I came here via India Knight and am delighted that I did — this is an utter TREAT of a read. Luscious prose with a side of saucy and I wore Gardenia Passion for years and still love it and Parfumum Roma makes a heady white floral called Sabbia Bianca that is a foxier version — very 1940s dame. ❤️‍🔥 Thank you! 🔆

Lovely! Some beautiful writing about scents are 2 novels by contemporary French novelist Antoine Laurain: The Red Notebook and The President’s Hat. Easy and delicious reads.
