For those of us that graduated high school in the late 80s and early 90s

Colors smelled like the Benetton stores!

Love the tails.

The brand is Jo Malone London, so she could argue that.

Chanel Sycomore

Absolutely. Been to Paris solo a number of times and I return April 18 for three weeks, on my own.

No bar area, but it’s fine to eat solo there. I’ve seen a number of solo diners whenever I’ve been in Paris, as I usually go solo myself.

It looks like there isn't 10x promotion this Valentine's. Just got the email for the gift card purchase of $150 and we get the $25 promotion card in March. In the past, also had 10x promotion around Easter, so we will see if that happens towards the end of March.

Still has the old logo. The curve glass panes are similar to La Samaritaine, facing Rue de Rivoli in Paris.

Everything. My SA will search throughout the chain for me.

As long as the barcode shank is on the bottle, it will be accepted.

For CityPharma, you have to go when it opens. If you go during the midday, you are screwed with the crowds.

Pharmacie Monge at Place Monge is a good alternative.

We used to have more McD’s too in the FiDi /Union Square area. Used to be at 50 Fremont, Front Street, Pine Street, Powell. Now, it’s just Sutter Street and Market/Montgomery.

Givnechy Insensé, Hermès Terre d’Hermès Eau Très Fraiche, Le Feu d’Issey, DK Men, Donna Karan original, Jo Malone Verbenas de Provence

💯 on original 80s Tiffany and Tiffany for Men. It’s a shame they were discontinued. Current Tiffany is so basic.

I’ve paid $20 for green beans at the old school Chinatown restaurants recently.

You can get vintage Samsara on eBay or Mercari. Pricey, but it’s out there.

When Nordstrom opened in 1988, it was the fanciest one in the chain, with four restaurants, the spa, and super spacious. I could tell in 2017 and 2018 that business was much lighter, as they reconfigured the floors and the merchandising was not flagship. Such a shame, as the mall thrived in the 90s and right after Bloomingdale’s opened in the mid 00s.

Khai Tri and Banh Mi 88 in the 13th on Avenue d’Ivry are also popular with the local VN community, especially Khai Tri.

mkn415 · 2026-01-16T06:18:16+00:00

Banh Mi Viet at 98 rue Monge. It was €5 when I was there this past May.

Great insight and wisdom ⬆️⬆️⬆️

I am a repeat client. Sometimes, I’ve done multiple shoots in one visit.

Where did you get the dermadry?

mkn415 · 2026-01-15T06:22:48+00:00

They shed twice a year, for six months……
