mother nature is a man and other observations..

I am always looking for the elusive wonderful perfect scent. I remember fondly Faberge Straw Hat, long since discontinued.  Lovely, lilting, lasting scents bring back many memories of the hunt. My husband and I were at the theatre over 30 years ago, and a woman walked by.  I  stood in back of her taking the scent in. I had to find out what it was. The line was moving, and needed to make my move, so quietly I asked “if I may, what is the perfume you are wearing.” She turned around and very sweetly said, Tuberose by Mary Chess and it’s so inexpensive. A large bottle for $7.50″..Of course it became my favorite  until that too was discontinued….and the elegant beautiful woman who gave me the information……Gloria Vanderbilt.
