Happy July 4th weekend!
The weather is stunning this morning - crisp (60 degrees), crystal clear and bursting with what I like to call 'Happy Air.'
Later today, my sister is hosting a holiday party for our family. She always pays special attention to the details of decorating and creating a theme for our get-togethers. I'm in a feisty party mood myself!
Of course, I'm already wondering what might be the perfect perfume for this evening's event. I could play it safe with something fresh and summery, like DKNY, Jardin en Mediterrannee, Sur le Nil or Kenzo's Summer.
Or I could shake it up.
Borneo, Ambre Sultan, Azuree and even Rumba all sound exciting. Rumba, I have never worn, owning it primarily because it is an early composition of the brilliant Jean-Claude Ellena. (Wave a lighter over your head for Ellena if you're a fellow groupie.)

ReplyDeleteI'm wearing a lot of Timbuktu these days (though Friday I did wear Nil), though I don't think it's very Fourth of July-ish - probably I should find some american made scent!
Enjoy your weekend, Josephine!
Hi Bloody Frida - Nice to hear from another Ellena fan. I ended up wearing Cabaret yesterday, which was oddly right. I'll be posting about Timbuktu soon - funny you mention that.
ReplyDeleteBTW, just ordered Agent Provocateur - excited to try it!
Happy weekend to you, too!
Oh, Cabaret was probably a good pick! It was far too hot here for that one - I like it in the fall. I like that big puffy musk.
ReplyDeleteI like Rumba too, but it is about as atypical an Ellena as you could imagine... big pot o' stewed fruit, with honey. And dirty musk. I particularly like that one in winter - there's this "hot dust" aspect in the drydown that I just love; it smells like the first winter day you turn the heat on.
I wore HM Haute Couture, nice citrusy green jasmine thingy. Could have happily worn Vamp a NY, but didn't.
Hello, Muse! I have yet to wear Rumba but sure like your description - it does feel like a winter scent (love the 'first winter day you turn on the heat' comment).
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting - take care!
Hello Josephine! I have a big old bottle of Rumba. Would you like a decant? I don't have much for supplies right now, but if you wanted to send me a bottle to decant into, I wouldn't mind sharing! It's a plummy, beeswaxy, outrageous scent. I wear it in the summer too, but LIGHTLY. I should actually grab a few roll-on bottles to decant in, for it and my Aqaba, which is much too strong when I spray it.
ReplyDeleteHi Prosetry! Thanks for the Rumba offer, but I also have a fairly big bottle - just haven't worn it out of my house yet.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of a roll-on bottle. Perhaps I'll try that. Aqaba is lovely, too.
Thanks for visiting!
