ctory vacation is just beginning the mid notes are of roses warmed in the late afternoon sun you know that scent of roses in summer natures spike of glamour to the season the rose is gorgeous and this is in turn wrapped in light subtle wafts of jasmine all lifted by a sea breeze accord that whispers come with me to where the nereids sing their siren song as they have for the ages the dry down is a sunset over the waves of what remains of the myrtle flowers and citrus a piney and resin rich mastic adds depth to a green juniper these notes combine with a dry cedarwood and add a warm glow to the final touch of golden honey like amber it is a roman tale of the sea gods and mortals meeting on this beautiful island where time is forgotten and something magical could happen on a warm sleepy afternoon a scent that you can nap in under a bright yellow umbrella a perfect vacation scent that works extremely well for everyone i can t imagine it not being a summertime favorite day or night it is the kind of scent that will carry you though the day it has a depth that defies the usual warm weather fragrances and last about eight hours on my skin this is one of the fragrances that i find i

comments a glittering ribbon of celluloid you or someone like you fragrance review when the light hits just right at sunset hollywood boulevard looks like a 70mm strip of celluloid unspooling with memories of the golden age of the movies as dawn breaks in the high bleak valley between the distant eastern peaks of mt san jacinto and san gorgonio the rays of the sun race westward toward the pacific about seventeen miles before the sea the morning sun slams into the ivory top of the deco step pyramid that caps los angeles city hall in its faded splendor at first light the old building that cradled that famous last shot in mildred pierce eclipses the modern manhattanized towers that surround it by noon when the summer sun is baking the city from boyle heights to santa monica beach the city of dreams is more alive more exciting more dangerous than any femme fatale that every walked the pages of a raymond chandler novel los angeles is a city of hidden treasures a city that only shares its veiled beauty to those who take the time to look past her endless prairie of post war tract houses the very prairie which at midnight from the top of mulholland drive becomes a jewel box of lights more spectacular today than they were when james mason told judy garland that all of the city below was hers when her star was born it is the city where i was born under the shadow of the walls of m g m the city that gave me my first taste of life in the false lush simi tropical green that would be gone in one summer were it not for the water it syphons from the north the los angeles of my infancy the major exports were airplanes oranges and movies as a child my grandmother would take me to clifton s cafeteria in downtown l a and there in a fake redwood forest i would eat strawberry jell o with wiped cream wrapped in a day dream of johnny weissmuller swinging through the trees there were trips to the alligator farm in buena park to the huntington gardens the l a county museum and the la brea tar pits which have bubbled there for hundreds of thousands of years who knows how many saber tooth tigers lay entombed in its sticky goo then most wonderful of all were the high walled movie studios full of secrets and the old movie palaces that lined hollywood boulevard filled with escape every friday night and saturday afternoon i would go to the movies they were my textbook of life they taught me all about history religion and love hollywood style everything a kid in l a needed or wanted to know to me andrew jackson was charlton heston david and bathsheba were gregory peck and susan hayward marylin monroe was cotton candy and lipstick glamour yet somehow sad around the edges and elizabeth taylor well she was not only the queen of egypt but queen of everything in the forecourt of grauman s chinese theater i would wander among the hands and footprints of my personal gods and goddesses at ten my hands fit into shirley temple s hand prints by twenty they fit perfectly with clark gable as i grew older and began to explore los angeles on my own i began to put my movie star fueled ideas of the world into perspective without losing the dreams this is when i began to realize that the spanish words and world that los angles grew out of were so very important to the fabric of the city a major part of what made it so magical real history then there was the architecture i began to see the beauty of the unique way in which los angles embraces the architecture of the world the revelation was clear all of los angles is one mega backlot you can find the walls of babylon at the old firestone tire company in beverly hills italian villas snuggle up next to elizabethan country homes the japanese gardens in san marino hong kong re imagined in chinatown butts up next to the glorious spanish revival cathedral that is union station all at once in one epic sprawl all of it is tacky beautiful insane and wonderful knit together with freeways and festooned with imported royal palms a city like no other on earth the city where the past is tomorrow i have not lived in los angeles for a very long time i miss it often and sometimes i will pop an old movie into my dvr that will take me back to different times in its history from the 1920 s to today some of the images i see of the city tug at my heart and whisper to me come home the dream is still here that opening shot in strangers when we meet in particular reminds me of my childhood but something is always missing in my movie visit to los angeles the smell of the place in summer it was the most unlikely mix of smells that could make up a memory but it is none the less one of the strongest and dearest memories i have of the place in the summer the scent covers the city in a loving embrace the smell of honeysuckle and jasmine white flowers and max factor red roses caresses by the hint of a santa ana wind from the north burning eucalyptus leaves and sharp italian cedar wet freshly mown grass and everywhere the smell of entire orange trees from the blossoms to the waxy leaves this is complemented by the slight burning of carbon monoxide and dangles in the smog and the clear clean nearly antiseptic sent of chlorine from a million swimming pools it is the smell that takes me home the new fragrance by etat libre d orange was inspired by a novel by chandler burr and in fact shares the name of the book you or someone like you the fragrance came into being when etienne de swardt founder of etat libre d orange read the novel and called chandler burr to ask if he could make a perfume based on the book he had so loved he wanted to base the perfume on the setting los angles and the narrator anne rosenbaum wife of a powerful hollywood film executive the story revolves around her resulting transformation when she is asked to create a reading list for the head of a studio that leads to an unexpected interest from screenwriters agents and producers around town a hollywood book club is formed where anne blooms in the process then when a religious crisis in her husband s life occurs when their son journeys to israel anne is challenged to save her marriage chandler burr for chandler burr who not only wrote the novel but was also the new york times fragrance critic and author of the perfect scent and the emperor of scent this was both a challenge and very exciting over the course of the creation of the scent it became tremendous learning experience for him the experience was so profound he has noted that he feels that he should have made a fragrance before becoming the critic for the new york times for the creation of the scent chandler as creative director for the eau de parfum teamed up with perfumer caroline sabas and together they came up with you or someone like you for me this is an extremely emotional fragrance moving and nostalgic chandler burr says it is not los angeles stuffed in a bottle but to me it is like coming home to my long abandoned home town it carries all and more that i wrote about above in the memories and feelings this fragrance brought up for me it inspires me to dream of spring and summer in the city of angles a spring that comes in february and a summer that ends in november it is a uni sex fragrance that carries in it the dna of classic citrus colognes of the past yet like the city of los angeles it is layered with facades of modernity over a historical base there is in you or someone like you elements of the sage brush of this hollywood hills baking in the heat of tropical flowers and swimming pools high above the exhaust clouds of the 405 freeway peeling eucalyptus bark and dyeing orange blossoms and the wonderful scent of night blooming jasmine all it comes together in you or someone like you in a bright opening it carries and holds for me this feeling this l a sensation all the way through the fragrance to the end yet it does evolve as it goes along from the morning of the fragrance all the way through to the evening and finally into a magic hour drydown it swirls rises and falls in intensity only to rise again on my skin i found this aspect of the fragrance to be delightful for those to whom such things matter about a fragrance it projects at about six inches the sillage is soft the longevity is substantial being that is an eau de parfum over an eau de toilette it lasted on my skin nearly to eighteen hours and even then the next morning there were faint traces of it it wears best for most in spring and summer but i m sure that i shall be visiting you or someone like you in fall and winter for a brief trip to my past to the land of the lotus eaters the place where dreams are manufactured and hollywood boulevard at sunset looks like a glittering ribbon of celluloid chandler

comments the man in the silver bentley bentley for men intense ivory white in the moonlight the poplar trees in their winter nakedness seemed to be leaning in over the road that lead away from town reaching their arms overhead to hide the moon from view of anyone under their cover the effect was that of theatrical branch shadows cast down upon a platinum ribbon of concrete edward henry porter the forth pressed his foot down hard on the accelerator pushing the british engine into a well tuned purr the headlights of the 1959 silver bentley continental s1 reach though the night all the way to the curve looming ahead next to the entrance of the long abandoned newport estate known as wicker hill as the car took the tight curve at 47 and a half miles per hour the tires screamed the high beams flashed across the old lion gate that blocked the drive up to wicker hill edward laughed contemptuously as he pushed the peddle to the floor heading for 80 the leather seat next to him still smelled of sage benton of the newport benton s that smell precisely being of her crushed geranium corsage and spilt rum from the flask in her mark cross purse to edward in fact it reeked of her silly spoiled entitled bryn mar bitchiness which when pressed she insisted was merely being cute she was drunk more times than not and only then would she show just how rotten money had made her tonight was the capper she had mocked a busy boy and called him a dirty mick to his face from the center of the dance floor where she was doing a sloppy rhumba with carl everett another example of monied inanity incensed by her outburst edward left the dinner dance with her stumbling and calling after him in the car she opened her flask to take another drink what s the matter eddie honey aren t you having a good time edward snatched the flask away spilling most of the liquor on the leather car seat and the rest on her ceil chapman evening gown eddie my dress you ve ruined it daddy is going to kill you get out of the car he said just loud enough for her to hear what get the hell out of my car he was through with her with the country club with harvard law and most of all with his parents mansion on belleview avenue he couldn t stand any of it of the privileged life that had always seemed somehow wrong but everyone told him was so right so them so him when he reached the new england turnpike he turned the bentley south toward new york by dawn he was driving over the george washington bridge into new jersey once he reached new york he realized it was much too close to newport where he was going had to be somewhere far away where he could be free write like he always wanted to someplace where people did something with their lives where there was a different beat the clip of the tires on the concrete seams of the road seemed to match the beat of his heart the beat the west the beat the west a week later edward sat in a sunny window of vesuvio cafe on columbus street he had found a job as a door man at the hungry i as good a place as any in san francisco to begin an alive life he was finally going places the kind of places with the kind of people he belonged to the beat was in his soul the only thing he had left of his past was the 1959 silver bentley continental s1 he would have to sell it soon not that he wanted to but for the first time in his life he needed the money bentley for men intense was created as a flanker to bentley for men in 2013 by perfumer nathalie lorson for the prestigious british car company bentley lorson is a prolific nose who has a massive number of perfumes in her credits she has designed for everyone from lalique encre noire to yves saint laurent black opium in fact she is the nose behind every fragrance in the line for bentley nathalie lorson so i was intrigued to try a fragrance from this house to see how it stacks up against some of her other fragrances and against other automobile perfumes such as jaguar and ferrari porsche is out of the running as i have not yet tested it i must say i am pleasantly surprised in some ways and not so ...
