It's a Perfume Post!

[manoah]

And it's really long! And with pictures (I hope!)


I want to say it was a post by teragramm that got me thinking about perfume. The first one I can remember using was Avon's Field Flowers:

and also what my mom used, Somewhere by Avon:

and yes, I had that bottle.

Another Avon smell was Sweet Honesty:

Yup, I had that jug.

As I got older, I moved on to Love's Baby Soft (didn't we all?):


I thought I was very sophisticated using Emeraude:


Back to being Sheeple with Charlie:


And then I hit high school, emphasis on high. Went right for the musk:
and saved the Patchouli for special times, heh:


I think someone gave me Chloe as they were sick of the musk:


I really loved this scent while I was in college, Anais, Anais:


Going out to party? Giorgio of course!:


When I got married, I picked my Poison:

I still love this.

When I was pregnant and when The Heir was wee I was all about Sunflowers:


That got old and too strong for the littles and I moved to Cool Water:

I still like this.

As I got older, although I still enjoy certain scents, it got to be a bit much. I moved to The Body Shop and Bath and Body Works:

this goes well with Mary Kay's Warm Amber:


and I use this a lot. I really like Jasmine!


My go-to summer scent? Lavender! Suave makes a lovely Lavender and Vanilla:


I seem to skew back and forth between really strong and really light scents. I'm Yin and Yang I guess!

What a lovely list! I love how perfume bottles used to be works of art. Nowadays they're just mostly simple, practical bottles.

Check now, I think I fixed it. There was an extra set of marks that I deleted and it seems to have worked, at least on my end.

Unfortunately no - I am reading on an iPad though.

Well poo. I can see it on my computer and my tablet. Dunno what the problem is. Darn technology. ;)

Hello to all bloggers and readers ... My name is Ruslan, we'll be acquainted =) I'm from Ukraine. I'm sorry that I'm distracting you. I ask you not to think that this is spam and do not delete this message, read to the end and we will be very grateful to you;) I am a volunteer, we are a group of people in different cities and countries who independently help the children. I think you know that officially most means and help do not reach the children, so we decided to try to help ourselves at least a little. Since there is a lot of fraud in the network, I write to you in the commentaries, without creating any pages on the Internet, as most will think that this is just spam. You do not need to respond to this message, if you are not interested just ignore it. In any case, I wish all the best to you and your children :) As you know, the summer holidays are approaching, and we collect funds for children from different countries and cities who have problems from orphanages, for those who have lost their comrades in hostilities. To send children to the camps and sanatoriums. We do not ask you about the impossible, even if you transfer us $ 1, we will be very grateful to you :)
Accounts for funds transfer:
skrill (Moneybookers): wixnnxer@bigmir.net
neteller: wixnnxer@bigmir.net

We use these accounts in Ukraine, since we have a lot of prohibitions for money transfers in our country. Sorry for the inconvenience.
