Customizeable perfume from MEMOIRE LIQUIDE by Mary
I really like having my own special fragrance and have been a little at a loss after Lucy decided she loved Kenzo's Parfum d'Ete and started wearing it as well. I mean, we already look and sound so much alike, so... And then the whole world seemed to be wearing Kai which was my next pick. It's safe to say I've been in a bit of a fragrance panic. Until I walked into Fred Segal in Santa Monica last week to discover a perfume afficianado's dream vision-- Memoire Liquide. The set up resembles what I would imagine an old apothecary/perfumerie to look like with rows upon rows of delicious smelling tinctures. The best part is that they will mix together ones you love for you-- which is what I did -- but I'm not telling which two! They are also incredibly affordable at $45 for a 15 ml pure perfume roll on, or you can get three different roll ons for $90. They also come in sprays, but I like the roll on as they're tiny and you can stash it in your bag for freshening up throughout the day. They seem to be working on their website, but girls in LA and NYC are in luck as the West Coast can visit Fred Segal in Santa Monica, and East Coast can hit Henri Bendel in NYC where the line is also carried. You can find them online at various retailers, but I wouldn't advise buying this way-- to me that's like buying an item of clothing you can't see... Go on, girls! Customize your own scent-- create a liquid memory-- isn't that what Memoire Liquide translates to?
