On my second bottle...
It is rare for me to buy a second bottle of any perfume these days, now that I've amassed more juice than can be consumed in ten lifetimes. It happened with Ellen Tracy TRACY, though, because it is so eminently wearable in public settings such as the library, that I often reach for it while dashing out the door when I want to scent myself but need something fast and safe and likeable. And it is.
TRACY falls into the category of fragrances, new to the twenty-first century, as far as I know, which really should be labeled SSRIs. This is because such compositions are cheery and uplifting, light and nice, but perfumey enough to create gentle wafts of delight while walking around in the heat. They are so affable that it's hard to believe that they could offend anyone. (I see, however, below, my perfume pal Awesomeness does not agree! (-;)
This composition, in particular, is a bright and slightly sweet floral. It has got to be mostly if not entirely synthetic, given that my latest bottle cost all of $10 for 2.5 oz (at TJMAXX), but somehow it does not fall apart and really smells much better than most of the newly launched fragrances of this type--I mean the ones which are sourced from a big vat but heavily marketed (making them coveted perfumes despite their poor quality) and for which one therefore pays five or six times this price for lower quality juice.
Whenever I wear TRACY, I find myself smiling at how good I smell. To my nose, it is an instant mood elevator. I smell violets, almond, iris, sandalwood and what not, and it's all blended together in a creamy yet somehow also clean composition. I like it. I do.
