Floral Scents Of Beauty
January 19, 2009
Lately I have been feeling refreshed and pretty with floral and feminine scents. I don’t like something that is too heavy or carries such a musk you feel as though you are living in a swamp- small doses are in order with heavier scents.
But I do like something light and crisp with maybe just a hint of a bite, something that gets your curiosity and attention going and says “ooooh.”
I love Viktor & Rolf, they are creative and inspiring to me. With a name like FlowerBomb and such a delightful presentation, I was anxious early on to see the results. I find it to be lightly feminine and bold with that bite that is just right. And it definitely has it- bold and feminine bottled in such a pretty little bottle of a bomb. Its one I keep in supply at all times.
Now this one is perfectly feminine and sweet. It is light with a nice balance- a noticeable and welcome presence that is not at all overwhelming.
In fact, how I came to find it and love it is a story of itself- completely unintended at that.
A couple of years ago I was at work one day, standing in the entry way bored with a few other girls. It was that time of day where nothing happens, the calm before the storm if you will. It lasts an eternity it seems.
Anyway, there was a magazine I had been flipping through when suddenly a scent got my attention. I instantly smiled and sighed, tore the page and started fanning myself. Then, I proceeded to fan the girl next to me.
She instantly smiled and sighed. There we were, fanning ourselves and smiling. Now the third girl was looking at us quite strangely, it wasn’t as though it was hot in the room or anything. We motioned and offered to fan her, she shook her head giving us the notion that we were indeed insane.
We laughed and began to fan her when she too- instantly began smiling. She got it at that point, and in fact was so in love purchased the perfume the next day.
We always could tell when someone was wearing it- it is just so lovely. Whenever I wear it I always think of that day when I first discovered it. Anyone watching us must have thought we were mad!
Oh well, I still enjoy Calvin Klein’s euphoria blossom today as the perfect refreshing scent for my day.
I love your poll about class and elegance. I really feel that society today is seriously lacking in those areas. I wish people cared more about class and elegance in all aspects of everyday life- manners, style, politeness. It seems that the aura of people who exude class and elegance is considered “old fashioned,” but acting in an elegant, classy manner is always timeless to me.
Jaime, it means a lot to me to hear you say those words; very true. Am delighted you believe so as well.
Image is something that is too often neglected and isn’t even mentioned in schools. Yet its role in society is grander than most even realize. Especially when it comes to succeeding in your goals and desires.
Knowing class and elegance, and knowing their importance is an incredibly powerful tool when taken advantaged of, too. As you say, it is timeless.
This is something I am very passionate about, and find majority of the time people simply being uninformed is the cause. You don’t know until you know- and how can you ask when you don’t even know what it is?
I’ll have something announced very soon for that. And you can be certain it will be warm and welcoming to incorporate into every day life.
