Perfumes & Kate Bush's The Dreaming

Sat In Your Lap: "I see the people happy / So can it happen for me?" It seems that you don't know how to live, it seems that you need guidance even when pouring your tea. almond blossom, benzoin, jasmine; Cinéma by Yves Saint Laurent

There Goes A Tenner: "I've been here all day / A star in strange ways." In every relationship you feel like you're stealing love, will your facade keep up with your ways? saffron, leather, peach, caramel; La Capitale by Xerjoff

Pull Out The Pin: "Just one thing in it / Me or him, I love life." The soldier keeps the name of a German boy inscribed to his palm, and he has to kiss his palm every night so he could go to sleep. aldehydes, carnation, amber, vetiver; L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci

Suspended In Gaffa: "Suddenly my feet are feet of mud / It all goes slow-mo / I don't know why I'm crying." The light moves the dust, the dust is never the same nor the light, in an ever changing life how can a miracle repeat itself? mimosa, rose, ylang-ylang, amber; Apres l'Ondee by Guerlain

Leave It Open: "Harm in us, but power to arm" If you drop the act, they might not love you, but will the love received be enough when you keep staring behind a curtain? rose, patchouli; Rouge Nocturne by Terry de Gunzburg

The Dreaming: "Dangle devils in a bottle and push them from the pull of the bush." The delight you feel holding a leaf shaped like a hand. sweet pea, vanilla, resins; Deci Dela by Nina Ricci

Night Of The Swallow: "Would you break even my wings, like a swallow. Let me, let me go" You're hugging him thighter, because you know he'll leave you in the morning. lilac, wisteria, powder, musk; Love by Chloe

All The Love: "Only tragedy allows the release / of love and grief never normally seen." Like a warm glove of love that could protect you from the coldness of tragedy. ylang-ylang, musk, incense; Ciara by Revlon

Houdini: "With your life / the only thing in my mind / we pull you from the water." How the body of dead is the heaviest yet how the skin feels lighter than ever. muted rainwater, lily, incense; Passage d'Enfer by L'Artisan Parfumeur layered over Thunderstorm by Demeter

Get Out Of My House: "I am the concierge chez-moi, honey / Won't let ya in for love, nor money." The insanity of loneliness is easier to bear than the sanity of a company you're not very sure of. violet, patchouli, musk; John Galliano by John Galliano

[skiplo-wave]

It is my lucky day! I went to a community sale at a rich neighborhood. I went to see what the had despite knowing damn well I wouldn't be able to afford nothing. Skip, I got a huge box of designer and celebrity perfumes for $50 bucks. Most of it doesn't even look like it's been touched. It belonged to someone's grandmother who passed away.

Good lord

You could create a perfume nuke with those bottles

[silvios-doormat]

Here is part two of what perfumes I think the ikepri boys/men would like to wear (or at least what I think would suit them). I’m sure there are probably better fragrances, but my nose has unfortunately not been able to smell every perfume out there. All of this is based on my little pool of experience, so here it is :)

IRIS! Iris..... beautiful, elegant, powdery, clean. I’ve done Chevalier’s route enough times to know that he smells like roses, but listen, in an alternate universe where he DOESN’T always smell like roses, he’d smell like a very familiar light, powdery floral: iris. 

Iris is the best floral and obviously Chevalier deserves the best. L’Homme is iconic, it has this incredible softness from the iris but is still very clearly masculine, more so then Prada’s other iris fragrances like Infusion D’iris and Iris Cedre (which are also both woody iris scents). L’Homme, in my opinion at least, is one of the classiest fragrances made for men. This is something that exudes this air of power and strength, but isn’t loud about it, it’s subtle and delicate. It gently floats towards you and around you instead of aggressively yelling and punching you in the face. I keep talking about the lightness and softness of L’Homme because it is primarily a powdery floral, but it does definitely maintain the DNA of a masculine leaning fragrance. The cedar, patchouli, and pepper make it spicy and add that little bit of bite that it needs to give it depth and bring it back down to it’s woody accords. 

The last selling point for me is that it is a high quality perfume, both the projection and performance are spectacular. Chevalier is someone that can’t be bothered to waste his time on useless things, if he had to apply his perfume more than once throughout the day he wouldn’t bother with it. I wish I knew of a rose fragrance that has the same impact as this one, but until I find it L’Homme will continue to be Chevalier’s signature scent in my brain and in my heart.

Honourable mention: Nina Ricci L’Extase Rose Absolue

Marketed as a women’s fragrance, this is a smoky, smooth, red rose. Rose Absolue shares a lot of the same notes as L’Homme, notably cedar, patchouli, and pepper, but they don’t come across quite the same. Don’t get me wrong, Rose Absolue is gorgeous, but where I think it fails to surpass L’Homme is how much the base notes deepen the overall scent profile. The powdery rose is present, but the fullness of the vanilla and the smokiness of the incensey patchouli in the opening make it a little darker than I’d like for Chev. I could see this being an evening scent, and maybe even a sleep scent after the dry-down, but not much more than that for him.

Nizar Qabbani

Damascus, What Are You Doing to Me?

1

My voice rings out, this time, from Damascus

It rings out from the house of my mother and father

In Sham. The geography of my body changes.

The cells of my blood become green.

My alphabet is green.

In Sham. A new mouth emerges for my mouth

A new voice emerges for my voice

And my fingers

Become a tribe

2

I return to Damascus

Riding on the backs of clouds

Riding the two most beautiful horses in the world

The horse of passion.

The horse of poetry.

I return after sixty years

To search for my umbilical cord,

For the Damascene barber who circumcised me,

For the midwife who tossed me in the basin under the bed

And received a gold lira from my father,

She left our house

On that day in March of 1923

Her hands stained with the blood of the poem…

3

I return to the womb in which I was formed . . .

To the first book I read in it . . .

To the first woman who taught me

The geography of love . . .

And the geography of women . . .

4

I return

After my limbs have been strewn across all the continents

And my cough has been scattered in all the hotels

After my mother’s sheets scented with laurel soap

I have found no other bed to sleep on . . .

And after the “bride” of oil and thyme

That she would roll up for me

No longer does any other "bride" in the world please me

And after the quince jam she would make with her own hands

I am no longer enthusiastic about breakfast in the morning

And after the blackberry drink that she would make

No other wine intoxicates me . . .

5

I enter the courtyard of the Umayyad Mosque

And greet everyone in it

Corner to . . . corner

Tile to . . . tile

Dove to . . . dove

I wander in the gardens of Kufi script

And pluck beautiful flowers of God’s words

And hear with my eye the voice of the mosaics

And the music of agate prayer beads

A state of revelation and rapture overtakes me,

So I climb the steps of the first minaret that encounters me

Calling:

“Come to the jasmine”

“Come to the jasmine”

6

Returning to you

Stained by the rains of my longing

Returning to fill my pockets

With nuts, green plums, and green almonds

Returning to my oyster shell

Returning to my birth bed

For the fountains of Versailles

Are no compensation for the Fountain Café

And Les Halles in Paris

Is no compensation for the Friday market

And Buckingham Palace in London

Is no compensation for Azem Palace

And the pigeons of San Marco in Venice

Are no more blessed than the doves in the Umayyad Mosque

And Napoleon’s tomb in Les Invalides

Is no more glorious than the tomb of Salah al-Din Al-Ayyubi…

7

I wander in the narrow alleys of Damascus.

Behind the windows, honeyed eyes awake

And greet me . . .

The stars wear their gold bracelets

And greet me

And the pigeons alight from their towers

And greet me

And the clean Shami cats come out

Who were born with us . . .

Grew up with us . . .

And married with us . . .

To greet me . . .

8

I immerse myself in the Buzurriya Souq

Set a sail in a cloud of spices

Clouds of cloves

And cinnamon . . .

And camomile . . .

I perform ablutions in rose water once.

And in the water of passion many times . . .

And I forget—while in the Souq al-‘Attarine—

All the concoctions of Nina Ricci . . .

And Coco Chanel . . .

What are you doing to me Damascus?

How have you changed my culture? My aesthetic taste?

For I have been made to forget the ringing of cups of licorice

The piano concerto of Rachmaninoff . . .

How do the gardens of Sham transform me?

For I have become the first conductor in the world

That leads an orchestra from a willow tree!!

9

I have come to you . . .

From the history of the Damascene rose

That condenses the history of perfume . . .

From the memory of al-Mutanabbi

That condenses the history of poetry . . .

I have come to you . . .

From the blossoms of bitter orange . . .

And the dahlia . . .

And the narcissus . . .

And the "nice boy" . . .

That first taught me drawing . . .

I have come to you . . .

From the laughter of Shami women

That first taught me music . . .

And the beginning of adolesence

From the spouts of our alley

That first taught me crying

And from my mother’s prayer rug

That first taught me

The path to God . . .

10

I open the drawers of memory

One . . . then another

I remember my father . . .

Coming out of his workshop on Mu’awiya Alley

I remember the horse-drawn carts . . .

And the sellers of prickly pears . . .

And the cafés of al-Rubwa

That nearly—after five flasks of ‘araq—

Fall into the river

I remember the colored towels

As they dance on the door of Hammam al-Khayyatin

As if they were celebrating their national holiday.

I remember the Damascene houses

With their copper doorknobs

And their ceilings decorated with glazed tiles

And their interior courtyards

That remind you of descriptions of heaven . . .

11

The Damascene House

Is beyond the architectural text

The design of our homes . . .

Is based on an emotional foundation

For every house leans . . . on the hip of another

And every balcony . . .

Extends its hand to another facing it

Damascene houses are loving houses . . .

They greet one another in the morning . . .

And exchange visits . . .

Secretly—at night . . .

12

When I was a diplomat in Britain

Thirty years ago

My mother would send letters at the beginning of Spring

Inside each letter . . .

A bundle of tarragon . . .

And when the English suspected my letters

They took them to the laboratory

And turned them over to Scotland Yard

And explosives experts.

And when they grew weary of me . . . and my tarragon

They would ask: Tell us, by god . . .

What is the name of this magical herb that has made us dizzy?

Is it a talisman?

Medicine?

A secret code?

What is it called in English?

I said to them: It’s difficult for me to explain…

For tarragon is a language that only the gardens of Sham speak

It is our sacred herb . . .

Our perfumed eloquence

And if your great poet Shakespeare had known of tarragon

His plays would have been better . . .

In brief . . .

My mother is a wonderful woman . . . she loves me greatly . . .

And whenever she missed me

She would send me a bunch of tarragon . . .

Because for her, tarragon is the emotional equivalent

To the words: my darling . . .

And when the English didn’t understand one word of my poetic argument . . .

They gave me back my tarragon and closed the investigation . . .

13

From Khan Asad Basha

Abu Khalil al-Qabbani emerges . . .

In his damask robe . . .

And his brocaded turban . . .

And his eyes haunted with questions . . .

Like Hamlet’s

He attempts to present an avant-garde play

But they demand Karagoz’s tent . . .

He tries to present a text from Shakespeare

They ask him about the news of al-Zir . . .

He tries to find a single female voice

To sing with him . . .

“Oh That of Sham”

They load up their Ottoman rifles,

And fire into every rose tree

That sings professionally . . .

He tries to find a single woman

To repeat after him:

“Oh bird of birds, oh dove”

They unsheathe their knives

And slaughter all the descendents of doves . . .

And all the descendents of women . . .

After a hundred years . . .

Damascus apologized to Abu Khalil al-Qabbani

And they erected a magnificent theater in his name.

14

I put on the jubbah of Muhyi al-Din Ibn al-Arabi

I descend from the peak of Mt. Qassiun

Carrying for the children of the city . . .

Peaches

Pomegranates

And sesame halawa . . .

And for its women . . .

Necklaces of turquoise . . .

And poems of love . . .

I enter . . .

A long tunnel of sparrows

Gillyflowers . . .

Hibiscus . . .

Clustered jasmine . . .

And I enter the questions of perfume . . .

And my schoolbag is lost from me

And the copper lunch case . . .

In which I used to carry my food . . .

And the blue beads

That my mother used to hang on my chest

So People of Sham

He among you who finds me . . .

let him return me to Umm Mu’ataz

And God’s reward will be his

I am your green sparrow . . . People of Sham

So he among you who finds me . . .

let him feed me a grain of wheat . . .

I am your Damascene rose . . . People of Sham

So he among you who finds me . . .

let him place me in the first vase . . .

I am your mad poet . . . People of Sham

So he among you who sees me . . .

let him take a souvenir photograph of me

Before I recover from my enchanting insanity . . .

I am your fugitive moon . . . People of Sham

So he among you who sees me . . .

Let him donate to me a bed . . . and a wool blanket . . .

Because I haven’t slept for centuries

[docholligay]

Doc, you seem to know about good taste stuff. I know zero about perfumes and my (new) mother in law sent me 2 perfumes as a gift, O de Lancome and Elixir Nina Ricci. Are they any good, does she like me or hate me? Thanks!

I hope you like fruity perfumes!

I actually don't often get someone perfume unless they can tell me what they like or what they are looking for because perfume is so personal.

I LOVE big, heady florals. I read something that says "A young, bright rose" and I say, "Oh no, fuck that shit, i want an old, classic rose. Tea at Bergdorf's rose. THE FAMILY MONEY IS FADING ROSE." I love indolic, overripe jasmines. Funeral lilies.

I love dark leathers, and heavy smoke. Cowboy by a campfire shit. A hint of musk and a love of the wild and the appetites that come with being the wild. Nearly ashtray and regrets.

That is not, as you might imagine, to everyone's tastes. I mean, i like a lot of things, but the big florals and heavy smoke are normally the two that set me somewhat apart from a mass-appealing frag, even though I own and love a couple mass-appealing fragrances, and that's what I bought my angel tree kid, because they are mass-appealing for a reason.

But that's why I don't often buy perfumes for people, because it's just so hard to pick what someone might like. I love to, in my head, buy them for blorbo, from my shows, but people I don't have a good idea of their tastes, very difficult.

ANYWAY, there is nothing wrong with either of those frags! But honestly, there's nothing wrong with bath and body works if YOU like them. I mean, if we're talking from an artistic standpoint, yes, BBW is not on the level of, say, DS and Durga, or something, but if it's what makes you happy to wear, that matters more. Nina Ricci and O de lancome are both great options for a fruit-forward mid-low price* perfume. I have never smelled O myself, and Nina is too sweet for my skin, but I have smelled Nina on others and it can smell great.

But more importantly, it's a good chance to get to know what YOU like, and want, in perfume!

*In the fragrance world. I am well aware many others would not consider it that.

Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps

Nose: Francis Fabron

Notes: aldehydes, carnation, rose, neroli, rosewood, peach, bergamot; carnation, cloves, gardenia, jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, violet, orris, rosemary, orchid; spices, iris, oakmoss, musk, sandalwood, benzoin, amber, vetiver, cedar

L'Air du Temps was ubiquitous right after WWII (hence the dove of peace on the perfume bottle) and it's stayed in production in one form or another since then.

There's a sharp green/floral layer over a warm, musky, sweet skin scent with a silken texture. The green strives mightily to cut the sweetness and eventually loses.

The silky-skin texture comes from salicylates, and is slightly reminiscent of suntan lotion without being overtly coconutty.

Not my thing. Too sweet, too soft, too peachy-creamy. "Motherly" in the bad way.

Hard to imagine it suiting a heroine like Clarice Starling ("Sometimes you wear L'Air du Temps...but not today"), except that she probably imprinted on whatever she learned "proper" ladylike perfume was as a kid and never thought about it again.
