Maybe. But having the "best life" out of anyone here is extremely relative.

Thanks... But I still stand by my first post. Most people's ideas of what would constitute a great life are pretty different around here. Though I will concede that a lot of this board is made up of completely hopeless losers.

Whether it was Love’s Baby Soft and Charlie, or Cachet with Jovan Musk, it was one of the first things you learned from your mother or discovered by horrible accident: don’t combine scents, or you could end up smelling like a chemistry experiment.
It’s a rule I’ve always followed, even being careful about layering perfumes over body lotions. So, when I heard about British perfumer Jo Malone’s concept of fragrance combining, I made an appointment at the Westfield Valley Fair store to find out more about how it’s done. (photos courtesy Jo Malone) For those who aren’t familiar with Jo Malone, it’s a London-based brand of luxury fragrances for body and home, best known for its unusual unisex scents and streamlined cream and black packaging. The company opened its San Jose store several months ago. Select items also are carried in Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom stores. The Valley Fair shop is all clear glass and mood lighting — glass jars and bottles on glass shelving and glass tables with seductively flickering candles. A glass “tasting bar'’ is designed for customers to sit for a fragrant hand massage. The first thing you need to know about this fragrance combining business is that there are 18 scents divided into six categories: spicy, woody, citrus, fruity, green floral and floral. Store manager Jenny Powell tells me that a safe bet for the tentative beginner is to combine scents that belong in the same category. If floral scents are your favorite, you might choose “Tuberose,'’ which can then be mixed with “Orange Blossom'’ or “Blue Agave & Cacao.” “But you can do other things once you’re comfortable with that,” she says, adding that there are no rules, just olfactory likes and dislikes. Every fragrance has three different notes, Powell says. A top note, the first impression you have after a sniff that stays with you for about two to three minutes. The middle note is the lingering “heart of the fragrance,'’ she says, and the base note is its foundation — a stronger, heavier impression. Rather than sniff-testing 18 bottles and who-knows-how-many combos, Powell and assistant manager Neil Chivers helped me narrow the field. It seems I gravitated toward the citrus scents, especially grapefruit. I head to the “tasting bar'’ where lead stylist Sandy Ortiz is dolloping a scoop of the Grapefruit body cream ($75, 5.9 ounces) and a squirt of the Lime Basil & Mandarin lotion ($60, 8.5 ounces) onto a glass plate. The Lime Basil & Mandarin is Jo Malone’s signature scent, a fresh aroma of limes, mandarin oranges and peppery basil. Ortiz tells me that smoking and eating spicy foods are among the factors that can change the way a fragrance smells when you wear it. Neither much of a factor for me. She massages my right hand with the grapefruit scented cream, then the left hand with the lime, basil and mandarin lotion. I like the grapefruit; not so crazy about the lime. Ortiz then combines the two — and I have to admit the blended scents have become something deliciously subtle. I’m convinced this fragrance combining can work, given the right mixture of scents. And the right advice. |

Hey. Since your life is so good, why not send me a Secret Santa gift like you were supposed to like eight months ago? And it would be cool if you could get around to it by the time we do it this year. I know you must be totally busy with your super awesome life but I am sure there is a post office nearby. You know, one of those places where you mail stuff. Such as gifts. Getting that sure would brighten up my meager excuse for an existence. Thanks, buddy.
