"le nez".....the nose

The gift of "the nose" is a requirement for the perfume business. The Bourbon French Parfums has been in business since 1843, and has a rich history of "the nose". This quaint little shop will have a lasting impression on anyone who floats thru their door at 805 Royal in the Quarter. It is a little bit of Paris!

With their custom blends, created only for you, it becomes your "secret" scent. Your "secret" will then be recorded for special orders for other body products such as bath salts, lotions, even shampoo...if you must! I can not think of a better way to add mystery and enticement into your life. All the mystery is at a very reasonable price tag too! Recipes are mixed by hand in small batches and judged with "le nez"...no doubt!

"New Orleans, the most romantic city and least inhibited city in America, has never denied itself any of life's earthly pleasures. The high-living, sophisticated Creole culture which came into its "Golden Age" during the 19th Century here has given this city a reputation for sensuousness and appreciation for all the finer things. Good food and drink, rich coffees, excellent tobaccos, exquisite clothing and exotic enticing fragrances are important ingredients of the good life in New Orleans."....from The Bourbon French Parfums

A quick fix off the shelf is La Pluie. For me...it is like a New Orleans spring morning after the rain...

I can not resist a little more French...The eloquent writer, Vicki Archer, says in her book, "My French Life"....that "perfume is personal magic." "The choice of a scent is a pleasure not to be rushed." I so agree!

A little dab here and a little more there, a glass of champagne, and Vicki's "My French Life".....ah....the allure of the French!
