Whats in a name?
I admit it-I am very susceptible to brand names. I have brought home expensive bottles of perfume only to find that the scent really isn’t for me. My solution to this problem is perfume samples.
I received 26 perfume samples as a gift with purchase from Nordstrom (woo hoo!). I numbered 26 squares of paper and sprayed each piece of paper with one of the samples . Then I put on a sleep mask and did a “blind smelling test” of the 26 samples. I spritzed my top 2 picks on each wrist and evaluated each scent every hour for 4 hours. After 4 hours I did the big reveal. My #1 pick was unexpected but delightful.
The top notes are a lovely balance of orange, rose and iris. The heart notes remain orange and blue iris with patchouli and musk starting to come through for the next two hours. After 4 hours my #1 pick was still going strong and remained fruity/blue iris with a hint of soft musk. I’m confident that I have found a perfume that works for me.
There was also an unexpected bonus. My #1 pick’s perfume bottle is delightful. The bottle itself is simply multifaceted crystal. The bottle is understated and elegant with a pale blue ribbon at it’s throat. And I know I will smile every time I see that bottle on my shelf because-surprise, surprise-my #1 pick is Tiffany.
