Signature Scent!

Hello Lovelies,

Fragrances are our identities...mirror images...whatever! I am a person who does not like to change my identity often! But, does it mean something to our loved ones? There are people who change perfumes daily. Dont you think we are missing something like a recognition.....which is really devastating. I always thought sense of smell plays a vital role in sense of familiarity...

Thats what we tend to take with us like their memories...things unspoken...

Some of you must be identifying me as a Davidoff-addict! I have been to India this June for my brother's wedding...my hubby still in UK! The time came when he has to come to India...was on a shopping spree! He has been to Debenhams, one of the high-end stores in UK! He bought some perfumes and was given some 20 samples...

Among them was this cute baby lying...waiting for attention! Calvin Klein Euphoria! I dont want to ramble much about this, but just trying to know about your perspective on having a signature scent!

I am 200% signature-scent person and I would always love to be the same! But, there might be cases when you have to change your scent...like when you get bored...or interests occupied by something else...or things that get your attention of late!

My latest will remain Calvin Klein Euphoria! Try to sniff this once, or else you are missing something sweet and enchanting! Somebody, teach me how to speak.......

Fragrance men like on women

Freshly bathed, sweet smelling with just a hint of soap is hard to resist! Perfumes make women feel attractive, confident and feminine! If you wear a fragrance your partner likes, it demonstrates that you are paying attention and making an effort to please him. Consequently, it strokes his ego. Hence the name, scent of love!

If you want to find out the fragrance your man likes on you, take him over to the perfume counter and make him smell the samples at a slower pace. It is believed that a cup full of coffee grounds to sniff in between helps him refresh his sense of smell.

Men can remember things in a more positive light with some fragrances on women, especially vanilla. Chances are good with flowery notes. So, it is rather love at first scent!

Your best fragrance is the one that makes you feel good about yourself. But, partner's choice is much much more important! Many might have even come across the response from their men "Its just you" when asked about their favourite fragrance on their women.

Whats yours Shilp? I know you are a perfume-addict! Be honest and share your views on perfumes you ever tried!

Fragrance Memories

As observed, women associate fragrances to memories. It is said that the way we use fragrances evoke pleasant reactions. Conscious or unconscious, fragrance causes people to react in ways that are beneficial to us.

Most of us are unaware of the effects of fragrance on our moods. Did you ever smell a fragrance that took you back to the pleasant memories of past? Of course, there can be unpleasant memories. But, we always make sure we cherish only the fond memories.

Many of us choose perfumes and deodorants to create a signature. Every single soul has a fragrance, which can be associated with a person, place or event in particular. Such is the intimacy between fragrance and memory. It is not unusual to mix many flavours to get a desired fragrance, too.

My fragrance is Davidoff Cool Water since my wedding, the only one my DH prefers. Inspite of the repeated laundry, our wedding clothes still give away the scent of Davidoff. It is clean, refreshing, subtle yet powerful. You can definitely make a statement with it.

Old Cinthol soap reminds me of my summer holidays and the adventures I made as a kid. Post bath, it smells great with old Cinthol. The scent of Nycil powder reminds me of the prickly heat in the summers! Ouchhhhhh... this prickly heat hurts!!! J Coconut oil reminds me of the school days (mom trying to apply oil before braiding the hair in the morning). At times, Fair & Lovely and Gokul remind me of my mom. It helped me easily find out that my mother was somewhere near and I used to pretend stunts with books. Old spice after shave and Charlie (original) perfume reminds me of my father. I used to feel safe and secure with that smell around me for some unknown reason. It always made me feel that my father was somewhere there to protect us. I hope many of us had that experience, especially in case of father. Similarly, there are many scents I can associate my brother and each and every family member with.

I have bad memories, too! I hate the smell of vaseline (body moisturizer with that sweet kinda smell). It reminds me of some people of least importance in my life. Consequently, I always make sure that there is not even a single hint of vaseline in my home or around me as I always tend to carry happiness wherever I go! I always felt that we should avoid the fragrances associated with bad memories in our lives for the better.

That's me...........
