Flash Poll: What Perfume Are You Wearing?

Simone Kitchens: "Narciso Musc. It's kind of powdery and paper-y, in the best possible way."

Heather Summerville: "CB Perfume To See a Flower. Smells like cut grass and wildflowers, with enough earthiness that it doesn’t fall into the trap of being too sweet. Also, in the dead heat of the subway in summer it doesn’t become grossly overpowering...unlike most people I’m crunched up against."

Me: I just came out of an epic meeting with the French fragrance company Esteban, which means I'm wearing abundant amounts of three perfumes (not a recommended course of action, but each of them separately is pretty amazing): Colere d'épices on my knee (gingery/peppery, unsweet), Tonka Bean in the crook of my left elbow (vanilla-ish, dark, woodsy), and on my right elbow, Fureurs d'Agrumes (like the exuberant love child of an orange tree and a violet. Does that make sense? Clearly I've been sniffing French perfume for too long).
