Perfume in the Glossies: May 2008

Slim pickings this month. Boo to the usually (relatively) perfume-heavy Allure for hardly any perfume content except for another basic column from “Fragrance Guy”, Frederic Malle, in which he advises that “using a heavy oriental such as Shalimar or Obsession in summer is like wearing a fur coat” and that “sexy summer fragrances are generally made up of white flowers such as gardenia and orange blossom”. (One wonders if it pains a man of so much knowledge to have to adhere to a very primitive accessible format undoubtedly requested by editors…and also if it pains him to be called “Fragrance Guy”).

…But kudos to Vogue for finally starting to cotton on to the existence of the world of fine perfume, and by fine perfume I do not mean 80% of that which appears on the numerous ads on its pages. Erika Kawalek, in an article entitled Into This Air, visits Osmotheque, goes away deeply moved by Iris Gris, Scandal and Rose Jacqueminot and attempts to obtain her new favorites. The articles goes to mention names that one somehow would never expect to see in Vogue: “perfume detective” Anitra Earle, Jaime Lliteras (that’s right, he of the now legendary eBay store!), The Perfumed Court, Luca Turin, Tania Sanchez and a number of very niche scents like Onda and Bois Blond. I feel a sense of strange satisfaction observing Our World (the world of perfume maniacs that is) slowly but steadily seeping into the pages of glossies and from there into the world of normal people general public. To quote Leonard Cohen, first we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.

A New Opinion About The Body Shop: Vanilla, Eau De Toilette

I very rarely go in The Body Shop. I used to back in the day when it was all the rage but now there's so much competition for them that to me the place is outdated and overpriced and although I love the concept and what they do I much prefer lush and ranges that are available in Boots at sometimes a lot less than The Body Shop.

However, I was talking to my best mate Pink who is a mind of information who was enquiring if I was still single (I was worried she was on the turn or summat lol). Anyway she had a solution she reckoned. I thought oh know she ain't gonna try fix em up like I'm a saddo is she?! No. Her solution was to get me to go to The Body Shop and spend me pennies on this stuff.

She has too much time on her hands and reads many magazines and in one there was an article about Vanilla in general. There was a list of products to buy and suggestions on how to use it and all that sort of thing. In the article this Eau De Toilette was heavily featured. It spoke about it's aphrodisiac effect on men. Basically it's meant to give the man the horn and be attracted to you.

Well I'm a single girl and I'm very much the kind of person that will give anything a go so unbeknown to Pink off I went on her advise and I treated myself to the whole range, I though in for a penny in for a pound!
