LOVE perfumes (and good cologne on men)..... but I don't think I could pick just one that I would say is totally me.
I do think there is some aroma therapy type things going on with different perfumes/colognes, so there could be some underlying similarities in the mix of the ones I like best. I like strong, very feminine perfumes, lightly applied.
If I ever loved it, I still do and I normally have 3 or 4 (or 5)choices here all the time. Since covid though, I don't use them as much, because I am not going out. I like to choose according to my mood.
If you let them get too old, they sometimes deteriorate and don't smell the same. I don't know if they last longer if they are never opened?
Two of my favorite for men is Drakkar (Noir - Guy Laroche) & Cool Water (Davidoff)
Some of my faves for me are older (not in any particular order).... Halston (so sensually classic !), Giorgio (Giorgio Beveryly Hills, strong, bold), Heavenly (Victoria's Secret's first perfume, PERFECT summer perfume), Blue (Ralph Lauren) & CKONE (Calvin Kline) (both muskie, one high end, the other relatively cheap with similar muskie undertones).
Honorable mentions: Boudoir (Vivienne Westwood). I only owned it once (expensive) and loved it. I have looked for it and it appears the original may not be available anymore. Some out there have reviews from people that have worn and loved it saying it isn't the same as it use to be, so I've believed them and passed) Enjoli (Ritz)... was a much less expensive perfume but had some of the same undertones of Boudoir. No longer produced either !
I tried Red Door one time and although the initial perception would not have been my very favorite, I found that the aroma therapy effect of it kept me energized and upbeat while working my 8 to 5 job in front of a computer all day. I was surprised about that effect on me, so I keep it all the time and still use it at home during my working hours.
When I was a teen and early 20's Charlie was also a fav. (The original scent, Revlon)
I had a lot to say about that....right?? LOL....
Great comment! I like how you think on it, how the scents mean something to you other than just being a smell. For me cologne, perfume on a woman, is a huge thing...I mean even one I like applied too heavily can be a turn off...It has to be a light scent as one shouldn't be smelled before one is seen.
You really should do a post on it I think. You have a lot to say. Thanks for your great comment, I really appreciate it.
