Angelique

Tomorrow is the night of the Fragrance Foundation Awards, and what better opportunity to post about one of this years' finalists: Angelique, by Papillon Artisan Perfumes. Liz Moores is not only a great perfumer, but also a really wonderful woman and I'll keep all my fingers crossed for her tomorrow. Given that she managed to get all her three creations in the final round, it would be a small miracle not to see her on the stage. Go, Liz!


My visualisation for Angelique, by Papillon Artisan Perfumes

Angelique is a sparkling, melancholic and luxurious iris. It is both elegant and modern, timeless would be the best description. What I enjoy most is the really sheer beginning, where everything is in place but waiting to play its part. It never overpowers, and more importantly, never overpowders neither, as it can happen with irises sometimes. Incredibly feminine, this is a satiny glowing ripple on slightly powdered skin. 
Absolutely beautiful and a must have if you love your iris. 


How and where to wear:

Iris and early evenings belong together. 
A cocktail dress and a cocktail glass will do nicely

  1. Yes, with all three nominated it would be mad for Liz not to win. Keeping my fingers crossed too!

    1. Hi Ann, Thank you very much, it's always great to get feedback for the images, whether it's good or bad, and good is obviuosly better :)

  3. 'Overpowders' - love it! What a perfect tribute to Liz's shimmying scent. 'Women in White', she and her daughters did a fair bit of resplendent shimmying as well at the ceremony, but awardwise it was sadly not to be.

    1. Hi Vanessa, I was gutted when I read about the Fifis. But you're right, Liz and her daughters looked like fairy tale royalty.
