My first day in Paris covered a few favourite destinations. Firstly a visit to one of my favourite fragrance boutiques Frederic Malle on rue du Mont Thabor. Then for a spot of lunch at l'Imperial. After recharging the batteries we headed to Chanel on rue Cambon and then to Goyard where I purchased a 'shopper' and matching scarf - truly gorgeous. Always good to be swinging down rue Saint Honore with a few shopping bags in tow!!
Chanel was busy as every store in Paris is currently on Sale. As much as I love a bargain nothing inspired me at Chanel. I prefer to shop when the stores are not on Sale.
These images are of Frederic Malle's store - I bought the newly released book on Perfume Making, one of the new room sprays and of course some perfume - En Passant.
Last but not least the wonderful view from our apartment - you could sit and look out the windows all day.
J'Adore Paris!!
Hope you are having a wonderful time. I love the Frederic Malle range, each and every one I have tried so far. Expensive though! Wish I could meet up with you there.
