Discovering Interesting Perfumes at Sephora
I don’t know about you, but I love shopping at Sephora. There was a time when Sephora only existed in big cities and as a veritable vault of perfume comprising both the ordinary and the extra-; the hard-to-find and the very popular; Etro and Caron alongside Dior and Guerlain.
Then things changed. Perfume was downsized to make room for ever more cosmetic lines or for expansion of existing lines. The Etros and the Carons disappeared along with Chamade and Miss Dior. Soon, what was left was a display touting a “Top Ten” of fragrances, which for a while was led by Light Blue. More shelf space disappeared. Only top performers were left. That’s what you find today in most Sephora shops, especially in small towns like mine where a “mistake” can be costly. This is why precious space has been given over to Dot, Marc Jacobs’ latest, based on the performances of Lola and Daisy.
Nevertheless, it is still possible to build a fantastic perfume wardrobe based on the available selection, and I browse the perfume section at Sephora on a regular basis, if not for revelation, then for fun. That is where I discovered, much to my delight, the trio of Hermès colognes Eau d’Orange Verte (green orange), Eau de Pamplemousse Rose (pink grapefruit) and the stunningly weird Eau de Gentiane Blanche (white gentian) that smells the way Chartreuse tastes.
