MORE WINDOW SHOPPING
I am convinced I won't ever find my favorite perfume or commit to a full-size because I haven't madly fallen in love with one, and I tire of my favorites after a couple of months. I recently sprayed You by Glossier and Valley de Farney by Maison Louis Marie and disliked them both. They had me wondering, what was I thinking?
Destined to be forever alone and stinky.
That's going on my new About Me page.
While on the quest for new jeans at Roosevelt Field, I could not fight the lure of perfumes.
I first went to Louis Vuitton, felt out of place, sniffed a couple, tried Afternoon Swim because reviewers say it smells like Le Gemme Tygar by Bvlgari (they really do,) and forgot the rest.
I also went to Aesop to check out their fragrances and products. The visit reminded me why I don't buy any Aesop products.
Lastly, I sniffed every perfume sample at Jo Malone one right after the other.
One, two, three, four, five, splits, spread-eagles, back-flips, flip-flops, one right after the other
- Lime Basil & Mandarin
- Earl Grey & Cucumber
- English Pear & Freesia, which I have a sample of courtesy for SoPost. There will be a review in a couple of months. Definitely need to test out the sillage and longevity because their track record isn't that great.
- Poppy & Barley
- Scarlet Poppy Cologne Intense
While looking on the website for reference, I noticed that the store didn't have some fragrances, like Verbenas of Provence, Blue Agave & Cacao, or at least I don't recall seeing them; it's been a while, okay!
I quit my receptionist job near Macy's for another receptionist job a couple blocks away, so I no longer go to Macy's as often. I went with a purpose.
- Try Givenchy L'Interdit again. It's still great, albeit still too old for me. It's very sexy, mature, and musky, making me feel some type of way.
- Givenchy L'Interdit Rouge because a perfume reviewer said it's a staple in their EXTENSIVE collection. It's not as great as the original.
This white border on the image is awful and messes up the spacing/the appearance of this post.
I didn't know Narciso Rodriguez was at Macy's, but I'm glad I tried it, so my future sample purchases will be smaller. I was not a fan of For Her's EDP or EDT; I forget which one, but one smelled like nail polish remover. Not elegant and sophisticated, nor sensual and seductive. Though, I did like the Pure Musc EDP.
Lastly, I gave Tom Ford another try. Well, I gave Bitter Peach another try. I can't force myself to love something I don't and have a lousy track record.
