My second skin

A woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting - by Christian Dior.

The fragrance of the woman speaks for itself. It has its own character - a girlie lady probably would wear the floral perfume which smells sweet & refreshed, a clubbing gal might dress heavily in vanilla which is said to be a natural aphrodisiac. The smell is probably one of the strongest sensations that trigger human memory. I used to enjoy the floral smell a lot, currently am obsessed with sandalwood & amber. I have come across a few occasions of guys asking me which perfume do I wear. They said it impressed them a lot. I do believe perfume is the most intense form of memory. A unique scent represents the character of a lady.

Perfume is one of the most commercially successful products. It has high margins - simply put on a celebrity or big brand name - it sells. It's valuable cos it makes a woman woman. I'd say it's the perfect accessory to a lady other than the high heels. A good perfume not only has decent scent, but also visually stunning. A perfect example is Miumiu's fragrance.




If you are not wearing perfume at the moment, I strongly recommended you to try it on now. The woody flavours from Jo Malone & Penhaligons are my recent favourite. Picking up your own favourite brand is fun. You could start by walking to a chain cosmetics stores and play with different scent - you'll find what you like / dislike. Start with a sample size so that it's affordable & you could explore with different brands. It's like finding your new boyfriend, it might be struggling in the beginning but eventually it will come ;)

The best of fragrance is it will eventually blends in with your own body scent - so everyone smell differently despite you might wear the same perfume theoretically. 

You are never fully dressed without perfume. Ready to get yourself dressed today?
