Barflies

Shelby from Ventura

  • November, 2014
  • From: Ventura
  • Occupation: Writer and Trainer
  • What fragrance(s) are you wearing these days
  • Tobacco Rose by Papillon Artisan Perfumes has been prevalent. My fall go-to is Tabac Rouge by Phaedon, I'm also wearing Hard Leather by LM Parfums: it mellows into a leather jacket with ashtray.
  • Last fragrance acquisition
  • Maai from Bogue, and Bois d'Ascese from Naomi Goodsir
  • Next on your wishlist
  • Journey from Amouage - I love both versions, feminine and masculine. And APOM Pour Homme by Maison Francis Kurkdjian.
  • Top three favorites of all time
  • Ferme Tes Yeux by Jar , Carnal Flower by Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle (because it's so sexy) and Hard Leather by LM Parfums.
  • First fragrance
  • I think it was White Shoulders which is funny because it's so different to what I wear now.
  • Favorite smells (not perfume)
  • Leather, orange blossom, pipe tobacco and shipyards; I like the smells of wet wood, salt water and wet cement.
  • Interests beside fragrance
  • Kickboxing, writing and training.
