With the heatwave of July and August fading away into a distant, though still unpleasant memory, I finally feel like experimenting with perfume again. I know that it may sound ridiculous, but when the heatwave was at it's height I was only able to indulge myself with a few delicate favourites. Soft, light scents were a must and I clung to the calming cool breeze of aldehydes. Spicy perfumes and new additions to the olfactory landscape were quite impossible.
Today, however, I dug out a little vintage bottle of Worth's Ver Toi and am currently luxuriating in it's light woody loveliness. It's given me that perfume sample itch again and caused so many thoughts to rise to the top of my mind. So, this Autumn, there will be a return to perfume reviews on this blog. There will also be diversions and digressions, no doubt, into many other subjects.
