#Memo perfumes full
I don’t know what their regular customers are like but they got to experience the full wattage of a generous and highly amusing perfumista soul. Suffice it to say we smelled a lot of stuff (most of which I’ll talk about next week) but one of the highlights was watching Portia interact with the SAs from various houses. Met up outside Harrods (see pic – I hate most pics of myself, but Portia looks so fetching), hugs all around, and off to the serious business of the Fragrance Hall.
I mean, of course this would centre around perfume. We decided over the interweb to do Harrods and Harvey Nicks as they both have very decent perfume offerings. And whatever other city activities are planned.Īnyway. I love day trips to London - the whole ritual of train up and back, plus minor shopping at Paddington Station before back on the train home, and recently rides on the new Elizabeth Line. I haven’t done a lot since covid that hasn’t included people I don’t know well, so this was a bit of a leap of faith. I’ve done meetups in the past with perfumistas I’ve only known over the net, one of which included a visit to Ormond Jayne’s tiny shop near Bond Street and a chocolate fondue at Fortnum & Mason. So, what wasn’t banal in the week? you might ask.Ī few months ago, I got an email from Portia – yes, our Portia: “I’m going to be in London in a bit and have X and Y free.
Plus, car needed to go for its tax appointment (which entails drive there, bus back, return to garage by bus, and then, finally, home with approved car). Starting with the more banal … well, work – and when work calls, it calls.
