He does such a great job of putting scents into words. I included a favourite passage from it on my reading blog http://materfamiliasreads.blogspot.com/2008/07/stories-in-perfume.html<br />My mom used to wear Chanel No. 5 and Lanvin's Arpège . . . love those memories. I'm always moving between a few perfumes myself, but wish for some that have been phased out Nina Ricci's Fleur de Fleurs, for example, the perfect soft summer scent, lightly powdery, floral . . . memories of buying it in France (was only available there) and of summer vacations . . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635395853640318404.post-26501620713578901442012-01-20T07:33:00.104-08:002012-01-20T07:33:00.104-08:00I dated German guy in grads school who bought me t...I dated German guy in grads school who bought me the book Perfume.

It reminds me a little of Jean Nate. I put Perfume on my Netflix list so I'll get back to you after we watch it.

It has a very distinct scent and whenever I smell it, I think back to that time in my life. Hanei Morei is another one that takes me back to my business world days. <br /><br />A couple of years ago, I rented "Perfume" but never finished it. I supposed I wasn't in the mood. Let us know if you see "Perfume". I'd be wiling to try it again if you recommend it.Adrienne Shubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826463555838820028noreply@blogger.com
