In some sick way, I don't mind his ego :) I guess because I am a fragrance nutjob! ROFL, he might be the King of the World, though.

In fact, when I have insomnia, instead of counting sheep, I count the 100 fragrances that would fill the small perfume cabinet, refridgerated (sp?), of course! This does not cure insomnia, warning! It makes one get up, turn on the computer and research NOSES on your blog, or makes me write on one of mine. I have since gone back to counting sheep. Just as an aside, I have been talking to someone from Malle in Paris as I am out of Musc Ravageur and I am quite insane about this, and the nice woman invited me to say hello to Maurice Roucel when I am in New York. Now is this heaven or what? Now I really have to go count boring sheep! Ok, this is my dream to have one.

(I have the Dabbler business card from the videographers.) He is a knowledgeable man with great connections in the world of perfumerie. His concept is original and he can't understand why no one has thought of it before. The resulting perfumes are very very good, I just wish the bottles were more interesting. I suppose one could decant them into something more girly, and if they were in individually designed bottles, it would just drive up the price.

Unfortunately, that means I have no room for anything else except a bottle of hot sauce!! I'm going to keep my own little mental chart in mind from now on whenever I sample a new fragrance. It's funny; now that I think about it and look at this one, I see my own favourites all over the place -- some comfortably in the middle of the fresh/ transparent and dry quadrant (Prada Infusion d'Hiris, anyone?) and some way over to the sweet and warm/dense side of things (Organza Indecence, perhaps?). This will be a source of fascination and enlightenment for some time, I can just tell. Thanks, Robin, for finding this for us! P.S. I am positive that Fred was doing his thing at the Vancouver Holt Renfrew store. The set-up is identical: too precisely-like to be anywhere else. I just use the kitchen fridge.

I just don't know how much the other Barneys counters look just like that. It could easily be Barneys in NY — it looks the same.
