I’ve heard so much about Mandy Aftel and Aftelier perfumes, all of it was in the form of adulation. I’m convinced, and I’m hoping if not now, sometime to score a bottle of wild roses. Its just a bit expensive for me to act on this immediately. In the interest of trying to name a perfume not already commented on I have to say the silver flask of Shiso sounds elegant and refined though honestly I am not familiar with shiso leaf. But something about the word shiso and the form of the flask work beautifully together.

Hi Portia,
Since the Ancient Resins Body Oil and Hair Elixir (so very Leonard Cohen) has already been mentioned, I’ll select from the Chef’s Essences. I’ve read some great foodie reviews of them and am particularly interested in the Cepes, described as earthy, wet moss, intense, delicious. I’m thinking it might be a simple way to add a touch of umami.
