Karen Faye：邁克爾最喜歡的香水BAV

轉載自：MJFC  翻譯：susanq

邁克爾和我在很多年前發現了我們共同喜歡的味道。Jean Desprez的BAL A VERSAILLES會讓你想起他。
Obsession 和 Joop都不是他的最愛。他也許會讓保安買一些，因為BAV不是那麼容易找到的

我在網上預訂了它。我為他的倫敦之行買了很多瓶。邁克爾對待這個香水像是對待金子。他總是很興奮去擁有它。他喜歡那個漂亮的大瓶子，他也喜歡隨身攜帶一些小瓶的。Michael Bush不是總那麼高興當香水漏在他口袋裏時。

他會用Black Orchid，但那是因為它很容易得到。當我給他找到BAV的時候，他立刻就會換掉。在我預訂了它之後，邁克爾就會每天詢問它是否到了。
他在生命的最後幾周內都用的是BAV.我和邁克爾在我們相遇之前就同樣喜歡在個味道。這不是那種你在商店就能買到的香水，我總在為他尋找這個香水。Michael Bush也會幫忙尋找。當我們找到一瓶的時候，我們就像找到了金子。現在因為有網路，很容易能找到，但那時能找到一瓶就是奇跡。這個香水產生於1962年

This is strictly a quote from Karen Faye. This is also not an endorsement of Bal a Versailles or Jean Desprez by Karen Faye. This is however her "quoted" statement:

"I have had many requests. Like music, our sense of smell activates our memories. Michael and I discovered many years ago (30) we shared a favorite scent. Those who were able to share the same space with Michael, BAL A VERSAILLES , by Jean Desprez, will remind you of him."

Neither Obsession or Joop were a favorite. They may have been a quick buy from his security guards because BAV was not always easy to find."
"
"I ordered it online. I bought many bottles for him...”"Michael treated the bottles of this scent like gold. He was always so thrilled to have it. He loved the big fancy bottle, and he liked to carry the tiny little bottles in his pocket. Michael Bush wasn't always so pleased when they leaked in his pocket."

"He was wearing Black Orchid, but that was because it was easy to get. He switched immediately, when I found him BAV. He would ask me everyday if it had arrived after I told him I had ordered it."

"He was wearing BAV in the last weeks of his life."

"Michael and I shared the love of this scent before we even met. It was something we discovered about each other. It wasn't one of those perfumes you find at the department store, so I was always hunting for it for him. Michael Bush would search also. When we found a bottle it was like striking gold. Now with the internet, it makes it easier to track down, but back then it was a miracle to find!
The scent was created in 1962."
