I have an acute sense of smell. Most women do, let’s face it, but my nose could smell a rose in a perfume factory. This brings me nicely to today.
I have a client who works as a perfumer in Fulham, manufacturing on behalf of Gucci, Prada and Chanel – my three favourite brands. When asked what his profession is, he describes himself as a ‘Nez’ (nose), which incites confusion in the uneducated and a look of delight in others. As an expensive escort, I have many gentleman friends in high-end professions, but nothing compares to Harvey.
As Harvey describes me as a “special friend,” he decided to craft a signature scent uniquely for me—something that embodies my essence in a bottle. I was overjoyed and excitedly joined him in his workshop, eager to create a truly intoxicating fragrance that I could wear on nights out.
As a girly-girl, I adore scents like Emporio Armani ‘Diamonds’, Prada ‘Candy Girl’, and Givenchy ‘Truly Irresistible’. Admittedly, my collection of perfumes on my dressing table rivals a Selfridges counter, but who can resist when clients love to spoil me? When we shop together, it feels like a guaranteed purchase, curated by me. I always keep a small bottle of Chanel No. 5 in my overnight bag because it complements most clients and brings to mind icons like Katherine Hepburn and Grace Kelly.
We spent the day indulging my senses, sampling as many fragrances as possible. Harvey had me sniff coffee beans between scents to cleanse my palate, much like a sorbet between courses.
While I have a sweet tooth for fragrances, I discovered my true attraction lies with warm, oriental scents. By the end of our session, I had a stunning amber-coloured liquid infused with musk, vanilla, exotic resins, wood, and a blend of floral and spicy notes. We named it “Chameleon” to reflect the many facets of my personality and my adaptability. Harvey definitely earned some major brownie points in my little black book!
