It does amaze me how that note is common thread that runs through the whole of French life and history in many different areas, from then to now. I will read Proust's Madelene scene thinking of orange flower essence and how French it all is from now on.indieperfumeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933060392329498890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28037586.post-50346826878155976022012-05-09T21:10:37.292-04:002012-05-09T21:10:37.292-04:00Hi Australian perfume, thank you for visiting.

I've been so curious about them for a while, and the only one I have tried is Eau de Fleurs d'Oranger du Roi. It is perfect for me as a neroli/orange blossom lover, and now I am ready to try more. I love the flow of this article too and the lovely pictures. Just can't get enough of this period of French history. :)Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01862423815517947787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28037586.post-49497114601981568122012-05-09T09:56:29.476-04:002012-05-09T09:56:29.476-04:00Thank you for writing this.
