Read an interesting interview with Catherine Deneuve in Sunday Times. She describes her perfume favorites, such as Rose Menthée by Fresh, anything by Jo Malone and Frédéric Malle.

BoisdeJasmin: R, I have not tried it. I only began to explore Fresh recently, and that one is not among the ones I know. Thank you for your nice wishes! February 6, 2006 at 3:10pm
BoisdeJasmin: L, yes, she introduced the new MAC Collection. I do agree with Tania that the photos look a bit “done.” February 6, 2006 at 3:11pm
BoisdeJasmin: N, I love many of her films, and I might watch Belle de Jour tonight.
Have a great day! February 6, 2006 at 3:12pm
BoisdeJasmin: Mercedes, I love that movie! Vincent Perez is also great in it. She was stunning in it. February 6, 2006 at 3:12pm
BoisdeJasmin: Donna, you are welcome. Glad that you enjoyed it. February 6, 2006 at 3:13pm
BoisdeJasmin: T, I love her too, but the new MAC ads are not very flattering and they definitely show a tad too much work. February 6, 2006 at 3:14pm
parislondres: CD is a timeless beauty! 🙂
Have a great day dear V. February 6, 2006 at 12:57pm
Tania: I hope your travels go as smoothly as possible. You can’t go wrong saying Catherine Deneuve is beautiful, although in all honesty, in the new MAC ads, she looks as if the surgeon has been yanking back a little too hard. February 6, 2006 at 2:46pm
Christine: I loved reading this interview! Thank you very much for posting it. February 7, 2006 at 12:25am
BoisdeJasmin: Christine, you are welcome! I thought that it was interesting too. February 7, 2006 at 12:10pm
julien: Well,catherine had a lot of surgery done on her face…and she is old now,her body is not the same…and of course it is normal(coco chanel once said a woman must choose when she comes to her 40’s in between her “ass” and her face…)but no matter i find her every time more stunning and more beautiful.
She is a great artist and a marvel of beauty.
I did enjoy too this article.
Thanks. February 12, 2006 at 5:41pm
BoisdeJasmin: Age gets to everyone, but I also agree that CD is gorgeous! I am glad that you enjoyed this article. February 13, 2006 at 2:06am
