Today I thought I’d share a story that began via my meeting of a very interesting woman the other day here in the old city of Grasse. Her name is Ann Marie and she is about 72 years old. I met her while having lunch with friends at my favourite…

Today I met one of my neighbours, a friendly elderly lady who was out tending the most beautiful blue hydrangea at the front of our building. I’ve been admiring this plant, and keeping an eye on its progress as it has begun to bloom. Blue hydrangeas are the most incredible…

What a lovely story and beautiful pictures! ( I especially like the one of the small creek). During my two visits to Paris I never took the opportunity to see a bit more of France…wish that I had! How is the formulation for the Eau de Parfum of Reglisse Noire coming along? Stronger concentrations are nice when the weather gets colder here in NY.I have been wearing Reglisse since my little bottle arrived two weeks ago. To me it personifies happiness and I love smelling my wrist throughout the day. (It has also been giving me food cravings..licorice tea, anise flavored Stella Dora cookies,etc 🙂 ). I can’t wait until my four other bottles arrive!

What a beautiful post, Jessica! Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know there was an Eau de Parfum version of Reglisse Noire in the works! I just put the 50ml Eau de Toilette on my Christmas list, but now I may have to revise… 😉

It’s nice to be able to read back to your approximate arrival date back in France. It sounds as if things are moving right along for you which is a well earned outcome!
As always, your photos are beautiful. Your pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary sounds like it was a very sacred time. I’m sure it won’t be long before you have a fragrance commemorating the experience!
All the best!
A Perfumed Pilgrimage
