ReplyDeleteI would love to be included in the draw...I also did a ewview Une Rose Chypree last year...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your beautiful comment & following, appreciated, x.
ReplyDeleteAs for scent, it is one of the most delightful human gifts to indulge in. Sign me up for this charmingly boxed set please.
I read your "Rose" scent review, "a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind." Is that quote about Cezanne or by him?
Welcome all three!
ReplyDeleteCarol. I'm digging up your reive and linking it right now. Sorry it got overlooked :-(
Clarity, Yay,new internet friend! I'm checking my book.... be back in a few....
Jessica, I think you'd really like these fragrances. They seem right up your alley!
Ok, link added! And Clarity, I looked and it's Bell himself writing about the process of creating art and the ways in which it is and isn't like the creation of a rose. Where a rose is a result of a multitude of unconscious natural processes (I assume he's ignoring the fact that most roses nowadays are bred to beauty by human botanists) a work of art is at lest partly the result of human thought processes, and must be approached as such. It's well worth reading th book. I love his writing. Jessica, as an art historian, have you ever come across After Cezanne?
ReplyDeletethat sample set is so cool, but don't add me as I already have samples (or more) of most of his scents.
ReplyDeleteSign me up please!
ReplyDeleteOOOHHH!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow this is a giveaway!
Please sign me up too =)
Can't resist putting my name in for this! How lovely.
ReplyDeleteOooooooooo woman you know I want to be in this :)
ReplyDeletePlease enter me and please let me know when you receive your package of lovies<3 Take care boo!
I would love to sign up for a chance to win the Andy Tauer sample set. I found this blog when you left a comment on mine! I'll keep checking it out and post a link to it.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it was going to be about gardening!
Yeah I know, it does sound like gardening, but I thought it was an appropriate name because a fragrance is a sort of imaginary garden, a walled garden of sorts....
ReplyDeleteYay, thanks for the link and for following. I admire your blog!
Welcome to the drawing, Doc Elly, Nina, Tamara, Stephanie, and Mama G!
throw me in the heap! love, mck
ReplyDeleteI would love to be in for the sample set. Have and love Orange Star, and can't wait to try the rest of his fragrances. Thanks for some great posts.
ReplyDeleteOooh, count me in most definitely! L'Air du Desert Marocain is divine, but I haven't yet delved into the full Tauer line.... wait. That rhymed. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome, McKenzie (congrats, my dear, on your marriage) Pklagrange, and Olenska! I love both Orange star and L'Air du Desert Marocain!I hope you all get a chance to try more even Tauer stuff; I really think he's pretty brilliant...
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the draw! I really admire Andy's work. Also enjoyed reading your recent posts.
ReplyDeletea:)
welcome AnnYM, and thanks for the kind comments.
ReplyDeleteseems like the man has a thing for morocco, no? if i win i can't wait to see how much i think this really smells like the morocco i know.
ReplyDeletei have to admit that i have not come across after cezanne (and had to look it up, even!). but i also see that it is on the internet full text for free, so perhaps it will make a nice distraction from studying arabic. ;)
I don't know what I like more - the package or what is inside. Just like you, I love receiving packages by mail. It is the most precious thing in a day :) :) Unfortunately, more and more I get bills instead of letters hahah.
ReplyDeleteI read a lot about Andy (never tried his perfumes) and he gives me inspiration because he is self-thought perfumer - and I hope to be one:)
Love what I have tried of his fragrances, but would like to try more. Please enter me in the draw. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, woodgirl!
ReplyDeleteBellatrix, I know, it's such a dear little package, isn't it? Andy is very rad--I think he's a great perfumer besides-- and, in my correspondence with him, has been very sweet!
Jessica, so glad to offer you further distraction from your studies! HE does seem to like morroco, as does Serge Lutens, nd many more---wait, I'm just gonna write up what I'm about to say in a post for the day after tomorrow!
I would love to enter, I am checking out this blog regularly now :)
ReplyDeleteSO glad to hear it, orchidfae! I love new blogworld friends!

L'Air du Desert Morocan and Une Rose Chypre are two Tauer scents I love. Orange Star makes me think of well-kept public bathrooms. Still, I'd be interested in the complete sample set. Please sign me up for the giveaway.
ReplyDeletePlease sign me up! I attended the 2008 Sniffapalooza in NYC and a set of Tauer samples was given away there. Tried to will them my way, but it didn't turn out (however, I scored a ton of other wonderful items). Maybe this time!
ReplyDeleteOpps, just noticed you already had the drawing. Must pay closer attention!
ReplyDeleteHI Josephine! The drawing is still on! You're in!
ReplyDeletePrincess glee, consider yourself entered in the draw. Sorry Orange Star didn't do it for you!

ReplyDeleteWelcome, Melauriga and Sean!
ReplyDeleteHello:) I found your blog through the link at Andy Tauer's site. Please enter me in the draw too:)
ReplyDeleteA read some of your reviews on Andy's perfumes and I wait impatiently for L'air du desert marocain review. I love it...
Hi Ania, and welcome! I am looking forward to reviewing it as well. Sorry it's taking m so long to get through the portfolio. I find I need to think about these for a while before writing about them.....
ReplyDeleteI'm not good at 'detecting' separate notes in perfumes and describing it. Maybe this is why I love to read reviews of Other People and compare their feelings about the smell with my own. The more I read Your blog the more I like the way You describe scents. I didn't mean to hurry You up or something... :) I'm just very curious about Your perception of my beloved one.
ReplyDeleteOh, don't worry, I don't feel hurried! ;-) I am pleased that you like my reviews! Yours, LBV
ReplyDeleteLove reading your blog, sign me up. Thank You
ReplyDeleteThanks Earthly Reality--I've enjoyed yours as well! You're in.
ReplyDeleteI <3 Andy and his perfumes!!! Sign me up please!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome, GG! (Great name, by the way)
ReplyDeleteAs a garden enclosed is my Beloved...containing all things bright and beautiful...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great review of this perfume! :)
