I didn't know that nugget about Bowie and Sycamore, but how interesting. I had heard he wore Minotaure by Paloma Picasso, and Rachael above scored herself a vintage bottle for that very reason!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-13820545903132723822018-04-25T10:13:35.504+01:002018-04-25T10:13:35.504+01:00Hi Tara,

That was the very track that got me into the music 39 years ago. ;) It is weird as all get-out, and even Bid, who wrote it, has no idea what it's about, though a shedload of fans have tried to tell him over the years.<br /><br />Glad to meet a fellow tobacco fan, and I am rather envious of your hillbilly ancestry!

I like the tobacco smell and also think it's a little bit gross, all at the same time.

Let's do that again!<br /><br />I've been pondering possible perfumes for Jon, which is a little tricky having no starting point for his taste in smells. But I was thinking about the things that worked particularly well when I was still a smoker, and things that can dance all over any easy definitions of gender... not wispy, but not full on crikeyhttps://instagram.com/slowlightnoreply@blogger.com
