Be still my beating heart!
I am finding that my love of perfumes is expanding in a most unusual direction. I have for many years now scorned the modern and very generic "fruity/floral" fragrances that have flooded the market. I do not have disdain for sweet perfumes, I love Gucci Eau De Parfum by Gucci, now sadly discontinued, or the sweetness of a rose in Moment de Bonheur by Yves Rocher. I have even been tempted by the juicy lychee in Miracle by Lancôme. However, the sugary berry or candy sweetness of recent perfumes haven't impressed me in the slightest. I used to quite like Black XS and Black XS L'Excès by Paco Rabanne, but then I stopped smoking and suddenly found it too intensely sweet! So I am rather perplexed with what is happening to me .
Since the weather has started to warm up this spring, I have suddenly found myself craving sweetness in my perfumes. The sweetness I used to reach for would be rose and citrus, but now...horror of horrors, dare I say it? Sweet fruity perfumes are calling to me...even ones with a slight candy vibe to them! Oh I am a philistine! I am lost! I bought Pink Sugar Sensual by Aquolina - I know I should run and hide my face from all who wear classic beauties, but the truth is I'm really loving it. I then went a bought DKNY Golden Delicious Intense, which is gorgeously sweet but with a sharp bite to it. I am now looking to buy something else with a sweet gourmand note...me? I don't like gourmand, this isn't me! But it seems that now it is.
I am a little lost, I don't know where to start, it is a new journey for me! I am pleased in one way that I am able to enjoy more types of fragrances and I will be expanding my collection, but it does feel weird to be the woman who loves leather and aoud to go looking for sweet gourmand perfumes. But hey, life's too short to be negative about it, so I embrace my new found desire and quote William Mountfort's Zelmane: "Ha! hold my Brain; be still my beating Heart."
