You've made me again think, "Oh yes, another reason I love Europe!"

(How much do I love that you chose a perfume for your characters when you were acting!?) I've been wearing one perfume only for about the past 7 years - I used to wear two, one for spring and summer and the other for fall and winter, but I've edited down to just the summer scent, Frederic Malle's Pink Lipstick, which I found in Paris in 2001. It's hard to find in the states, so I'm pretty much the only one in the room wearing it. I wore it when I met my husband and when we were married, so it will always have a special spot on my dressing table. Another scent that I love but never wear myself is Coco Mademoiselle - two of my friends each wore it on two different girls' trips to Paris. I would never wear it myself because I love being in a crowd and catching an unexpected whiff of it - it takes me right back to Paris. If I wore it myself, that transporting moment would be lost. Such is the power of scent. <br />Hope you are enjoying a delicious week - I am thinking about the scent of a canard and Cantal tartine!

When I smell a special scent it always reminds me to a person I was very close and if you have found your special one you can leave something to your posterity even you are not together anymore .That's the secret of genuine perfum which are unfortunately very expensive because they don't contain synthetics.

You spot design detail and colour changes in everyday surroundings, where others would walk past and not stop to notice. <br />Its strange how our olfactory senses are so powerful. Smelling a whiff of an aroma, can instantly transport us back to a forgotten memory, sometimes to childhood. Aah that's familiar, I remember when...<br />Guerlain sometimes produce short runs of their springtime scents which they put under the name of Aqua Allegoria ....They had one which I absolutely loved as a summer scent which was clean light crisp and fruity, called Mandarine Basilic. For a hot day, when you don't want a heavy cloying perfume, it was just gorgeous. But it ain't no more!<br />I loved the idea of a perfume matched to the personality of the role to put you into character! What a novel, but obvious idea! I would never have thought of that! I'm sure it also helped your fellow actors, remove Heather and only see the character.<br />Thanks also for finishing with that verse from Shakespeare. It was just perfect!<br />Well, I have enjoyed reading this over my morning coffee, and had better stop rabbiting on and get on with some work!
