Coco Mademoiselle?
Dior Sauvage?
Gucci Bloom?
Creed Aventus?
Bleu de Chanel?
(All said with inaccurate accents)
That don't impress me much!
I love fragrances, and the first thing I notice is mostly the scent of a person. Having smelled many perfumes out there, I'm always trying to find a unique scent.
A little bit about perfumes...
The molecules in a perfume mix with your body chemistry, and sometimes perfumes smell different on different people. But still, some scent profiles, like flower and patchouli, are so common that you smell them everywhere. While this is the combo for women, for men, it is vetiver or tobacco. Then there are the ubiquitous sweet perfumes that feel like someone is shoving cotton candy under your nose. Or the evergreen rose, which is a mass market pleaser for men and women alike.
All of them smell pleasant but are so generic that they are forgettable or you become anosmic to them.
But once in a while...
You meet someone, and a whiff of something wakes up your senses. In my experience, these are some of the fragrances that I have come across:
1- I met this person in my office during their onboarding, and they smelled like roses and something else. It was a hint of rose followed by a deep, mysterious, and luxurious thing, which I later found out is called musk. Of course I bought it; here's a picture.
2 - I'm a part of a fragrance community, and we got to talking. I really bonded with one of the members as we had similar hobbies. But the only catch was that my taste in perfumes is a lot different than hers. I like feminine, but not masculine, scents. I'm iffy about unisex perfumes because I believe no perfume is completely unisex. However, she recommended a perfume to me. It has the weirdest name. Escentric Molecule 01 It should be called Eccentric Molecule 01.
This one ALWAYS smells different on different people, but it gives a vibe of your own unique scent BUT as if you were a forest.
I only have the sample of it because I'm too broke to buy the original.
3 - A whiff of Paris: The French are famous for their perfumes, so I was excited to go to Paris. But the moment I stepped there, I could smell wisps of something fresh and beautiful. It wasn't like the heavy, floral scents that I had imagined. Instead, it was mostly fresh, aquatic skin scents.
The most alluring scent that impressed me was worn by our tour guide. Following him closely, I could smell a single small rose floating in the salty ocean. It turned out to be a brand called Goutal.
I got a sample of this beautiful scent.
One of the primary reasons fragrances impress me is because I have not found my own signature fragrance yet. So, if someone has it figured out, props to them.
All photos are mine (As you can figure out by the horrible photography).
some people are impressed by what they see, you are a bit different, you are impressed by the things you smell, so that's a very good thing, also perfumes give a sensation of pleasure. Blessings
Thanks for reading.
Really interesting post. I really enjoyed. There are persons whose smell we really love. There are perfumes that smell of wood I like, some flowers. Perfumes are a wonderful topic.
Thanks, nice to meet a fellow fraghead.
