Vent Vert

Vert Vert by Balmain was the first eau de parfum I ever got (as a gift from an uncle when I was 17) and the scent of hyacinths has always remained my favourite for perfumes and the likes. This morning the scent of these hyacinths greeted me when I came down, they're really starting to bloom now. In the small shopping centre close to us there's a florist with exorbitant prices and the supermarket which not only has quite a range of cut flowers but which also sells such little gems as this box with the bulbs.

Thanks very much for your comments and stars for yesterday's Blip on the Chateau de la Hulpe, very much appreciated :-)
