Je Riviens by Worth
As far as my nose
and associated olfactory nerves are concerned
There is no finer smell on earth
than Je Riviens by Worth
And did she ever wear it well
The merest drop dabbed lightly on those pulse points
and evenly rubbed in
Drawn from an insignificant blue glass bottle
Sheathed in a leather pouch
No doubt Scent from heaven
But created by Maurice Blanchet in 1932

A fine write N. It's some cheap scent from the Pound Shop for me. As in a comedy prog - 'This smells like ferret pee' Ooh lol. Woof - started Fido off now! yet we do associate smells (and pongs?) with certain people and/or places.
yes we do indeed thanks
A sense of smell can take us back in an instant - - memory of scent calls as nothing else can. Ah - past love wrapped in perfume and beautifully written on your canvas today Nev. x
Bless you my friend and true... you are absolutely right.. and between you and me.. I have one of those little blue bottles and it is still just under half full.. and every now and again........ x
I think I'll go and buy a bottle - err not for me of course. Another original and engaging write.
Thank you Michael, always appreciated sir....Neville
Sounds a bit like 'Je ne regrette rien', yes? Or maybe not? And what am I not regretting?! I'm waffling now. Any excuse for a song!
No regrets necessary .. just dab a little behind an ear and hum..
It is indeed odd how a scent on one lady can differ from the same scent on another, intoxication though both may be.
Methinks this olfactory sensation stimulates parts other scents cannot reach..... and there is an untold madonna present.
I think it just goes to show how very different we each are... thanks for taking part in this bit of research...
Smells are the most significant senses to bring back memories. May that smell remind you of heaven.
it is certainly very special.. to me at least.. thank you sir... N
You regretting anything………..??
