find the perfect perfume

Dream Angels™ Heavenly Eau de Parfum

America’s #1 fragrance. A sensual blend of smooth white peony, soft vanilla and creamy sandalwood. Domestic.

A soft, fresh and floral subtle fragrance with cherry, freesia and blackcurrant top notes.

At second sniff, I really didn’t like the Fresh Mangostein, but fortunately for me, this was sitting right next to it.

Unfortunately for me, they were all sold out, but I hope to get myself a bottle before the new year.

tried rose poivree by the different co. – nice but not me.
tried le maroc pour elle by tauer – very sweet jasmine/rose. thick…
tried costes, very clean. doesnt last long.
tried black aoud, definitely not me. very heavy.

i want something dark and sensual ….
still looking, and having fun doing so!

I went to Sephora recently to find a new summer scent. I said that I enjoy Happy, which made the man helping me want to gag. He suggested this instead, and though I haven’t had enough money to purchase a bottle yet, it’s what I’m planning on doing with my first summer paycheck.

Notes: Bergamot, Italian Lemon, Freesia, Mangosteen, Sheer Peony, Rose, Peach Flower, Musk, Brazilian Rosewood.

Laguna by Salvador Dali.

There are three perfumes that I like to think of as my signature scents…

1. Il Bacio (Borghese)

2. Yvresse (YSL)...originally named Champagne

3. Addict (Dior)

All i’ll ever need.

and put inside a bottle

what would i smell like?

i was so fortunate, on an impulsive trip to NYC back in 1985, to happen to go into the Saks 5th Avenue, and sample a wonderful perfume imported from Japan called “Murasaki”.

I did not wear perfume at the time, becasue every other perfume i’d ever smelled was ‘WAY too cloying, heavy, artifical & (to me) obnoxious

But from the first scent, i knew this perfume was mine. It was perfect for me: subtle, different, and mixed wonderfully with my body chemistry.

And twenty years since, i’ve never worn another. I’ve never tired of it. Even tho you cant buy it in this country anymore, and i have to go thru a distributor in Hawaii to import it. Even tho its hideously expensive. Even tho i use so very sparingly to make 1 bottle last me a whole year—i still love it !

Interestingly, (and all the more why it so suits me), is that the word “Murasaki” means “violet” in Japanese. And Lady Murasaki is reported to have written the very first novel in 1000 c.e.

H’mmm, a Violet Writer….yeah , that fits
