Totally on the same page with you on gifting perfume. But it’s the common and simplest gift for a lady. I’m glad I’m kinda OK with most perfumes lol although some do smells like pee after some time on me 🙁
]]>My story. I did purchased a perfume called Clinique Happy with my first pay cheque. I love the immediate citrusy burst intermingled with the floral note underneath, it refreshed my senses. Love the cheerful orange cap and straight bottle. A instant burst of happiness for me whenever I need it for special occasion. Alas it broke from slipping off from my hands. My heart shattered at that instant. I quickly soak them up with the tissue almost all of it, dropped them into a cleaned sauce jar, dilute them with ethanol, decant them into a spray bottle. The most that I can do to save the 90% full perfume is to spritz them everyday like cologne. I couldn’t forgive myself hence stopped buying perfume ever since.
I count myself lucky because I won a few perfumes ever since the sad incident. I have got Burberry Body which I gave away to a friend for her birthday, Miss Dior, Calvin Klein Reveal, Sisley Izia, and Lancome Tresor In Love (exchange from MAS flight points). Having been working part time as a cashier in perfume section during school days in 1995, I developed a liking for old school perfume from Lancome Tresor. I think Parisian still got the best talent for creating timeless perfume.
