 it seems lot has changed since i closed the perfume cupboard nearly 20 years ago. hové has moved its location from rue royale again, CM has discontinued its revived special edition line again and, somehow, there seems  to be no picture anywhere on the web of hové’s lovely glass stoppered half moon perfum bottle, now apparently discontinued as well! i need to rectify that. and also to open up the perfume cupboard again...tresor, chloe, fracas, even white shoulders, all either “reconstituted” now— which is what i take to mean approximated with industrial chemicals so they can all smell like each other and mow people down at the mall—or simply gone.
