Said ex-bass player was even briefly in the back of my car twice last week, obliged to nurse the Sat Nav box, a bag of rhubarb and custard sweets and my tatty old driving cardigan.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061118895694909457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328195413175627899.post-46936540194674200942013-10-28T16:21:06.348-07:002013-10-28T16:21:06.348-07:00Hi Vanessa, yes Adam is a kind of cartoon characte...Hi Vanessa, yes Adam is a kind of cartoon character of himself nowadays. He looks like a bedraggled Depp-esque pirate which makes me sad as that character was likely inspired by Adam in the first place! Poor Adam, time did not do that great thing that happens with many men in that they look more handsome as they age - the David Bowie phenomenon. Impressed by your link to him though!<br />I would love a little bit of Cuir please. I'll send you my address.

I will not pass over this another time as I do like a gentle leather scent. I can send you a smidge of Cuir de Lancome if you would be curious?<br /><br />Oh, and shame btw, that Adam went rather off the rails following his brief dandyish fame. And in a weird coincidence, I have just been to a bunch of gigs of my favourite band, whose bassist was himself an Ant, back in the day, one Andy Warren!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061118895694909457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328195413175627899.post-40604500615934539792013-10-24T11:25:42.782-07:002013-10-24T11:25:42.782-07:00Hi Undina, I've yet to get my nose around the ...Hi Undina, I've yet to get my nose around the delights of Cuir de Lancome, though I have stalked it on ebay a couple of times. It sounds beautiful. You mention Bottega Veneta. I'm very fond of this scent and the only reason I'm yet to buy it is because in the times I've worn my sample it has been really linear. Wonderfully rustic and outdoorsy (it reminds me of stored warm hay and stables), but boring after several hours of smelling the same thing from the top to the base. Have you tried Piguet's Calypso? The suede note is extraordinary in there, almost invisible, but it adds a real elegance the floral notesSarah Waitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225799091497587153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328195413175627899.post-15713863193311555242013-10-24T00:15:15.278-07:002013-10-24T00:15:15.278-07:00Thank you for both the review (I haven't tried...Thank you for both the review (I haven't tried this one, hopefully yet) and the video (I haven't heard about this band before).<br /><br />I came across at least several "feminine" leathers: Chanel Cuir de Russie, Cuir de Lancome, Ramon Monegal Curelle and, I think, Ann Gerard's one - don't remember the name. Bottega Veneta as well, if youcount suede.Undinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292100499371921334noreply@blogger.com
