I just returned from Paris a few days ago- it was a short trip but one that was very specifically about perfume. We began at the Palais Royale, where we visited the ‘shrine to perfume’- the Serge Luten boutique. It is an oasis of purple calm, beautifully adorned, dimly lit…

One response to “Paris and Perfume- Part One”

Thanks to a member of basenotes.net, I found your blog. You don’t know how excited I am to find someone like you in the current state of my life. I made my way over to France to learn fragrance design though I am studying French right now in Lyon. I don’t know your full story (I’m in the process of reading every post that you have written), but I would love to hear more about your experience. I’m in a dire need of direction and most importantly a glimmer of hope. PS. I read your observations about the French, and I have the same sentiments as you :). But please make contact: alexetudiant@hotmail.com (alexetudiant AT hotmail.com). Thank you. Thank you. – Alex (Lyon, France)
