Love Young Frankenstein (will you kill me if I point out that it's "Ah, sweet *mystery* of life"? Link below) <br />Agree on Boyfriend body butter and am even contemplating using a credit note at Sephora to purchase same; thing is, being Libran, I can't choose. Ever. <br />About that Voile d'Ambre: need more?<br /><br />Vanessa: love hebes but can't grow 'em here: boo hiss! Had several in my Irish garden, one of which was grown from a 'slip' yanked off a wild one on Howth Head by my ex-MIL (who wasn't ex at the time~). Glorious rich, deep purple, it was.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWrCf7rAytc<br />http://www.operanews.com/Opera_News_Magazine/2010/7/Features/Sweet_Mystery.htmlTommasinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-83395054685414996572011-05-05T18:52:59.831-05:002011-05-05T18:52:59.831-05:00I completely get the Voile d'Ambre parallel, w...I completely get the Voile d'Ambre parallel, which in turn reminds me a wee bit of Puredistance 1 in terms of "textural density", for want of a better phrase.<br /><br />And I can confirm that hebes are indeed itchy, which is yet another good reason to get them gone!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-67305226792844056872011-05-05T17:01:57.082-05:002011-05-05T17:01:57.082-05:00It was indeed "Frankencrafting," to cons...It was indeed "Frankencrafting," to construct with the mad scientist twist. Though now that "fecund" has been associated with "Frankencrafting" by proximity, I am going to feel like Madeline Kahn next time I wander into the garden, and oddly compelled to break into song. ("Ah, sweet dream of life, at last I've found you...") Which will seem perhaps odder to me even than to the neighbors. Or the roses.<br /><br />Naw. The roses won't flinch. I talk to 'em already.<br /><br /><br />You've edjumacated me in something today; previously, had we played word association, you would have said "hebe," I would have said "jeebie." As in "x gives me the heebie jeebies." Now I know it as plant life. Of course, I look at those pictures I found online, and get a little itchy. <br /><br />Boyfriend is fine. As it happens, I'm wearing YR Voile d'Ambre right now, and feel an odd association between them--not olfactory, per se, but both are in that category of warm deeper note non-floral wallpaper scent. If that makes sense. <br /><br />Mind you, I don't expect much of anything in this particular post to make sense for any length of time... ;)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-10505374274279150362011-05-05T08:31:05.972-05:002011-05-05T08:31:05.972-05:00"Frankencrafting" - or was it "Fran..."Frankencrafting" - or was it "Frankengrafting" is excellent. I don't get any such feelings of fecund potential when I wander in our garden. Every time I go out I seem to remove another dead stump (two hebes last time - or at least I think they were hebes - they were so very dead it was hard to tell).<br /><br />I am most keen to try Boyfriend, however olfactorially schizoid it may prove to be. Woody vanilla sounds nice to me, and I will bear the body butter in mind...Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.com
