What is the ultimate luxory? I guess it depends on the person and the situation they are in. Some might say freedom and others a walk- in closet with a 100 pair of shoes.
As a single mom the biggest luxory for me is time...time to do nothing, time to my self, time to be alone or with friends and/or boyfriend. But one luxory has been constant for me since I was about 10 years old. It is an absolute unecessary thing and maybe that is why it feels soooo damn luxorious to me. I am talking about perfume. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine walking around the perfume department looking at all the beautiful bottles, like jewells glistening on the shelves. The scent of vanilla, blackcurrant, cedarwood, almonds, citrus, apples, liqourice(! yes I have one...), cinnamon and maybe musk. Not lilys...not roses...not my thing. I usually fall for sweet, warm, spicy and kind of heavy perfumes. I love when I find a perfume that makes me wanna eat myself if you know what I mean. *smiles*
And I love the hunt...to find new favorites...to have 5 must haves on my wishlist...to have a perfume that my friend have not discovered yet. Vain? Me? ....hell yes!
So for all you boys out there who want to make your woman happy - buy her perfume!( Anything from Jean-Paul Gaultier or Dolce et Gabbana smells wonderful.)
And if you feel Chantal Thomass (the pale one with a black mini garder around the bottle) in the air...it might be me. ;)

Ever heard of Chypres Rouge from Serge Luetns - that's my current fav!
ReplyDeleteNope...never heard of it. Is it for men or women or both?
ReplyDeleteOooh, the scent of a woman!!! I miss most of all the scent of a woman .. especially an new one! ...*lol*... a smell i have never smelt before ... combine that with a sensual connection and KAPPOWWW - *dreams are made of these*
ReplyDeleteHaha ...amazing! ... the scent of a woman can be just so powerful ... or is it 'smell' itself that has the power over us?
I can tell u how powerful smell can be!! It was only recently, like a year or so ago, that i was in a public place, just making my way through a crowd of people, as one does ..... and all of a sudden, it was like being hit between the eyes with a hammer ... this aroma attacked my olfactory senses ...... OMG it was so powerful ... WHY?? Because it was the VERY PERFUME that my very first girlfriend used to wear, way back when i was seventeen!!!
And what is more the sensation in my nostrils was as if i had just left her .... so powerful was the memory recall, until a sense of melencholy moved in to replace it *smile*
Ohhhh yes ... the scent of a woman!! ... OMG!! Now how did i miss this on my web page about 'perfection'
The tragedy about smells of course is that you can never remember them until u smell them again ... they are not that sort of memory one can evoke .. it is the smelling of the aroma that invokes the memories associated with that smell ....
*time machine anybody?*
I listened to the radio the other day and they were discussing smells. People called in and talked about their favorite smells. Me and my bf discussed it too and made top 5 lists. Very hard to do...among the things we liked were: basil, lime/lemons, asphalt after a spring or summer rain, new cut grass, a certain type of jasmine and the smell of a forest in autumn...I beleive that smell is one our most powerful sense. And like you said Jamar...it holds our memories and links us to our history. Too bad noone has invented a way to capture and save smells. A smell snap-shot...that would be great! :)))
