   Ha! You mean this is not the new Chanel no 19? You really had me there. (Excellent fun to go perfume browsing with you in Jarrolds yesterday. I forgot Space NK…) xx

       Yes !

       Saw Peter here today.

       Slightly falling in love with the place ( or at the very least rediscovering it).

       You aren’t here, are you ?

       ( I thought you were in Kenya )

       What? How come I wasn’t there! Norwich is a lovely city, I’ll be visiting my mum there in a few weeks.

       I’m not in Norwich, nor Kenya – we moved to Brussels in… well, it’s kind of hard to say because it happened in dribs and drabs over 2020/21. Now both employed here!

       The closest we’ve got to meeting in years though. I bet your French is amazing by now

       French amazing? No, sadly not. Altogether too much English spoken here! Not just by the international community – it also sometimes seems to be a lingua franca for the Walloons and Flemish.

       Probably a good thing then

       Brussels: dreary? Truth be told, one could do worse. I lived there from 2010 – 2017: first hated it, then rather enjoyed, now miss it.

       I would like to go to correct my misperception. A Portuguese human rights lawyer on his way to East Timor lives there and says it is a very stimulating place in terms of ideas and changing the world over chocolat chaud – I can certainly see the Brel appeal of it all even if it has never drawn me

       It’s a very comfortable place to live, perhaps a little too comfortable. And if it does get a bit dreary, it’s very easy to get to Paris, Amsterdam, London, Vienna…

       Not Luxembourg though, that really is a bit dull.

       !

       I’d love to know the subtle differences between all of these places.

   The only Paradoxe I like is the one from the 80s, by Pierre Cardin. That is a truly sublime Paradoxe.
   Shame on Prada for reusing the name of a vintage scent, and making it uninspiring at best.

     Hypnose meets Jean Paul Gaultier meets all the rest.

     Perfectly nice – but ..

   I actually liked this one! It reminded me of the OG Jean-Paul Gaultier Classique, but without the skank. I’ve definitely smelled worse!

     Definitely : I got the JPG reference immediately too.

     I sprayed some in the bathroom at D’s parents’ house and Daphne liked it immediately.

     It’s just …. not original enough AND NOT REMOTELY CONTRADICTORY

   A very interesting thought actually.

   The same thing but with kerosene and red thyme in the top ?
