Back in college I wore a victoria's secret perfume that was bottled in a gold and blue box. This was way before they changed their image to "pink", etc. and created a new look for themselves. It was a light sweet fragrance and I did get lots of complements on it. I first smelled it on a paralegal at a law firm I worked for part-time during college. I was intimidated to ask about her perfume but an aunt of mine was wearing the same thing one day and she told me where she got it. For a few years, I would get that bottle of perfume from my aunt during birthdays and Christmas. Then they stopped making it and I wanted a different scent. I went with my cousin one year to buy her mom a limited edition (at that time) Chanel fragrance: Gardenia. The scent was really pretty so we both decided to buy one for ourselves as well. It's a little stronger and it does have staying power I think. It's a very sweet scent.
It was this trip that I learned about Bulgari's green tea scent. We went to the store and the lady at the counter mentioned that it's very light and also noted that nurses like the scent because it's allergy-free. You can apply and apply and the scent won't be over-powering at all. This is the one I wear all the time now...
My collection of used bottles...makes for a nice display but I think I do need to start recylcling...
The other day, I went to Bloomingdales to pick up another bottle since I ran out and next to the counter was a Hanae Mori rep. They sold me on the No. 2 scent. It's also light though I think a bit stronger than my green tea scent. I love the graphics on the bottle.
Bulgari's Green Tea is my all time favorite though. I do prefer the cologne to the perfume. There is a difference between the two when you compare them.
Do you have a favorite fragrance?
