   My mother wore Calandre wonderfully well. It was lovely on her. I tried it myself and it felt alien and synthetic on my skin. That was many years ago. I’m due for a retry. Things change. 😉

     But I can imagine the alien and synthetic thing somehow (after all it was supposed to conjure the idea of metal). It is certainly not a warm perfume but as you know it has a beautiful tenderness to it under its surfaces.

     Are you a fan? I love this kind of scent when I am in the right mood. That silvery soap dreamsy clean thing.

       Perfectly described. More than perfectly. Yes, that silvery soap dreamsy clean thing. With metal.
