Day 117 - Snakey

Grabbing a quick apres-work drink at the usual (Self Preservation) are these luscious Jimmy Choo black slingbacks with snakeskin and gold buckle trim.  They are worn with the most heavenly new fragrance from Frapin, 1697.  Kittie's fellow imbibers, unprompted, noted the beautiful scent at approximately 6pm - it was sprayed nearly 12 hours before, yet is remarkably unobtrusive.  Like other Frapin fragrances, it is inspired in some way by the scent of cognac (the other family business).  The name represents a significant year in the marque's history.  This latest is the creation of one of Kittie's favourite perfumers, Bertrand Duchaufour.  Bravo!

  1. Hmm, a little Hine behind the ear might work.

  2. I'll try that. If I can find some Hine. But I doubt it has the sillage of M Duchafour's sublime creation.

  3. I wonder how it is that I never went to your favorite watering hole.

  4. We couldn't do everything. Clearly a sign you need to return!
