If you spent time around me between September 2019 and February 2020 (life before lockdown!), there’s a good chance you caught a whiff of Régime des Fleurs’ Chloe Sevigny Little Flower. It was my most-worn fragrance over those months, not to mention my most-complimented.

Greetings — and much gratitude to everyone who attended my live lecture with the Brooklyn Brainery on April 30! It my first online presentation and I felt so happy to be able to talk about perfume and connect with a few of you.
I’m still wearing some office-inappropriate fragrances during my work-from-home time, including these picks from last week…

Hello, out there…!
The past week had some ups and downs. One high point: I offered an online talk via the Brooklyn Brainery and spotted a few of you there! But I’ve had some slightly gloomy days as well, especially when it was raining and I couldn’t go out for fresh air.
Not coincidentally, I found myself choosing perfumes that were familiar and very “me.” Here are some of them…

Greetings! As we head into Week Six of isolation (or shelter-in-place, or lockdown — I still can’t remember what our official status is), I’m managing to work out a new routine. Every day I work remotely from about 10 AM to 6 PM, with a break for lunch and some shorter pauses for coffee and chats with the cats.
Sometimes I put on a dress and jewelry and do all my makeup. Sometimes I’m attired a little more…casually. The one constant is still that I’m always wearing perfume. Here’s a sampling of last week’s choices…

Last Friday I realized that one month has passed since my workplace closed. It seems much longer…or not that long at all. Time is all askew.
I found myself craving comfort scents last week, rather than big dramatic roses. Here are a few of the perfumes I sprayed while staying home…

It’s April…and there isn’t much news to share, other than that my household is staying safe and sound. I hope yours is, too.
And I’m continuing my project of indulging in fragrances that I’d never wear to the office. This is a silver lining of “working from home”…
