D.L.Wood, you need to read French author Marcel Proust's "The Remembrance of Things."

Sensory images do, indeed, evoke memories. Wow, D.L., that was a hot one!

Lin, thanks for opening a spicey conversation.

One thing about perfumes, they can bring back memories. Maybe that should be a marketing direction for one of them.

I was in the back of an elevator awhile ago and six women crowded in and one of them was wearing a perfume that the girl that gave me my first blow job used.

Now three things came to mind.
(1) was that great feeling and the vision of her head bobbing up and down as I sat in the front seat of my 65 Chevy.
(2)was , what perfume that she would have bought forty years ago, would still be sold today.
(3) if she smelled Old English today would she remember me.
I doubt it, I barely knew her. She was just doing her part for the war effort, I was going off to fight the dreaded VietCong and she wanted me to feel good before I left. She did her part well, I had a smile on my face for a few days after that night.

Lin and fluffy readers, may I recommend Flower by Kenzo?

I've never seen it advertised in the States. I bought it in Paris. It's about the red poppy on the bottle (perhaps a promise to enhance sensuality the old-fashioned way--narcotics?).

I don't get a kickback from the company, so this is unsolicited testimony. And I am a vegetarian, feeling quite at ease indulging in an opiate. It's not meat, after all.

Ahh..the old stink um up in the bottle. Never cared for ANY fragrance, except patchouli oil which Mrs BT and I both wear with frequency.

Hippies at heart.

Alas, they don't have that sort of groovy Christmas packaging around here.

How do you get on finding vegan perfumes? When I was a vegan (for many years) it was almost impossible to find genuine vegan scents unless you mixed them yourself.

I can't wear many perfumes either. They smell sweet in the bottle, but very chemical and offending on me. I just stick to light body sprays.. they cost less anyways :).

Lately I've been wearing "Twisted Peppermint" in the holiday spirit.
The packaging for it is adorable.. it actually has silver glitter and plastic red and white "peppermint candies" in it, which float around when you shake it, like a snow dome.
