Bowie and Iman in 1990 (Photo by Ron Galella)
To say that I’ve spent most of 2018 (to date) immersed in all things David Bowie would be an understatement.
That situation is about to change, but I can’t help writing one post here about Iman, the model and entrepreneur who was his wife from 1992 until his death in 2016. I could spend all day looking at photos of them together, but I’ll try to keep this post short and sweet and scent-related.

WHY: Because winter can give us cabin fever and make us crave new sights (or smells).
WHAT: An unused “discovery set” of GALLIVANT fragrance samples that I’d like to pass along to a reader in the United States. It includes Brooklyn, Tel Aviv, London, and Istanbul.

This week marks the lunar New Year, and in the Chinese calendar, it’s the Year of the Dog. What better time, I thought, to remind you that Oh My Dog! fragrance still exists?
Oh My Dog! was launched by the Paris-based brand Dog Generation in 2000 and, yes, it’s a perfume for dogs. It was “tested under the supervision of veterinarians and dermatologists” and it’s described as “unisex.”

I started watching NBC’s “The Good Place” while I was housebound with my broken ankle in November, and I’m still hooked. It’s one of the silliest and smartest shows on TV right now.
Here’s a moment that gave me a laugh (among many laughs throughout the episode).

“My mind is filled with thoughts of you
I think about the days of two
I search the room but you’re not there
Your perfume lingers everywhere
But it’s
Only a memory”

“Don’t hide from me, baby
Shame on you
Incognito, baby, you’re so crude
I don’t mind, take my hand
Baby, I wanna be your mystery man
Yeah, you got ruby lipstick
Rose petal rouge
And dime store jewelry
Cheap perfume
I don’t mind, take my hand
Honey, I wanna be your mystery man”
Lyrics by Tom Petty (1950-2017)
