Tomorrow is our big bash in Yokosuka : all kinds of people coming- new friends, old friends (how nice it would be if some of you could also just turn up and introduce yourselves after all of these years); drag queens, pole dancers, performance art, a mix of djs, we are going all out (even though I can barely walk…)
I suppose I can at least try and smell nice though …. a question I have been meaning to put to you on here for weeks but just been too busy ….
I have considered all manner of fragrancing, from super soapy to white floral – I still haven’t told you my Tuberose Story, when I wore DSH Tubereuse with a natural tuberose oil in Shinjuku ( as Burning Bush) and had by far the most intense night of perfumed compliments ever – people stopping me on the street, screaming with joy (literally), but that doesn’t feel right for tomorrow. The forecast is cloudy / rainy / steamy. It is going to be a long day. Nothing too aldehydic/ poetic/ fragile/ tragic. But then nothing too ‘fresh’ and tedious either – I don’t want to smell like a mindless dullard.
I was going to ask for your advice but, wrong though it might be, I now THINK I am going to be wearing 60’s Shalimar edt ( just because… if it works in all the air conditioning, just some on the body, it could be gorgeous), layered with lashings of the ginger ambered sexiness of original Gucci Envy For Men. Probably too much. I may well reek. but Don’t hold it against me. I just can’t help it.
That combo sounds delicious and very well suited. I don’t think many 30th anniversary parties have pole dancers, I love your commitment to the occasion. The idea of pearl themed gifts and a romantic meal out would have me suicidal!
Me too — HEINOUS- though I know it is right for the many.
No : tomorrow shall be rather different
Make it so if people can’t find the venue by signs, they can find it by smell! Have the most amazing time!!!
Actually I have picked loads – LOADS – of wild star gazer lilies to take so you are not far off
I know you don’t like to wade too deep in nostalgia, but I really associate you and 1993 with Kenzo pour homme in that beautiful green blue bottle. I think it would be perfect. Happy happy anniversary you two xx
Thanks E
Funnily enough the Kenzo came into my mind : I still have that same bottle from back then and a very fresh deo stick that works nicely – especially as it is by the sea…. I usually wait until the roasting summer for that one
I think this event calls for Nasomatto Narcotic Venus. XO
Would you mind dropping by drenched headily in it ?
It would be lovely if you could
Emma is on the money – that Kenzo. And that Kenzo on you. I had some. More recently I have worn Korres Water Cedar Lime which reminds me of the Kenzo.
Axx
Loving the Kenzo love – I will be returning to it.
The ginger of Gucci was a big hit yesterday – a real compliment magnet – it felt kind of perfect
xx fabulous. Look forward to hearing all about it in August
Will be great to see you too
Well congratulations. What a milestone. Wish I had been there for the sights, smells, and sounds. Long may yer combined lum reek.
I vote for Kenzo pour Homme!
Do thrill us with your tuberose story!
I definitely will. ..
Ah, to be there!
