What's interesting in this treatment of nostalgia is that it doesn't attempt to ape older styles: it's the aura that speaks of bygone glamour, like a whiff of memory.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-79379953496309959362012-10-07T18:36:45.541+02:002012-10-07T18:36:45.541+02:00Lanier, I think that though Volutes and Anima Dulc...Lanier, I think that though Volutes and Anima Dulcis are very different they can definitely appeal to the same person. I've been wearing the latter (alternating with 31 rue Cambon and Séville à l'aube) for my own pleasure on days when I'm not testing, or for evenings out. carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-85814325286716248562012-10-07T18:33:09.459+02:002012-10-07T18:33:09.459+02:00Denyse, you always have the most tempting lists! ...Denyse, you always have the most tempting lists! I love the ones that I have tried, which means I must try the others.<br /><br />Diptyque Volutes EdP is reminding me so much of my mother. Her purse always had cigarettes, a Coty face powder compact and red lipstick, and she always had Johnson's baby powder around; , I wonder if there isn't a touch of that classic musk or something similar in Volutes. Not that Volutes is old-fashioned, but it is inherently nostalgic. I'm curious to try the EdT, as well. ~~nozknozAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-68729533776888658422012-10-07T10:24:24.309+02:002012-10-07T10:24:24.309+02:00I just tested Anima Dulcis today and threw my hat ...I just tested Anima Dulcis today and threw my hat in the air at the wonder of this fragrance. Also I am a huge fan of Volutes and was lucky enough to try it and buy it on it's premiere day at the Diptyque boutique here in San Francisco. <br /> Your list is wonderful... so much to inspire me onward in my exploration.

There is something so beautiful about Mito on these cold, fall days.
