I don’t normally like gourmands since I spend so long baking, but I adored Ambre Narguile! All cosy and gorgeous.
It really is, isn’t it?
I do find it a bit much, but like just knowing it is there in case I need it. For me it requires the coldest weather, and just a spray on the back of the hand is like a blanket. I don’t think I have ever actually worn it out the house.
Oh I know exactly what you mean! I have several fragrances that I keep for just in the house. LouLou is one of them. It takes me back to the 80s when I was a student. I won’t wear it out though, as I would hate to hear someone say “Can you smell LouLou?” I like my smell to have no name!
THE LOULOU SHAME! How I know it. And understand completely, although I HAVe worn it out and been vastly complimented on it. I adore that scent. Absolutely and wholeheartedly.
I love cinnamon, too in cold weather. Eau Lente, Un Crime Exotique, Tabac Rouge and 5 O’Clock au Givembre are the one’s in my collection that have that warming note. Un Crime is the real huge cinnamon bomb, though, and garners many compliments.
Gosh Neil, I can’t imagine having no central heat!! Even here in Florida, I avail myself of central heat when it drops below 65 degrees. I am a wimp!! It sounds like you guys need a good New England wood burning stove to ward off the chill. Stay warm!!
Un Crime is amazing: I put it in my Ginger post, but it could just as easily have been in this section instead. I don’t think I have ever smelled such a spiced cornucopia done so convincingly. Eau Lente! I love that perfume and had forgotten about it. Can you still get it? In Japan typically they only sell the fresher Diptyques: I would wear Eau Lente because I love that dense, slow-moving opoponax. Tabac Rouge I know nothing about….more please!
I do not know if Eau Lente is available in full bottle form. For sure on E Bay. I bought a decant from STC. Will they ship to you? I would be MORE than happy to send you some Tabac Rouge. You have my email address if you want to send me yours. I could send you a little international care package!
