New member and self-professed product junkie, come with two recent posts:

Red Lipsticks (LJ and DW) and Essential Eyeshadows (LJ and DW).

Some stuff about me: 25, Chinese-Australian, divides her time between Sydney and Shanghai. I love niche perfumery, red lipstick, vintage clothing, and experimentation with colour. Favourite beauty brands are Guerlain, NARS, Shu Uemura, and Shiseido.


Wearing: NARS India Song, Portobello and Nouveau Monde and Guerlain Bal de Mai.

Oh, a niche perfumery geek too! What perfumes are you into?

[the_grynne]

Ormonde Jayne Champaca, Le Labo Jasmin 17 and Musc 25 (so expensive!), anything Serge Lutens!

In the more mainstream line, I wear Chanel 19, Robert Piguet Bandit, Aqua di Parma Iris Nobile, and Guerlain Shalimar.

[rydra_wong]

Ooh, Bandit. I've heard great things.

I may need to write up a post to cover my full perfume geekings, but my current favourites are L'Artisan Parfumeur Dzing! (a long-term love) and Comme des Garcons Stephen Jones.

Also Guerlain Apres L'Ondee, Serge Lutens Borneo 1834, and my little vials of the tragically-discontinued Yohji Homme and Feu D'Issey. I've got some Guerlain Vetiver around, but haven't yet found my perfect vetiver. One day.

[the_grynne]

Have you ever tried SL Vetiver Oriental? I know they say it's not a proper vetiver, but it is one of my absolute all-time favourite perfumes.

[rydra_wong]

I have not -- may have to check it out ...

I'm guessing you've already tried this, but if you like iris, there's SL Iris Silver Mist, which is amazing stuff.

[the_grynne]

I haven't tried it! It's not one of the SL that's easy to find in Australia. I'll keep it in mind if I'm ever in Paris again.

[rydra_wong]

Yeah, it's hard to find, but you can get little decants from places like The Perfumed Court (US-based, but they ship worldwide).

*waves* Hi!

(I've seen your name around, as one does, but I never knew you were a fellow antipodean :))

[the_grynne]

Hi there! I see we have some common friends. :)
