Robin disapproves of people who collect empty perfume bottles, but I'm becoming attached to these glass vessels of Elizabeth Taylor's Passion and Elizabeth Taylor's Passion for Men. Both were given me by our eldest sister Lourdes during her trips from Sydney to Manila.

First, I am an Elizabeth Taylor fan. Second, the company is phasing out and the bottles are fast becoming collectibles. Third, they are absolutely and deliciously art deco. And, fourth, they look like props from my favorite Hercule Poirot series starring David Suchet.
