I would love to live on the pages of Boden…in the carefully understated and deliberately casual world of the inconspicuous (British upper-ish) middle class elegance, the world of fun skirts, comfy jersey tops

September 5th, 2007 — Joint Projects, Miscellaneous, Mr Colombina, Perfumes for Imaginary Encounters from Colombina (Marina) @ Perfume-Smellin' Things Perfume Blog

Mr. Colombina came up with a little game, in which he randomly names famous people and I name a perfume that I would wear if I were to meet them.
