Perfumes and Scents
I’m not a perfume person. I hate strong scents. I gag. I choke. I can’t breathe. People think I overreact. At one time I was in the girl’s restroom and someone came in too strong. I couldn’t get out of the bathroom fast enough. My lungs just stop functioning and rejects taking in any air. It gets scary really - no joke.
I’m a baby powder and/or baby cologne wearing person, even then, not so often. I can’t really be bothered putting on stuff on myself. I have phases where I would put them on almost everyday, and then I forget about it.
Anyway, I was talking with a friend about perfumes and I ended up looking for a tiny vial of perfume given to me for my 18th birthday (because I turned into a woman) by my brother’s then-teammate at work. I don’t remember the person’s face or the voice. I don’t even think we ever met. But she gave me this perfume called Eternity. I looked it up online and found out that this brandless vial of perfume is from Calvin Klein.
It seems that either people love it or hate it. From the comments that I read in another website that a lot of people found it dull, or too simple, or smells medicinal. I guess that’s why I like it. It smells so subtle. In fact, I think it wears off easily, but not so much. If I wore it before going to bed and went to work, I can still smell it a bit when I get back home. Except that I would have to sniff my wrists or shoulders a on purpose. But if someone hugged me, they’d definitely smell it!
So in my search on perfumes, I stumbled on Cleopatras blog and found information about notes and scents, how to choose the right perfume, and so on. It is rather interesting, except that I am not familiar with a lot of flowers and their scents, and what not. I can definitely determine by scent if it is a Lucky Me Pancit Canton or a Payless Pancit Canton though.
Because of this conversation regarding scents and perfumes, I have worn Eternity for 3 straight days already. I don’t think anyone has noticed though since I put it on after my shower, before I go to bed. It probably gets rubbed off on the sheets.
I really like this scent.
