Description
By Vivienne Westwood.
This floriental fragrance is quite subtle, unlike most of Westwoods clothes!
The blurb on Fragrantica tells us "The composition opens with cardamom, coriander and green tea. The heart belongs to enchanting rose, tender violet and nutmeg. The base is warm and soft, with leather, vanilla and amber. This is a very mystique perfume, carrying both English and Asia essences, sophisticated but not naive. The bottle was inspired by the Chinese pharmacy vial."
It is easy to wear, and I am enjoying it this week!
The tin is the Ryvita Jubilee one: I eat a lot of that! The factory is 4 miles away and when the wind is in the right direction I can smell them cooking.

Overall, I like the fiddled version best particularly the tin box but the original of the bottle itself is very nice just by itself.

Two great variations, an interesting bottle.

A lovely still life. You can still find original Chinese vials in antique shops selling for ridiculous prices.

I don't know, I've been putting out so many dollars/pounds lately on my car and computer I don't think I can afford this exotic stuff. It's strictly soap for the foreseeable future. Anyway, tonnes of red in this shot, and there will always be an England.

A dynamic and bold image! A strange name though, I think for a fragrance. I cannot get excited at the smell of Ryvita cooking, if the taste is anything to go by!! My wife likes them too! Corrugated cardboard with a hint of flavourings hehe

The perfume may be subtle but the box is a bit bright, nice shot.

Now this one sounds absolutely delish - save some drops for me - I must try it, please ... a friend gave me some of her 'Libertine - Flirtations', bodysilk/infatuation, it leaves a gold shimmer after the application ;) it's kind of crazy/cute ;)) BB

You know, having had some fine cognac---just some---I can really appreciate the layered-over-time sensations of fragrances. Cognac does that on the palate; and if you savor it, you experience the same array of tastes moving across your tongue as you do with fragrances in the nose. (Like fragrances, cognac is made from various ingredients ((brandies)) of various ages, so it would figure that its tastes would unfold for one over time.) (As an aside, I don't know if fragrances hit the price that some cognacs do---maybe they do: But there are cognacs for 15,000 pounds per BOTTLE. (( That's 25,000 dollars per BOTTLE.)) That's one costly drink...) Anyway, this image takes the very red and more sheer presence of the flickr shot, and turns it into one of your analytic and still very red and vital postworks. It seems that you did less to the bottle than you did the background---something I've noticed in other of your perfume bottle shots. But you still got some fine delineation of the bottle's reflections and swerves. But the tin in the background is broken into those wonderful cartographic shapes and 'mold growth' forms that populate a number of your postworked backgrounds; and they give the piece an intense, life-laden feeling. And the bottle box is big flat bold red---a fine accent against everything else. (Also, the postwork on the edges of this image reminds me of the rough black edges of film-photos, where the photographer leaves the black edges "rough". It came to mind.) A visual splash in the face, both powerful and a lot of fun. And you liked the fragrance too, which makes it a special treat to read about.

Good composition! I often remembered your eye for such fine little things I will never detect...
