Le Baiser

Le Baiser I remember well, buying it in 1999 and henceforth, the perfume. (I even saw, just now, in the Fragram Section, the Perfume Vaporisateur which I must still have somewhere.) (not in the habit of keeping the empty bottles, I have been known to unceremoniously open the Pedal-Bin and let the empty flacon fall from high, with a clung'.) (the more expensive the higher.) here it must have been the Rose & Gardenia which always fly off with great speed in my nostrils. I also remember where I bought this (available at sparingly dispersed sales points) Edp & perfume. they also contradefined the 1990s (for me) as the decade of Fresh, Watery, Airy, Ocean, Sportif (as ever there was any anathema to my perfume taste it is this denominator), Calone and Hedione perfumes. well it WAS the decade of that. yet Chanel Allure (1999), Donna Karan by Donna Karan (1992), Boudoir (1998), Mahora (2000), Gale Hayman Beverly Hills (1990), Amarige (1991), Volupté (1992) etcetera counterintuitively made the 1990s a more varied Platform. yet this perfume was at once of Stalled Drama and wonderful Elegance. of course solely by these Hyper Flowers already it lended a Chic Headiness and Opulence. it was concipiated with a purely French Esthetics. Lalique of course needs no Introduction. and while they sold, in that particular perfumery in Delft, Holland, also Lipsticks from Kanebo (which were from $ 70 to now, $ 50, a Steal ! I also scoured the rest of the Assortment for other fineries. I esteemed this perfume as super refined and at the same time, as a High-End Call Girl would wear her, just in the right niche of tacky and risquée. Jasmine, Cassis (always a hit with Rose), Violet, Pepper, and while there was Amber it hinted at Chypre as well. it embodied a Musky and refinedly Woody signature as well. this whole perfume Experience I can vividly remember as having added Luck and Bliss to the times as they were rolling.
