Current Obsession

{ photograph from Now Smell This }

Fragrances my Memoire Liquide:

Encens Liquide ~ “The memory of gently wafting ceremonial incense in Japan, soft smoke trailing its mysterious and sultry veil. Soft Amber Resin, White Musk, Black Tea and enchanting Hinoki Incense.”
Fleur Liquide ~ “The memory of dew soaked flowers at dawn and night blooming flowers just before sunset. Orange Blossom, fresh Mimosa and Night Blooming Jasmine.”
Amour Liquide ~ “The memory of exhilarating romantic love, at once soul soothing and breath taking. Pure Madagascar Vanilla, Tonka Bean and Incense.” <-- This one's my favorite!
Soleil Liquide ~ “The memory of warm sunshine on a dazzling, bright summer day. Fresh Grapefruit, Tangerine, Blood Orange and Neroli Flowers with Santal and White Musk.”
Vacances Liquide ~ “The memory of a vacation on an idyllic tropical beach with warm, white sand and azure waves lapping the shoreline. Tiare Flower, Fresh Coconut Milk and Tahitian Vanilla with Oceanic accords.”

Escape



{ photographs from Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts }

It's almost April and officially Spring. Yet last night we were walking (more like slipping) through a snow/sleet/hail and lightening storm. I think I'll just close my eyes and imagine being at Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts in the Maldives.
