When I was in my 20’s perfume was like blush, I would never leave home without putting some on. Then 9/11 struck and so did fluid limitation though airport security. No longer was I able to carry my No. 5 aboard, even in the travel size I had bought. So I stopped wearing perfume daily.
The other week for no particular reason I spritzed myself with a little Chanel on my way out the door to work. While diligently working at my desk, every so often, my nose would get a whiff of the liberated scent of the 1920s. And as I inhaled the subtle fragrance of rose and jasmine I felt a little more confident and a little more pretty. Later that night while falling asleep I could still smell the sweet aroma that Coco Chanel herself said she ONLY wore to bed.
The power of fragrance is pretty amazing. It can trigger a memory and elicit an emotion with one breath.
I decided today that not only am I rejoining Weight Watchers but I’m also rejoining the perfume bandwagon. Just a spritz a day.

I love when someone has on a nice smelling perfume…subtle, not too strong….and I’ll often times ask what a person is wearing if it’s especially nice. But I’ve had difficulty finding scents that I think smell good on ME. The one I have found that I like, and I’ve worn for years, is Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue.
I love perfume.
Wear it every day.
When traveling I usually take the sample size.
Right now I am wearing Amour Amour by Kenzo.
It’s one of my favorites 🙂
I love perfume, I wear it everyday. It’s one of those things I feel like you can never have too much of, like underwear. My favorites are: MAC Turquatic, Soapily Ever After Cleopatra, Soapily Ever After Memories, Kamala’s Amber, Patchouli and Arabian Sandalwood.
I tend to forget about wearing perfume. My favorite scent is Chanel’s Chance, but it seems like I only remember to spritz it on is date night. I need to join you and wear it more often! Oh, and I LOVE this color combo–this is such a gorgeous look!
I always want to try new scents but I’m drawn back to my old favorites..Chanel, Clive Christian and Lolia. I think I might venture out and buy a new scent this week.
