Caron is one of my top two favorite houses, along with Jean Patou (or at least that one's former glory)and I love virtually everything in the line. How I would love to try With Pleasure, along with other older ones on my Caron to-do life list, which may never be complete the way the vintage perfumes are being snapped up these days. (Tabac Noir is now haunting my dreams.)Florahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00510346346502906435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-80123316298762843722009-07-22T09:30:36.610+01:002009-07-22T09:30:36.610+01:00Bijou,

It's always interesting how several of the older Carons have disappeared only to peek from time to time thanks to collectors who have lovingly picked up the bread-crumps along the way. <br />Let's hope that the Ales group tries to resurrect those Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-9799657287201636732009-07-22T09:28:05.909+01:002009-07-22T09:28:05.909+01:00D,

They evoke another era and one that had a certain something special about perfume use: it was a ritual, not something you picked up to accessorize with. I like that concept, something that becomes you...<br />The flacons look very precious and elegant. I wish I had them all in my collection!

It's rarely seen on ebay. la Fete des Roses, a rich damask rose, is another Caron I never tried and I'm curious about which I believe is easier to find than the aldehydic With Pleasure.Uellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00470633955030465849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-6976000728047513402009-07-21T21:08:33.482+01:002009-07-21T21:08:33.482+01:00Your trips through the halls of history are always...Your trips through the halls of history are always such an interesting and enlightening read.

To me there is nothing quite like the magic of an unknown vintage scent!<br /><br />Thank you for such an enticing article.

How unique is that? <br /><br />I would love to learn more about Tabac Noir. I think I may have heard about it in passing, but I don't know its composition or its history.melisand61https://www.blogger.com/profile/12802652658028346558noreply@blogger.com
