It is always good to take a little time to remember to visit your femininity. Today that translated into shopping for perfume. Nothing better than a perfume hunt (with a girl friend along to laugh with) to tap the femininity within!
It was time to find a new scent to uplift the spirits. After about 10 fragrances and many sniffs of the coffee beans (to erase the 'nose pallet' as I lovingly call it =) ) I came away with 3 fragrances that 'rang my bell'. I had to choose only one to try on and that was difficult! I like to see how smitten I am with a fragrance AFTER wearing it for a day--if I get tired of it fast, I don't want to buy it. Who wants to go around not liking one’s own scent? And we girls are not wasters of time or money!
I didn't know that Fragrance Advisers existed! But they do AND very knowledgeable (not to mention helpful!) Mine was called “Choc” (yes you read that right! Just like Choc-olate). He had me, right then and there, with THAT line of talk (what a salesman!).
He picked my brain about other scents I have liked suggesting ones for me to try that have familiar feels: fruity, floral, feminine, fresh, bold.... not to mention suggesting new scents that I would not even have considered. I did turn down trying the Madonna fragrance--the bottle was too, …ahem, well.... let’s just say I have four boys in the house and leave it at that!
I now have cord bracelets (with my favorites scents sprayed on them) in my “dainties” drawers to enjoy the fragrance all the more! Now I have to decide which to buy. What a day!
