If you follow me on Facebook you know I have been on a child free vacation for the past few days in San Francisco.
This morning my husband and I had planned to walk around the city and hit our usual favorite spots. However after breakfast Jon tells me he is tired and wants to lie down for awhile. Ok... what am I supposed to do. So he suggests that I go for a walk.
What do I find one block away from our hotel?
BARNEY'S New York. hmmmmm.
It is about 10:30 on a Monday morning so it is fairly quiet. I had been thinking about getting some new perfume since my only perfume was purchased on our honeymoon. Sad, I know.
Anyway, I walk down the stairs and who do I see standing behind a glorious array of perfumes?
Jonathan. He greats me with a smile and asks me what he can help me with. I said that I was looking for some new perfume. Simple enough request. So I thought.
But what unfolded in the next several hours was nothing less than fabulous. First we chatted about some things that I liked floral vs. woody scents etc... Then he brought out a few that he thought I might be interested in and went into each and every scents history and background. He included the chemistry behind the perfume and why it was unique along with a sweet personal story.
(that is Jonathan on the left.)
Like a sommelier knows wine this man knows perfume. No I am not exaggerating.
So once the perfume had been decided on. We then moved on to make-up. Why? Because truth be told most of my make-up is older than my children. I know, I know, don't judge ladies.
He then spent an additional hour making me look lovely. And he so kindly made a little map out for me so I can do it at home.
So if you are ever in San Francisco and have a minute. Go to Barney's and ask for Jonathan Addy. He will give you the time of your life.
And I have a selection of 3- 2ml Frederic Malle perfumes to giveaway to one lucky winner.
Thanks Jonathan!
