Thank you Elise, the feeling is mutual! I often think about your pearls of wisdom on those palatial sofas in Grunewald. Xx

I’ve also been going on a nostalgia tour of past fragrances (and I’m also about to turn 40!) - what a trip! Thank you for this essay.

Picked up Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, CK One, and Gucci Rush. Tempted by Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue because 12 yr old me thought she had it all figured out.

Omg, CK1, so iconic, why did they even make a minimal scent after that, it's the fullstop of all clean perfumes ever.
