Of Scents
For the past few months, I have slowly become obsessed with smells.
It has gotten so bad that I regularly light my burner and the smell of pink grapefruit, orange or strawberry will be present in my room.
That's also partly to mask the smell of wood because of all the new shelves in my room but that's secondary.
The main reason was because I wanted my room to smell nice!
I love fruity fragance. I like florals but I do not like rose at all.
That one gives me a headache.
In the past, I never did like perfumes because of my sensitive nose. Almost all perfumes made me sneeze.
In the recent years, the nose has stopped complaining, mostly, and in the process, one of my favourite thing to do now is wandering about the perfume aisle in departmental stores and look at pretty bottles.
Note that I mention look and not smell.
The nose tends to shut down after 3 different scents.
My first perfume was Issey Miyake. I have not finished it and it's still in my cupboard....
But I only started in the past 2-3 years to really start buying scents.
I love Curious by Britney Spears, for both the scent and the bottle.
My next love was Princess by Vera Wang, especially the bottle, so sweet!
The next to catch my short attention span was Stella in Two. The bottle isn't so cute this time.
Then Daisy by Marc Jacobs. I love love love this scent and wore it without fail for 2-3 months.
But today, Secret Wish by Anna Sui is taking over the crown as my beloved scent. I kept smelling pineapple on myself today. =)
I only got Secret Wish because the shop in Chinatown was selling it cheaply and I like the bottle.
If not, I think I would never have discovered how much I like this scent on myself!
I forsee my current 30 ml bottle finishing fast and I would have to buy the biggest bottle available.
Yes, I do judge perfumes by their bottles.
I tend to test out a new perfume only because it looks cute.
Speaking of bottles, I also started to collect miniature perfume bottles.
The collection's kinda small right now but I hope to expand it.
Is anyone going to contribute to my collection?
