When I was writing about Miss Habanita, after this post, I was searching my brain for a word I'd had but lost days ago - not steeped fruits, but compote!

To me, Tocade is cherry red, Fracas is purple, White Linen is more of a natural muslin color, Habanita is deep brown, and Chamade is canary yellow.

I don't know why. I like tea scents but don't tend to love them, so maybe that's it. I seem to only picture colors with a fragrance I have a strong visceral reaction to - one that thrusts my imagination somewhere solid. Tea is usually, for me, Oh, that's nice.

Seems to me I got a sample with purchase several years ago. It came in a tiny box and the bottle was in the shape of a doll, with arms and legs akimbo. And it smelled exactly the way I read Marni described. When I first heard of it I thought of the Hitchcock film, Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293853110472146382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-16961123726341001542013-04-12T11:01:58.579-04:002013-04-12T11:01:58.579-04:00I don't think of galbanum as a bright green ei...I don't think of galbanum as a bright green either, Elisa. For me it registers silvery green somehow, maybe a dying green. I probably see pink the least, green, red and gold the most. This could have to do with years of advertising, which probably taught me how to visualize perfume in a lot of ways. It seems like green, red, and gold, if they haven't been the most used in advertising Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293853110472146382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-66867592194244831192013-04-12T09:55:16.610-04:002013-04-12T09:55:16.610-04:00I have a very broad type of synaesthesia that appl...I have a very broad type of synaesthesia that applies to musical sounds as well as numbers and letters. It definitely does extend to scents, though it is stronger with tastes.<br /><br />I have no idea why, but fragrances with dominant tea notes tend to be a soft purple. Chanel #5 is antique gold, but with a layer of dust. Chanel #22 is bronzy-pink, and sort of a plush texture.

In fact, even when I know to describe something as a "green floral," I don't always see it in green. Galbanum is kind of a drab olive green to my nose/eye, not a bright grassy green, as in lime or some violet leaf materials.Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270808520581466353noreply@blogger.com
