grasse, france

i took an amazing parfum making class at galimard in grasse, france. it was a dream come true, as one of my dream jobs is to be a “nose.”  SO many SMELLS !

this is the parfum i designed at GALIMARD yesterday. it contains 17 scents ! it was an amazing experience and the perfect way to remember this 2013 phase in the south of france. i named it “être” . . . which means “be.”

for those of you who don’t really know me, my DREAM JOB (other than being a puppy petter) is to be a NOSE. i have a very acute sense of smell, which can be a good trait AND a bad trait . . . but i digress. so, yesterday i went to Grasse, France to take a PARFUM making class ! what an amazing day. i was in my element. i don’t wear parfum because i’ve never found one that i truly loved. after the parfum i made yesterday “marinates” for 15 days, i’ll be curious to see if it’s a smell i can actually live with. they keep your formula on record so i can always get more, and they will even make it into a shower gel, soap, lotion, . . . if you’re ever near grasse, i HIGHLY recommend a visit to GALIMARD. you won’t regret it and you’ll walk away smelling like a rose.
