Description
The Mink Stole: There were remnants of a glamorous life everywhere, but none held the fragrant memories like the mink stole. It was soft as a dream, and endlessly sensuous… It carried the scent of men, of women, and of course, the furry creature whose first ‘suit’ it was. Subtle tones of face powder, starch from freshly laundered shirts, subtle bits of perspiration, hints of Turkish cigarettes, and the rush of stolen kisses: it was all there to be taken in. When worn, the mink stole held a fascination that transcended words and gave us flickering glimpses of elegance, of love, and of luxury.
Here is another installment in “my menagerie”; this time inspired by fur as a garment, with some emphasis on the wearer… well, an imaginary wearer. Like out of a dream or a distant memory, this retro-nouveau design is the glamorous mink stole with silk also caressing the skin beneath, and the ever so faint aroma(s) of the people wearing it. It’s a study in the most glossy smooth fur and the sensation of wearing and feeling it.

A complex rose perfume. Champaca and sandalwood are in the forefront with the rose, while the leather and animal notes are present, but tame. Although there is a fruity aspect to the perfume, it is not gourmand-it’s more fresh and sharp than stewed and pruned. I could wear L’etole to the office, but I would much prefer to wear L’etole to a place where I could, from time to time, sniff my wrist to enjoy this perfume at my leisure. L’etole is a beautiful perfume, with a dose of sass thrown in.

Very long lasting scent of oily rose that has bewitching animalic depth. It smells of ancient rose oil and history. Perfect for rainy, cold night

This is glorious. I am flying through my 5ML. And I will be upgrading to a full bottle. A must sniff for animalic lovers and rose haters.
