I also adore l'heure bleue and I never thought about there being a relationship between the two...but I guess it explains why both scents resonate so deeply with me! http://chezlavie.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-perfume-favorites.htmlCashmereLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729843454611380586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-36758535712601901292008-11-22T15:02:00.000+00:002008-11-22T15:02:00.000+00:00Off to find the amusing flute...so much wry humor ...Off to find the amusing flute...so much wry humor to be found when it comes to that instrument... ;)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-9003580172090643082008-11-21T10:46:00.000+00:002008-11-21T10:46:00.000+00:00synaesthetic is such a beautiful word.

I have no idea why at all but Cuir De Russie makes me think of the song Run by Snow Patrol and snowy deserted Russian palaces where the song is playing.

It was one of the perfume gifts I had made to my mom when I was a very little girl and it was all I could afford with my pocket money: I thus have a soft spot for it, actually (I had also gifted her with Le Jardin by Max Factor, mainly because I really liked Jane Seymour, LOL ~those looooooong tresses....).

I am very emotionally involved with my perfumes. But here's one that will probably make you laugh: Jontue, by Revlon. It's a very 70s orange blossom scent, very drugstore. It was extremely popular when I was a teenager, and one of my favorite teachers wore it-BitterGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262639525430954930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-74505801576629859972008-11-20T14:41:00.000+00:002008-11-20T14:41:00.000+00:00What a pretty little mysterious commercial, I can ...What a pretty little mysterious commercial, I can see your attachment to it.
