Barflies

Melina from Buenos Aires, Argentina

  • November, 2015
  • From: Buenos Aires, Argentina
  • Occupation: Secretary, translator, writer
  • What fragrance(s) are you wearing these days
  • Fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens, White Patchouli by Tom Ford (it goes well in Argentina's winter), and Love Chloe - it's super powdery and classic.
  • Last fragrance acquisition
  • What We Do in Paris is Secret by A Lab on Fire
  • Next on your wishlist
  • Epic Woman from Amouage, Good Girl Gone Bad By Kilian, a vintage bottle of Apres L'Ondee by Guerlain (to satisfy my inner Victorian dream). I'd love to find a bottle of Unidentified Fragrance Object by Kenzo because the descritpion and bottle design are intriguing though I've never smelled the fragrance. I'd also love to find a bottle of Le Dix by Balenciaga.
  • Top three favorites of all time
  • Like This from Etat Libre d'Orange, Balenciaga Paris and the original version of Addict by Dior.
  • First fragrance
  • The first one I bought for myself was Tribu by Benetton but before that I wore my mom's perfumes like Poison and Anais Anais.
  • Favorite smells (not perfume)
  • Coffee, honeysuckle (it reminds me of my childhood), my fiance's skin, The Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong teas from Mariage Freres as well as the Almond Tea by an Argentinean tea brand called Tealosophy. I love the smell of my Siamese cat's fur and the smell of artificial cherry flavoring - it brings me back to kindergarten in California and the after-school popsicles my Mom would let me buy once a week from the ice cream truck!
  • Interests beside fragrance
  • Music, languages, literature, travel, cinema.
