Perfume Diaries

It's been a while since I last posted. Since I'm really lazy to take pictures and I haven’t gotten around using my point and shoot camera, I thought of posting the perfumes I have used or the ones I’m currently using. I can easily get pictures of them from the web. Individual post on each perfume will be the succeeding posts.

I don’t know my perfume preference yet. However, through Fragrantica I think I can slowly find out my preferred notes on the perfumes I had and have.

Marc Jacobs – Lola

I Don’t Know How It Smells But It’s on Sale (February 2013)

Of the perfumes I listed above, all the ones from Diptyque and YSL Parisienne - I only have in vials. A 10ml YSL Opium Vapeurs de Parfum was given to me when I bought the Saharienne.

I have never repurchased any perfume because perfumes remind me of a certain phase in my life. Not that I don't want to remember them but it's easier for me to remember a particular period of my life with a unique scent. New perfume means new memories for me. That was possible when I'm only using one perfume at a time. Since I've accumulated some by now, I wish to associate each pefume with an emotion I want to feel. More on this on my succeeding posts for each perfume.

Even if I alrady have a sample now, I'm getting a full sized bottle of YSL Opium Vapeurs de Parfum! I just don't know when, and I hope it's not soon.
