Great shot, Andrea!! But as I told once I'm alergic to this stuff. The worst thing for me, travelling by plane, is the way through the minefield of perfume stories... :o[

Do PERFUMES bring back memories of events? They surely do! - every time I see and smell this dainty little flower, I am reminded of my dead Mother, which is fine with me ... and I am so glad I am reminded of this gorgeous and unforgetable scent, but I still miss her even to this day, as I grew up without her love or affection and often wondered what it would have been like ... I was only a tiny toddler, when an Aunty lifted me up to the coffin and I had to place a bouquet of 'Lily of the Valley' into her folded hands - the scent was unforgetable! What has this to do with the real perfume bottles here? (or Eau de Toilette) I am asking myself that also - seriously though, would it be close to the flower? Thank you Andrea for sharing this, it may be sad but it is also very enticing. BB

Professional shot with a prosumer camera. I have the same model and I know how is hard to obtain good shots. Bravo

very classy product portrait!

Beautiful display you set up here Andrea.

mmmmmmmmmm! I can smell it from here!

Very pretty little flower, never smelt the perfume, looks expensive in the Flickr pic :o)

Very beautiful bottles

A photo with a lot of elegance on it, Andrea.

Classy indeed! I love to see all your perfumes, I am so Jean Paul Gaultier but should branch out.

Superb capture Andrea. God Bless.

haha, intimadet!!, i know this.... but i do love your perfum pictures and background! brave Andrea;)

A super still life Andrea.

Lovely shot indeed. I would love to smell this one. As young I had one with same name :-)

Very beautiful shot! :)

Very pretty sitting arrangement Hugs Susan~

Extraordinary! Probably not the proper word in this case, but I thought I would try a different adjective tonight. Actually, I never used this stuff. Otherwise, fabulous clarity and color, A.

Excellent still life shot!

Simple and elegant design. And, as always, a superb setup and capture.

I bet it smells like a little bit of heaven. A beautiful shot of a lovely set of objects! I do love these perfume shots of yours.

Beautiful presentation! It must be hard to get the perfume out of the flower? It grows like weeds and spreads everywhere, so why is it expensive?

Oh i can smell that one now my mother wore this one a lot great presentation of it.

WOW!! Four different "flavors". I like the photo, the bottle and the green cord really sets things off very nicely!

God I barely have made it to your most recent work. Well, this is pretty recent. I can't do an Andrea session without doing at least one perfume shot. They are a whole world among your photographs. As I've said (probably a million more times than you wanted to hear, lol), they have a highly display-oriented sense about them, and I just love them. The box a little bit in the back, the main bottle a little further forward, and the small bottle upfront: A classic arrangement. Subtle shading and lighting; and the green on the box is a beautiful counterpoint to the orange-ish golden tones of the bottles and background. And a rich mass of background, at that, with smooth morphed hues. I've done many shots in my apartment of objects under various lightings, but I've yet to do anything satisfactory---unless i postworked them into abstracts. But this type of shooting is just beyond me. I've loved everyone of your perfume shots both here and at flickr, and you just never fail with them. They're a world all to themselves. You seem to have a second sense for the contrasts too---such as the green string over the glass and the golden light on the caps. You know this territory so intuitively. Another lovely entry in this long enduring series. Love it.
