"She'd sit very close to me and she smelled of tuberoses, which is not my favorite perfume, not by a longshot." Joe Gillis (William Holden) sitting on the couch with Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) watching silent films in Director Billy Wilder's 1950's film Sunset Boulevard.

"I personally love all the perfumes I create for you, each and every one...how could I not? During the creative development process I wear the fragrance myself for weeks at a time so that when the perfume reaches you it is just perfect in every way possible. With my new Parfums Jeffrey Dame Fidele Ambre Noir Homme EdP though the development process has been just a touch longer at forty years. Amber in perfumery is not an ingredient, it is rather an accord of sandalwood, benzoin and patchouli which when brought together creates a sweet resinous warm balsamic sensation which I find fabulous. Way back in 1984 I was presented with a three note amber accord which I've dabbed on myself here and there for years and years and always thought this heart needs to be built out into a complete fragrance. So yes, here now is Fidele Ambre in resplendent form for you to explore and enjoy. DAME Club 100 members have had access to Fidele Ambre on a preview basis for the past few months, and trial sizes are being mailed out right now to those customers who signed up for a free sample. Fidele Ambre took a good while, but I'm a happy man now that my cherished amber accord has been fully dressed. I'm wearing it right now while listening to Smokey Robinson sing Quiet Storm. Perfect."

"Yes pearls, the color I like and perhaps I can appreciate...platinum and diamonds; and she didn't buy her perfume in Algiers."
"So all you noticed were the jewels and perfume?"
"Was there anything else?"

]]>A long time favorite customer sent me a note today saying -
"I love my perfume. Probably too much… But hey. Perfume matters. A lot."
I'm thinking to myself as I read her note 'What a lovely sentiment.'; and then also 'There's no such thing as loving your perfume too much. It's just not possible.'
My customers are wonderful and I am thankful for each and every one.

Walter Neff asks Phyllis Dietrichson "Same chair same perfume same anklet?"
"I wonder if you know what I mean?" responds Phyllis
"I wonder if you wonder," says Walter
It was a hot afternoon and I could still remember the scent of honeysuckle all along that street. How could I have known that murder can sometimes smell like honeysuckle.
