned about "society" around us. I've colleagues complaining that someone else uses too much perfume (and yet, they don't seem to complain about people who have strong BO...go figure).
If someone is interested in perfumes, I think the book "Perfume: the story of a murderer" is a great read, albeit a little gory at times
Sorry, Mindy! I have been reading the forum sequentially to catch up and replying as I read. I would have just agreed with you instead of repeating what I said!
No harm meant
