Perfume: My Three Most Worn
Thursday, March 12, 2015So I watched a very unusual movie the other day called Perfume. Set in the 1700s, about a boy born with a very keen sense of smell that led him down a path of murder in search for the perfect fragrance. What fascinated me was the art of perfumery and the effect it has on your senses and emotions. And it made me wonder, what do I like about my perfumes? Is there one that is absolutely perfect for me?
No. At this very moment, I do not own a fragrance that has captured my heart, that I would call "my signature scent." I used to have one (Burberry Original) but then started buying so many (as one does) that I never developed a true love for any single fragrance I owned.
However, out of my sizeable collection of about 15 fragrances (I need to downsize!), I do reach for 3 more often than the rest, based on my mood for the day. So here are my 3 most worn perfumes:
If I'm wanting a clean, fresh scent, I wear Juicy Couture's Peace Love and Juicy Couture (right). Not one of their bestselling, kinda smells like grass actuallly. But that's probably why I like it. Refreshing, not overbearing, and doesn't really smell sweet. Just smells fresh. This is more of a day and Spring time scent, but I do wear it in the winter when I'm feeling a little stuffy.
If I'm wanting a girly, sweet scent (and I'm in a good mood perhaps and want to smell yums) I wear Si by Gorgio Armani (left) . A new purchase for me (bought it for myself around Christmastime), I've gotten a lot of use out of it by the looks of it. It smells like adult candy (very similar to Miss Dior Cherie, the strawberry/popcorn one that was discontinued for God knows why). This is a good day/evening scent, and appropriate all year around.
If I want a basic, everyday perfume (I feel like every girl has one of those, a perfume she just throws on, not necessary to smell extra special) then I'll splash on my Katy Perry's Meow (center). I do own the Purr too (the cute bottles got me, even if I didn't like the perfume I was still going to display it on my dresser). Meow is soft and sweet. It's got a gourmand, sugary vanilla scent and is appropriate for work as it is not overpowering at all.
There are several other fragrances in my collection that I love (Dior Dolce Vita, Gucci Flora, Victor and Rolf Flower bomb) and although I love them, they aren't the fragrances I reach for the most (they are special occasion scents).
