Oh, Lanier...you're the master of Summer Reading...and I just love how you matched the perfect Classic book with the perfect Classic Summer Scent...and brilliant music score. Bravo maestro!!! It's a shame Classic Hollywood has devolved into the spiritless, soulless, talentless, passionless, crapfest we've seen in recent years. I certainly don't possess your knowledge of Classic Hollywood, but I do recall sitting for hours with my grandmother, whom I dearly loved, watching all those classic films from the 30s, 40s, 50s and, to some extent, the early 60s. She loved them so, which is probably why I appreciate your creative releases. Cheers!

[@lizseville1]

So good to see a film by you. Very evocative ❤

[@bromunn8102]

All 3 scents are top of the line. Great character.

[@gabrielgomez9128]

That’s always a fantastic idea.
Sometimes I can’t wait for nighttime to take a cool shower, play some good music, wear a wonderful fragrance (Tonight’s is Antico Caruso) and a great book.
Oh, and the cherry of the cake: Silence (other than M83).
Enjoy, my Owl friend.

Love John O'Hara. He was born near me In Pottsville Pa. and died in my Aunt's home town of Trenton. I adore his work!! I own both Grey Flannel and Polo Green and Aramis. Wonderful!!

[@laniersmith1798]

I so love his books and his short stories are the BEST! Cheers Zelda!

Loved the photography!! I was only thinking about Grey Flannel yesterday…about how I need to buy a bottle, it’s one fragrance I’ve never owned. I remember smelling it in Harrods when I worked there in the late ‘70s!!
