One of the most nostalgic perfume commercials I always remember with a pang of melancholy in my heart is the one for Cacharel’s fragrance Loulou from 1988. Inspired as it was (along with the perfume itself) by Louise Brooks and her ethereal, yet also d…

Dior Addict: A Review
October 29th, 2008 — , Amarige, Chandler Burr, Coumarin, Dior Addict, Loulou, Thierry Mugler Angel from Abigail @ I Smell Therefore I Am
It was only a matter of time before I got to Dior Addict. I’d guess that anyone who loves Loulou, Amarige and other big, loud floral-orientals would be inclined to like Addict. Addict is an attention getting fragrance. It’s a sultry, sexy, spicy, complex vanillic fragrance. I love Addict.
Don’t get the wrong impression of me. I’m not the woman in the office that everyone gags when they’re

It was the summer of 1987, the summer between my sophomore and junior year of high school. I was lucky enough to get to Europe for a month to visit family and travel around. My friend and I spent two weeks in Paris. When we first arrived in Paris, I bought Loulou in the airport. I was already a budding perfumista at the age of 16 and had Diva by Ungaro, Poison, White Linen and Joy in my

Brian sent me a huge number of decants from his collection that arrived today. I have never smelled any of these fragrances. I opened the package, unwrapped all the vials, then I proceeded to take a nap without smelling a thing. I was utterly overwhelmed. Once I started sniffing, I began sending him emails with my reactions to each. One interesting point Brian mentioned is that he feels

I’m generally astounded at the viciousness directed toward Cacharel fragrances, Anais Anais in particular. My ability to appreciate the latter might have something to do with gender. Anais Anais wasn’t pimped on boys with the same virulence used to market it to girls. Giorgio, Poison, Paris, et al were made so aggressively ubiquitous to the female adolescent consciousness. Being a boy, I was

Well, no, certainly not now–but for a time, some time ago, briefly, during the sixties. When you look at Jagger these days, even in older pictures, it’s difficult to see what he was; just as, when you smell L’Heure Bleue, it’s hard to ascertain what …

I wouldn’t buy a full bottle of Sacrebleu. I don’t really like it, you see. I wouldn’t want to wear it outside. I wouldn’t want to actually smell of it. But all the same, I can’t help admiring it, or craving to sniff it on my skin from time to time. It is every couple of months or so, when I will have forgotten exactly what it smells like, that my mind will prompt me to spray a little bit on my
