Dressing up
WHAT A STINK
October 08, 2008I THINK I’d like to have a signature fragrance. The only problem is I have never found a perfume I like. I have always had a bottle or scented balm called Krishna Musk lying about. I have two The Body Shop oil perfumes. Dewberry and Indian Gardenia and I wear Perfect Potion’s Eros blend quite a bit. The romantic in me would love to be able to wear the 1921 and 1927 art deco fragrances made by the Chanel and Lanvin houses – Chanel No.5 and Arpege, respectively – but they’re too sweet on me. Does anyone know of a fragrance dating back to that era that is more oriental, citrus or peppery in tone? I sniff and spray away in department stores but come away smelling like fly spray.
