Cheap thrills and ritzy pleasures...
a hint of rose. And what's more important, it had something that counterbalanced the fact that my niece is not a sweetie at all. Something that is always an extremely desirable factor for girls her age, even if they're made of serial-killer-to-be material. It was pink.Since pink is my favourite colour only when it comes to electric guitars and open '59 Cadillacs, I was quite glad that the next...

Scended scents and moving movies Part 2
being washed away. Not caring about what others think is right when they're obviously wrong. Not trying to change their mind is also justified, cause it's usually a waste of time, and you have a life to live. Anaïs Anaïs with its fiery but most likely oppressed passion lurking under its pale colours is exactly what Eloise's bright eyes would send to the world either by laughing or crying....

Scended scents and moving movies Part 1
with me" personality, named after another helluva notorious tough cookie like Calamity Jane, is what fits her the best.Like a space age viking with a rather ambitious agendum, plundering the cosmos. The most recognisable breathing in movie history, and the meanest and most disturbing lightsaber colour in the universe. I used to admire him as a kid, cause something deep inside was telling...

The Dirty Dozen...
this toxic-green holocaust still has me stunned after 30 years. I only remember it coming in 125ml bottles, cause, you know, mayhem is always better when galore.Jacomo de Jacomo by Jacomo (1980)OK, we got it! There's apparently something named Jacomo involved in this...Although its vintage bottle colours always reminded me of a lightning in the night sky, it never managed to lighten the darkest facets of this...

How I got scar(r)ed for life...
laughable. Attempts like Loulou, with her campaign's dreamy atmosphere and her soft voice and her fragile looks and whatnot. Loulou? Innocent? Ha! Loulou was a sledgehammer wrapped in flimsy lace! Isn't this a push dagger of sorts beneath the thousand-yard stare? With its "blade" in crimson of all colours? No? But it should have come as no surprise, since Cacharel always fancied double-dealing...

My miniatures
my favourites in a little blog post. I love this little Anna Sui miniature of Sui Dreams. It is so cute even though it isn't old or rare, it speaks to me as a beautiful object. I love the intricate detail on miniature bottles when you can see the colour of the perfume within reflecting the light is one of my favourite things in the whole world. This is a bottle of Lalique by Lalique. My 7.5ml spray bottle of Madam...

A Passage to India
my teens I was exposed to a series of romantic novels based on the adventures of a temple dancer called Muna, the Rose of Madore. Katharine Gordon's works of fiction provided a rich tapestry of colour, passion and fragrance ... influencing my fertile immagination to such an extent that I could feel the swirling silks of the sarries fluttering around my legs and catch whiffs of the Attar of Roses employed by Muna...

Creme 21 – a german institution in the 60/70/80s
retail in self-service stores and alimentary stores. Up to then cosmetics were only sold in special stores like drugstores, perfume-stores and the like. The turning spirit of the 70s with the bright colours, new music, liberation of the youth (yes, still and again) reflects in the bright orange colour. Through unusual ad-campaigns young, open minded folks were reached, all of them...
