Ribbons and parfum are a perfect match in Paris...
Even if the parfum is British Penhaligon's...
Especially if it is Penhaligon's and sitting on 209 rue St Honore right next door to French Queen of lingerie, Chantal Thomass...
But look! How British. The bottles are perched on lovely cake stands.
Or simply lined up like soldiers and beribboned...
On rue St Honore, Penhaligon's could pass for any French shop...
Help yourself.
Blenheim Bouquet: 'allows a gentleman to undo the good work of the finest ladies finishing school'
Artemesia: 'Ladies, apply and prepare oneself for games in the parlour'

Artemesia: 'Ladies, apply and prepare oneself for games in the parlour'These are Penhaligon's advice not mine.
I do wish they didn't show these Fiesta-like cups and saucers in their windows.They sell tea and scented candles but these do not 'go' in my opinion, not that anyone is asking...
I wish they'd stick to their very Victorian look with a decadent edge and leave it at that. The cups and saucers are trop ordinaire...
If you adore perfume and have not read Chandler Burr's The Perfect Scent you are missing out. Everything you want to know about perfume lurks within this book.
Then hightail it off to the Paris Musee du Parfum for further immersion whilst sporting a pink ribbon and a matching macaron.
Don't miss the very old style Frenchie Caron full of ribbons and fluffy powder puffs at 34, Avenue Montaigne...
I will hightail it back to cold remedies and more zzzzzzzzs etc.
