My Fellow Eves,
Lally inspired me with her sample game and I got carried away decanting this morning.
The result is that I have put together a marvy sample pack decanted from my wardrobe that I have named, "The Many Faces of Eve."
They are, simply, scents that have been named after a particular woman. Eight in all, I list them below:
Jicky by Guerlain
George Sand by MPG
Fifi by Fifi Chachnil
Eau de Camille by Annick Goutal
Coco by Chanel
Jasmin Impeatrice Eugenie by Creed
Anne' Pliska
Madeline by Ava Luxe (okay maybe this one is named for a pastry but it's a woman's name)
The only one of my collection named for a woman I did not include is Mitsouko, not much left of her and I am in hoard mode.
I was tickled by the thought of what inspires a perfumer to name a scent for a woman. (in a few cases it may be narcissicism
)
So I am ready to send this womanly pack out to the first basenoter who can tell me the names of the three main women in Anais Nin's novel "Ladders to Fire."
Here is an excerpt:
"You are almost transparent there, like the mist of the perfume you are throwing on yourself. Throw more perfume on yourself, like a fixative in a water color. Let me have the atomizer. Let me throw perfume all over you so that you won't disappear and fade like a watercolor."
