Perfume

I love perfume! But, when I can smell someone coming for 2 blocks, that's just too much. Which is why I don't buy cologne - it's too strong, never subtle and just overwhelms the senses.


Perfume, on the other hand, when used appropriately, creates an aura that doesn't announce your arrival. One of my favorites is "Oscar," because it totally suits my body chemistry, and when I wear it no one knows unless they get close to me. Not to mention, my ego loves hearing "You smell so good!" It's the only fragrance I currently own or wear. And I only wear it in the evenings. It's really not a daytime scent, to me.


I'm not really fond of 'flowery' scents, the more earthy and woodsy kinds of fragrances definitely seem to suit me better. Years ago, I wore 'L'air du Temps' by Nina Ricci and 'Rive Gauche' by Yves Saint Laurent - such wonderful perfumes. And I absolutely love 'Grey Flannel' by Geoffrey Beene for men. Although, 'Old Spice' is one of my first sensory memories - from my grandpa. It always smells like love to me, so I love the fact that Mark wears it, too.


Between you and me, I think that everyone should find a scent that 'speaks' to them and that they are proud to wear.

We, as a species, relate to each other based on scent. Find your perfect fragrance and wear it proudly.
