Maybe it would have been more evident in French. I think Casanova would have ventured into feminine frags.

Even though I like some musks (the naughtier, the better, my current favorite is Musks Koublai Khan), I still prefer incenses. By the way, have you tried Miller Harris La Fumée already? I think it has your name written all over it:)<br /><br />And onSabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02674538416504868456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-12558359958765318272011-11-30T00:39:51.553+00:002011-11-30T00:39:51.553+00:00Too right, DomPerrier!

Apparently Casanova was a big fan of cologne which was new and therefore all the rage - and the opposite of the musky, civety smells of the older generation.Katie Puckrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12816871787892998256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-68017950541868118372011-11-30T00:36:51.108+00:002011-11-30T00:36:51.108+00:00Out go the musky Patous, and in comes Nahéma &...Out go the musky Patous, and in comes Nahéma & Opium!DPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982303391681945457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-78768465215443180742011-11-29T20:13:44.214+00:002011-11-29T20:13:44.214+00:00yes, incense and rose - two of my top favorites!yes, incense and rose - two of my top favorites!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394558427981331885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-91828547419784925402011-11-29T19:17:34.693+00:002011-11-29T19:17:34.693+00:00Hi Denyse!

Yes, by all means, get the lowdown on Casanova's olfactory observations and activities. You don't get to be the kind of multi-multi-hyphenate he was without throwing open the throttle to every single one of the sensory organs.Katie Puckrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12816871787892998256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-17451578467446825992011-11-29T17:56:28.834+00:002011-11-29T17:56:28.834+00:00Casanova also said that he always loved the smells...Casanova also said that he always loved the smells of the women he loved, the stronger the better!<br />Thanks for nudging me towards a great idea: I'm meeting the authors of the exhibition catalogue in a couple of weeks -- one of them is definitely "one of us", he even won the Jasmin Award for an article on fragrance in literature...
