What would Matthew McConaughey do?
Talking about forced confinement it rings the bell of Interstellar when Cooper said:
"Oh we are not prepared for this. We have the survival skills of a Boy Scout troop! "
I am a huge fan of Matthew McConaughey from Contact to Interstellar. I bought last week the Carhartt weathered Detroit jacket. See [below] the fantastic resemblance. Kids are always kidding me here when I ask them a question they respond ironically "What would Matthew McConaughey do?"
"I am ok to go" would have said Jodi Foster a.k.a Professor Arroway in Contact, so am I ;-)

Fantastic list of movies, and a good amount of the ones you picked are easily my favourites. Would be awesome to have a scent inspired by Laurence of Arabia.
Sounds like catchy names
Thank you for making the world a more beautiful and attractive place. Madrid, Chueca, summer of 2016. Partner and I were having breakfast and a rugged Spaniard passes by and his scent captivated our attention. I had to ask him what was he wearing. He replied RIEN by Etat Libre d’Orange. Rien hasn’t stopped from proving it is a dangerous perfume. From that day we have been incrementing our ELDO collection. Thank you again.
I love your movie recommendations and your perfumes!!! The fragances have comforted me through these trying times. Thank you and stay well.
