I splurged yesterday when I happened upon an amazing perfumerie in Biarritz. A beautiful shop whose shelves were filled to the top with nothing but exquisite French perfume, all on display in the most feminine and delicately designed glass bottles. I fell particularly in love with the perfumes of Annick Goutal, and decided upon the fragrance Ce Soir ou Jamais. It is an astonishingly beautiful turkish rose fragrance with notes of violet, jasmine, hibiscous and ambrette seed. It's soft, luscious, velvety and basically smells like you've just walked into a dewy rose garden. The lady who was helping me said it was the perfume of Goutal's life and took her over ten years to complete. Love!
