Faithful

I will always be faithful to my perfume "Shalimar" from Guerlain
I like perfumes very much and I've tried many throughout the years
but my absolute favorite is "Shalimar".
I've used this perfume since my late teens and if people
say that a scent defines a person, then I am "Shalimar" indeed.
It's a complex perfume, strong, sensuous and with a scent so fantastic
that it takes a while for the perfume to "open" after we put it. It
stays on the skin all day long, like a seductive fingerprint..
Shalimar was created in 1925 and I hope it will stay for many years
as I don't want to part with it.

This is my humble tribute to my scent. When I wear it I feel alive,
it might sound silly, but it defines me as a woman. I love it. I am faithful to it.




This image has no connection with the House of Guerlain and I hope
it won't in any way go against its best interests.

What a tribute to Shalimar. It could be definitely used as an advertisement for this perfume. Wonderful photo. Bravo.

So classical this photo, the perfume Shalimar one of the oldest in the world and the composition. Good work my 'Caravaggio' ;)

Excellent work with the light - the most spectaular of it being the reflection on the lops. The crop and composition are also outstanding. Excellent work.

Ah, I can smell it now...the wonderful, aromatic scent that embraces your every day.
Beautiful shot Ana! This would be a great advertising shot as well. If only the scent could come through the computer... :-)

Voluptuous pleasure - The lips, the eye and the hands speak volumes, Ana. A great picture.
Phil Douglis30-Aug-2006 01:56
You could become e a wonderful fashion and advertising photographer, Ana. Your images an elegant sense of style and often suggest the pleasures of consumption -- perfume, sunglasses, cameras, and various kinds of clothing. You often appeal to the senses, in this case an imaginary smell, quite well. And that sensuous quality is often the stuff of advertising.
Guest 30-Aug-2006 00:59
Nice, minimalist, your way.
Hi Ana,
Text is in your way.
You´re someone I try to "read" in your pictures, in your words.
Your "Self Portraits" has a lot to make me understand you. The artist that love poetry and minimalist pictures ...side by side with self portrait.
You know, words and pictures are a great source of showing our hidden self.
Abraço

Oh, that Rod! How can one top that? Very beautiful shot, comp, light (or lack thereof...I love the dark shots best) and idea...bravo.
Guest 29-Aug-2006 23:44
Sing my name as euphoria darling.As my light envelopes your eyes with a kiss.While I promise you anything impossible tonight.Hold me as honey wine to intoxicate your heart to flight.And I will simmer still, and potent, with a fragrance to never part from your soul.
Guest 29-Aug-2006 23:06
