I adopted the "don't chase things" approach quite a while ago. 😄 Seems to work juuuust fine. Only problem is that the adjustment bureau's schedule is very different from mine. 😆 Me want NOW, but me get later. When not expect. Or care anymore. 😂 Caveman not happy. Or something I didn't even know existed will just fall into my lap out of NOWHERE and I don't know what to do with it. 😵‍💫 I suppose I should be appreciative since they apparently know the future? Or are challenging my distaste for spontaneity? A little help here...

Oh the physical, mental, emotional, but most importantly the spiritual experience that is chypre. It is an extraordinary thing to behold. You don’t wear a good chypre it wears you. In the way that it’s in the driver’s seat and you are a passenger on a trip to a place you are elated by. I wore a vintage 70s Miss Dior yesterday and when I put it on I let go and let it take the wheel. Wonderful video as always my guy. 🙏

I wore and absolutely loved Paloma Picasso in the 80s and 90's. Today's version is really one of those fragrances that is just a shadow of it's former self. Now Jean Patou's 1000 is a fragrance that I could never afford in the 80's but I worked at Saks Fifth Avenue at the fragrance counter, so I was well acquainted with it then. Today I own it, and I think it's still very similar to how I remember it was back in the mid 80s

I was at one of the mini launch parties for Paloma Picasso. Her married Jonas Salk who had a lab and home in La Jolla, CA. I be as a student, a freshman. I still have the bottle of pure perfume she gave to the guests. It was a little frosted glass bottle and my gd, it smells so beautiful. I was also at the mini launch party for Nikki de Saint Phalle. That’s a very Interesting perfume. Just to continue my brag…lol…I was at a party at Madonna’s house prior to the launch of Jean Paul Gaultier Classique…where we were gifted bottles of perfume ( I loved it then). I don’t know any of the Roja Dove’s mostly because of the price point. Apart from the Roja’s and Chypre Siam (I can’t stand that lime note as a perfume…it’s too Thai Kitchen smelling to me), great list. My great aunt wore Arpege. I have her empty bottle. I love that stuff. Oh…Ysatis…❤❤❤. And your right, the new product sucks. But the vintage is so much fun. I have a bottle of Coty Chypre. I bought a bunch of old bottles of perfume from some shop. I did not know what some of them were because the labels were gone. T he Coty Chypre was so pretty and it wore it a lot till I invited this big perfu me collector to come over and go through my things. She told me what she thought it was and the bottle seemed accurate. And Mitsouko! I get so many compliments when I wear it…and I love it so much….the perfume not the compliments. But I think that it puts a smile on my typically dour face when I wear it and people notice. It’s such a feel good perfume. Good video… Chanel #5…. I guess if you don’t get, you don’t get it…but wow…how come you don’t get it? Those flower petals really dance. I had fun. Cheers

Finally, a ranked list where I already own the top 5 and don’t need to sell another kidney 😂 One of my more recent acquisitions is Chypre Palatin. When I wear that, I imagine being outside, maybe in a lush green meadow, and I have a massive diamond in my hand and hold it up to the Sun. The light strikes the diamond refracting all kinds of beautiful light through its many facets. A rainbow of changing colors. It’s just stunningly beautiful. Oh, and it looks like Roja threw his hands up and changed the name of his signature scent on his website from simply Roja to Haute Luxe! The people have won! 😅

Eucris and Sandalwood are both great and so too Spanish Leather. I love using Spanish Leather as an aftershave in cooler months. The Trumper collection comprises 4 fragrances (Curzon, Astor, Wellington and Marlborough) that apparently trace their origins back to the 19th century. Who knows whether the current fragrances bear any resemblance to the historic formulations but if you are interested in upscale classic barbershop style fragrances (well, Trumper’s is literally a barbershop after all) then I haven’t found any better. FYI, Trumper sells a gift set with 30mls of each of the aforementioned fragrances for £125 (not sure how easy this would be to acquire in the US).
