Coming up Roses

I absolutely love walking in and around the grandeur Temple Newsam.

I was not expecting the Rose garden was colourful and has the most wonderful smell of perfume that linger in the air. Yes. Truly.

I'm not sure if I'm rather sensitive with odour, or was I overwhelmed by the amount of petals that were there?It's like the flowers were evaporating their sweats due to the heat.

A brief exercise of the day lead to some snapshot taking session with my mobile-phones. I was just in time to jam my phone memory with images before the rain falls.

I do like Maria Erikson's backdrop setting of Charlota' photo-shoots with similar type of garden such above.

I rarely saw a lilac rose that smells intensely wonderful.

Imagine a dense layer of vanilla musk under a top note of your average Rose smells, in a splash top note of bergamot. There's a rather unusual complexity of sweetness that I would very much like to have it to cover my natural body-odour.

There's always something about a man who aren't afraid to wear pastel shades or wearing floral print. I don't think it lessen their masculinity or so ever.

I don't mind looking at these editorial spread from Russian GQ.

Sometimes I like to steal a little spritz from my father's perfume collection to avoid the over flowery smell that mostly marketed for summer season.

When I look at the last two bottom images on the left I can imagine the smell of subdued base notes of rosewood, vanilla in a hint of tobacco smell. Then a vetiver and cedar as the middle deep scent.

How about you?

What is your favourite all time smell?

Have a lovely weekend.
