ose skip to content home about contact perfume reviews perfume events thoughts travels beauty reviews older posts by tara october 10 2022 8 00 am perfume lovers london is back an evening exploring eris parfums with founder creative director barbara herman first of all apologies for radio silence like many other bloggers who started out around ten years ago my perfume and blogging fervor has waned significantly in recent times a large part of that is no doubt down to the passage of time but the pandemic certainly played a part in my case at this point i can t imagine going back to regular blogging but i am keeping the blog live so the old posts aren t lost and in case our beloved val ever wishes to write again all the same i m very happy to hear that perfume lovers london is returning after being on hiatus since covid it is being organised and hosted by lovely former member brooke who has sent me all the details below barbara herman founder and creative director of new york based niche perfume brand eris parfums will be flying over to meet with the group on friday 28th october at the october gallery in bloomsbury she ll be sharing the stories and exploring the ingredients that comprise eris s seven fragrances all composed by master perfumer antoine lie everyone who attends will be able to experience natural ambergris hyraceum seaweed tuberose and more alongside each of the finished scents barbara started out as a blogger for yesterday s perfume 2008 2012 writing her impressions of the vintage fragrances that she started collecting in 2008 this exploration turned into a book scent and subversion decoding a century of provocative perfume which looked at the cultural political and aesthetic history of 20th century perfume with an original focus on its queer subversive nature and how it upended conventions around gender gentility and even our sense of smell as the lowest in the hierarchy of the senses barbara s talk will begin at 7pm in the october gallery s club room tickets cost 25 which can be used towards an eris fragrance on the night of the event copies of scent and subversion and eris discovery sets will also be available for purchase you can book a ticket here it would be good to catch up in the comments let me know how things are with you 24 comments filed under perfume events by australianperfumejunkies october 3 2022 11 55 pm serenity scent

do love the smell of the standard tea lights is that hyphenated i always have one burning in the bog it s lovely to go into amazing how much warmth and smell one candle can give off the whole loo is so gemütlich inviting a wordle session pretty similar in a church but of course much more intense the larger number of candles heating and expanding the air above them as they flicker and glow it would appear that albrighton had 11 relatives all of whom have turned their toes up and he lit 11 candles in antwerp for them i don t think they all died in antwerp though i mean that would be a bit odd unless they al fought in the siege of antwerp or the battle of the scheldt i dunno a classical white orchid bouquet spiked with pink pepper melts into a bed of dense creamy candlewax beschreiben von parfüm muss man lieben i am sure he missed out jasmine basically it s a very appealing creamy waxy white floral it stays on the skin perhaps longer than his other fragrances but that is not a negative thing it s gorgeous on your clothing the next day i must say very lutensian in smell with a name that serge himself might well have come up with does it smell of candlewax yes would we have known that had candles not been mentioned in the name probably not does it matter no val 19 comments filed under perfume reviews by australianperfumejunkies june 6 2022 12 00 am vivacious scent

scent scent semantics shopping style tubereuse couture 17 vivacious by tara may 18 2022 8 00 am reading diary since december i ve been on a self development spirituality audiobook kick which shows no immediate signs of abating therefore my fiction reading has slowed down but here are the books that i have got to the galaxy and the ground within wayfarers 4 by becky chambers she definitely looked to be the sort who would love a good exclamation point or twelve i ve loved this sci fi series so much i was a bit apprehensive about how it would be concluded i had hoped it would circle back to the characters in the first book but instead once again we have a new cast except for one and this time they are all aliens i say aliens really they all talk and act in such human ways it doesn t feel like reading about beings from other planets the plot is that three spaceships are grounded at a kind of planetary rest stop when the satellite system goes down the pilots are three different species and their host and her young child do their best to make them all feel welcome while stranded like the other books it s all about the characters and their interactions rather than an action packed storyline prejudices are expressed and overcome and it leaves you feeling uplifted and hopeful i can see how some would find the wayfarers series too woke with its themes about gender and race but i ve loved it 4 25 5 the other bennett sister by janice hadlow there are times when happiness must be fought for if we are to have any chance at all of achieving it if like me you re a fan of pride and prejudice in any of its forms i highly recommend this book it starts off as a kind of retelling of the austen novel but from the perspective of the overlooked middle sister mary in the many versions of the story mary comes across as dull priggish and lacking in self awareness the other bennett shows how she may have become this way with a critical mother a distant father and sisters who eclipsed her in varying ways it was fun to see lizzy and mr darcy enjoying married life and the marriage of mr collins and charlotte lucas up close however it then carries on after the events of pride and prejudice as mary sets out on her own quest to find a place for herself in a society where a single woman without money is in a precarious and piteous position she aims to live only by cold rationality but finds this is challenged as we see mary has feelings that she has tried her hardest to push down the plot is often unlikely and unsurprising in equal measure but it s also a delight the writing is seamlessly in the austen style and mary proves a compelling heroine in her own right 4 25 5 the midnight library by matt haig it s the regret that makes us shrivel and wither and feel like our own and other people s worst enemy hmm i have many thoughts and feelings about this book which has been hugely popular and won best fiction in the goodreads awards last year i gained a lot from haig s memoir about depression reasons to stay alive but this is the first fiction work of his i ve read at the start of the book nora becomes depressed after a series of tough live events eventually becoming suicidal and taking an overdose she finds out the place between life and death is the midnight library where each of the infinite number of books on its shelves represents an alternate life she could have lived had she made minutely different decisions this way she gets to go down various roads not travelled the lives where she was an olympic swimmer a glaciologist an academic a rock star etc to see if there is one she would like to stay in i can see that if you struggle with regret this book could be comforting but i would strongly advise against reading it if you re actually depressed the opening chapters are hard to read if you ve been in that place and really it offers no real solace if you re in that situation you re far better off reading his non fiction such as reasons to stay alive or the comfort book i found it overly simplistic and sentimental as well as boringly predictable i knew exactly how these often daft parallel lives would turn out and how the story would end it was all pretty trite and irritating 2 5 again rachel by marian keyes my personal brand was in recovery but still great fun marian keyes is one of my favourite people for me the world is a better place for having her in it she comes across as warm funny kind and compassionate she is an addict in recovery and knows the depths of prolonged suicidal despair i had a chance to meet her once but chickened out because i felt too emotional at the time a friend lent me a copy of rachel s holiday when it was published in 1997 it was about an addict going to rehab in ireland an experience marian went through herself it s beloved by marian s fans and luke is definitely her best loved lusted male character there was much excitement at the thought that there would be a sequel set two decades later i re read rachel s holiday before i started again rachel it was good to catch up with rachel in her late 40s but obviously everything is not rosy she is dealing with past trauma and life as an addict in long term recovery about half way through i guessed how the rest of the story would unfold but i still hugely enjoyed reading it it was also a lot of fun to re visit the raucous dynamics of the walsh family and to get more luke 4 5 5 ariadne by jennifer saint i would not let a man who knew the value of nothing make me doubt the value of myself i was a narrator in a play about ariadne and the minotaur in middle school so i was particularly drawn to this though i have a love of greek myth re tellings generally this version focuses on ariadne and her sister phaedra princesses of crete who lives are overshadowed by the existence of their minotaur brother living in the labyrinth under the palace everything changes for them when theseus arrives from athens with the other tributes to be fed to the half bull half human this book is sold as gripping and while i thoroughly enjoyed the first half the second half was indeed a real page turner as usual women are the pawns of men and gods in these tales but both ariadne and phaedra endeavour to make the best of their situations and the story is told from both of their perspectives i highly recommend it but especially for fans of circe by madeline miller 5 5 please let me know in the comments if you ve read any of these or if you have any other books to recommend 11 comments filed under book review by
