a gem of an article in the vapid world of fashion. the ethos and quality behind byredo are far supreme from its mass produced french house peers. i stumbled across the beautiful shop in stockholm full of mystique and intrigue..the shopkeeper telling me what she uses and what her elderly mother uses. it was such a personal experience. i hope byredo remains a profitable enterprise but one that maintains its secretive, low key cachet.

Loved this interview! I realise this is completely besides the point, but I also Love the bedlinen featured in the pic. Can anyone tell me where I might find something similar?xx

Ben was always a different cat -- good to see him living his dream his way.

The old Aquinas gym where I coached him was demolished last year. I wonder what fragrance would best capture it?

Lovely post! I tend to stick to the same perfume, but this was such an interesting thing to me! How fun to make them souvenirs!

What a great post! I look at perfumes in the same way - they are my souveniers from trips (that and scarves - they are so easy to pack . I buy them on my first day of vacation, then wear just that scent the whole time. When I come home, it's instilled - anytime I wear that perfume in the future, it takes me right back to that trip. Chanel 5 =Mexico; Elizabeth Arden Green Tea (the original) = Las Vegas; Carolina Herrera 212 = Miami. I didn't buy one on my last trip to Vienna and have regretted ever since. I really should have bought that Guerlain in Douglas.

Thank you both Liz (again) and Capitalist Pancake! I'm very excited to check out Barneys this weekend and smell the different recommended fragrances. Lately I have a penchant for clean and fruity scents, which is why I have been drawn to the brand Fresh's parfums. I'm ready to invest in a more sophisticated fragrance and pulp seems to be the solution. Many thanks! Bisous.
