Your word for today is "factice," those oversized bottles used for display at fragrance counters that are filled with colored water. It comes from the French term for "fake."
Steve Senski's Watching
Knud Tinglev-Hansen was from Denmark; with his wife he owned the Perfume Shops in Madison WI. He had the grace of the Old World, and his face lit up whenever I walked in. In 1985 he introduced me to men's scents created decades before in Europe. He passed in 2019; I wish I'd visited him more often.
