Perfumes

Machine translation.

Hello everyone,
I would like to talk to you about perfumes.
The other day, I was in a store spraying several perfumes with two saleswomen standing next to me… It probably took me half an hour to find one I liked…
Why?
Because it seemed to become very sweet upon contact with my skin.
After spraying a dozen, I finally found one that suited me, and both saleswomen agreed.
Do you know of any perfumes that aren't sweet? But fresh, like Kenzo's "Sensuel," a very light fragrance.
Kind regards,
ClaudiaC

My dear intense woman,

I dare to impertinently suggest a perfume to you; try it…
GUERLAIN INSTANT

I think it suits you; I had already sent it to you on chat one day…

Friendly kiss

Dear members,

I would also like to offer some of you my advice on which perfumes to try.

For this, I need from you
some indications

7 qualities
and 3 defects

A fragrance is not merely an olfactory experience; it is also what adds to one's personality.

Best regards
Lolly

Hello

Here, it's not perfume, but I have my aloe vera and red oil of St. John's wort to follow up on my burns, especially since I got sunburned on Monday, damn.

Hello Lolly,
Thank you; I’ll try it out on the occasion… and see how I feel with it.
Kisses
ClaudiaC

Hello Dune,
Yes, indeed, aloe vera is very good for burns… if you really do get a sunburn… also try plain yogurt :wink: It's very effective. :slight_smile: It's a Greek grandmother's remedy :wink:
ClaudiaC

Hello Lolly,
And so there you go, it’s done: I’ve sprayed Guérlain’s L’Instant de Guérlain, and I’m perplexed for now. :wink: I don't know if I like it or not, but in any case, it has something powerful and mysterious about it.
Kisses
ClaudiaC

Hello Claudia,

It's powdered, so it leaves a coating,
If this perfume doesn't appeal to your senses, then I suggest you tell me which scents you like, that is to say, floral, anise, spicy, citrus…

What are you looking for in a fragrance: a light note without depth, or something that touches a particular emotion of yours—whether it accompanies you or adds to you? It is important to know your current desires in this regard, knowing that we evolve like a fragrance…

If you want, we can talk about it,

Exchange is also a scent; it deserves to be both confident and free…

Best regards
Lolly

Hello Lolly,
So I like a fragrance with a light note; I received Clinique's "Happy Heart" as a gift (from a magazine after a contest), and I liked it and received compliments.
I find Chopard’s “Wish” too strong. I enjoyed Estée Lauder’s “Pleasures,” but it was also too strong… I really want a light fragrance, perhaps because I want to feel light…
And a fragrance that matches my emotions, why not?
See you soon
ClaudiaC

Hello Lolly, my princess!

Thank you for your very generous and appealing offer.
But how am I supposed to find 7 qualities? Or pick 3 flaws, for that matter? lol!

You would have asked for 7 flaws, without hesitation, the 7 deadly sins! lol!

But 7 qualities… like the 7 wonders of the world, the 7 months of summer, the 7 days of the week…
The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments, the seven-headed hydra, the seven chakras, the seven colors of the rainbow, … and so many others.

And 3 flaws, 3 like the Trinity, like the 3 primary colors, 3 like the triad, etc.

You’ve chosen your numbers well. Also, how, next to all these 7 illustrious ones, am I to find 7 qualities and 3 flaws?
It will be very difficult for me, almost impossible.

Also, since you had already recommended Guerlain's Chamade, I will start by trying it for now, while I get to know its strengths and weaknesses!

Kisses to you, my divine one

Hello Lolly,
I’d really like to list my 7 qualities and 3 flaws… but I suspect it would go without any “critique”… hence my slight reluctance to write them down… because I’d really like to know what my scent would be. L’Instant de Guérlain reminds me a lot of a men’s fragrance I used to wear… except that L’Instant de Guérlain is more feminine, and since I feel different today than I did back then… I’d go for something else ;D
Kind regards
ClaudiaC

Hello Claudia,

But where does this infinite gentleness come from?
Her beautiful hands, when they rest on a shoulder, are a lightness
Her settling voice is a metamorphosis
That is the fragility and the strength
She sings of the proscribed men
Elegant princess of Seville

You are that, like neroli…
You seem like those Mediterranean horizons, in constant metamorphosis,

I think you correspond to Néroli…

You aspire to lightness; it is such a wonderful movement in life, not in the sense of individuality, but in that of the essential, of rediscovering that self, so rich...

I would tell you about the properties of neroli oil if you wish.

In the meantime, I thank you for sharing this and suggest the following perfumes…

JAÏPUR SAPHIR by Boucheron
CEDRAT FLEURS by Guerlain
Chant d'Aromes by Guerlain
A GARDEN ON THE NILE by Hermès
MARC JACOBS BLUSH
KENZO THE WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL

Don’t hesitate to reach out to me; it takes time to choose a fragrance note, especially when the composition is being reborn.

One thing to know: a fragrance settles on the pulse points so you can feel its harmony or clash. Take your time, it’s important…

Thank you for your trust.

Friendship
Lolly

Hello Lolly!

Thank you for this generous offer! Well, I, who know nothing about perfumes but am increasingly eager to leave my mark, will try to tell you what I would like from a perfume: first, its lightness (but not without depth), so that it lingers in the air a little after I pass by, before dissolving into a smile on the faces of passersby; and its subtlety, a scent that brushes against, that caresses, a softness but with a note of firmness, of character… I like sweet scents (vanilla), spicy ones (cinnamon), and citrus (lemon, lime, orange); as for florals, I’m not sure… I would like a perfume that accompanies me, that makes me smile, that reveals a small part of my being while suggesting mystery… there you go!

I'll start with this... I'll come back with my strengths and weaknesses...

Thanks again, Lolly, for all your time and effort!

With affection,
Barbarella

My dear sweet Queen,

M for Mercy - A for Alliance - M for Minerva - Y for Yoni - O for Ode - L for Light…

Who is she, Minerva? And yet, I lend her to you in thought,

My dear Mam, if I dared, I would call you by that name… Minerva is a deity of Reason as much as of War. She presides over all activities requiring intelligence, from craftsmanship to philosophy.

But that is another chapter for this innate alliance within you; your listening and your reason—above all, I think the following perfumes should complement your natural essence, my queen…

TALISMAN - by Balenciaga CASTELBAJAC LE COMPAGNON
TUMULT by Lacroix
Dana's CANOE
ARMANI MANIA FEMME
24 FAUBOURG by Hermès

Knowing that I sense you in essence in the notes of the unsettling narcissus allied with the lightness of the citron…
a blend of strength and gentle reason…

Don't hesitate to ask me if this seems too vague to you.

They say it gives an intimate and lucky aura, a fragrance that is in line with our emotions…

I'm sending you a big kiss
Lolly

Barbie – Puff puff, so soft…

My little one, you are thus a dance to life, a dance in laughter and desire
The desire to feel you, laughing, amused, rubbing against the frames…

You are a muse; one day a man will say... by what mystery, his presence was a caress to my soul, heightening my desire with infinite tenderness. She was like the keyboard of Life, vast in possibilities and intoxicating with indelible colors. There is a key, that of love; it has nestled in the heart of the one who loves, all in harmony. Like the child within us.

You know, my darling, sometimes we stop on a bench and wait for you, because you are not to be left behind but to be conjugated within oneself on a lasting basis.

You leave Persephone’s chrysalis and reveal yourself as Venus…

For this delicious blend, which is a hymn to joy and desire,
For this sublime treat that you evoke when we are by your side, for this side that is both defiant, rebellious, and serene, yet also magnanimous, and this different personality that attracts and is as mystical as a lipstick…

Shh!

Boucheron's problem
Klein's Obsession Night
212 de Herrera
Thomass's naughty soul
Dior Essence
Magnetism by Escada
Grès Cabaret
Tender Kiss by Lalique
There’s still a scent, but I can’t remember the name…

Lilac, violet, and benzoin, touching and indomitable, rebellious and tender…
What a sweet intoxication, what a beautiful invitation, the feast is here

I adore you, my little one!

Lolly

Hi LOLLY, I’d really appreciate your advice on perfumes. Here are my “qualities”: sociable, straightforward, cheerful, generous, sensitive, honest, and a good listener.
My flaws: frank, impulsive, sometimes intolerant.
Thanks a lot for your reply, have a good day. EVE.

Hello Lolly,
Thank you for your response.
I’m going to try to track down the Garden of the Nile… is it really inspired by the scents of Egypt and the banks of the Nile? :wink:
And for the Mediterranean horizon, I love looking at it and sometimes feel Mediterranean, even though I am not.
What is neroli?
Kind regards,
ClaudiaC

Hello dear Lolly, would you have time to look into my perfume study, because for me perfume is very important depending on what I am going to experience? I am giving you my qualities again: honest, frank, cheerful, sociable, a good listener, sensitive.
And my flaws: frank, stubborn, impulsive (though I’m working on it, laugh!), sometimes intolerant. Wearing a perfume that suits me gives me strength and confidence for every challenge in life. Thanks a lot, Lolly, for your reply, best regards. EVE.

Dear nascent Eva (evanescent)

At first glance,

I dedicate the word “impetuous” to you

Sparkling soul, with a tangy flavor, mmmmm how good it is to breathe you in…

Oh yes!

A girl one breathes in entirely through her scents, in all her subtleties, wishing she would leave behind an eternal square of silk in one’s senses…

You are like

Miss Coco Chanel, and how wonderful it is to feel this contrasting yet sophisticated personality.

Like the perfume that rises from the name of Chakock

So magical when you sit down to listen to Urvashi for Women

If on the verge of losing one's mind, then Orchid of Leonard…

And finally! I wrap you in Yves Saint Laurent's Nu.

Here is my little gem…

Try them, and if not, get back to me, we'll put a set together!

A tender peck

Lolly

Dear Lolly, you are simply GENIUS… Thank you, I am so happy, and thank you for everything you bring to us. Sincerely, EVE.
