Fragrance

Well of course you know I'm going to start with the number one selling fragrance in the world, Chanel No5. I hear it everyday "That's my grandmas perfume". Well, your grandma has good taste. I had an elderly woman tell me once that No5 reminded her of an old love lost and when she wore it she remembered the sweet moments they had together. They say fragrance is the strongest sense tied to memory. I think my first perfume was something like Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden (I think). I also went through a couple bottles of Dolce and Gabana light blue, and Ralph Lauren (the blue bottle they don't make anymore) when I was younger. When I smell these fragrances now they really "bring me back".
  However, I think a persons taste for perfume is acquired over time, like wine. I find that now I prefer much richer, more complex fragrances. Fragrances that tell a story, evoke emotion. That's why I love Chanel fragrance. They use the finest ingredients and the way they blend them together is always so divine. I wish I didn't love Coco Mademoiselle so much because EVERYONE wears it, and I like to be different. So I've been experimenting with mixing it with other fragrances from the line. Different fragrances for different moods is my motto. Some days I need a pick me up so I'll spritz on something citrus and clean. Other days when I'm feeling lighthearted I like sweet and soft. On days when I'm feeling strong and confident I'll go with something rich like Coco Noir, or YSL Elle, or Chance. I only wear Chanel No5 when I want to feel like a classy lady wearing a classy fragrance. I know it sounds cheesy, but that's what I do.
  Maybe after you watch this video you'll understand just a little bit. Its like once you know the history behind a fragrance it becomes so much more intriguing and you have more appreciation for it. Some days, when I'm feeling really large and in charge I'll even wear a men's fragrance. I like the way they generally smell clean and woodsy. Bleu de Chanel is my usual go to. But I also love the Gucci pour homme. Deeeeelicious. Well that's all for now. enjoy the video!
