Perfumes. @ 12:23 AM

So I've been looking at perfumes online, and I found a site called basenotes.net that describes the anatomy of a perfume.  I didn't know there was such a thing, but I've spent hours on it.


Fragrances I want:

Unforgiveable Woman by Sean John
True Star (for women) by Tommy Hilfiger
Bright Crystal by Versace




All these are really, really girly fragrances.  Very youthful and ultrafeminine.  I think that the choices people make in life, especially relating to clothes and fragrance, sort of reflect the deepest parts of their character, and apparently I'm very, very young and feminine in how I present myself.  I sort of like that.


Perfumes I'm intrigued by:

Juicy Couture
Prada (new)
Touch of Pink by Lacoste
Clinique Simply


I like Juicy Couture for its youth, and I've actually never smelled Prada, but its sophistication intrigues me.  I hope it's not too thick or serious or old.  Touch of Pink seems feminine enough for my tastes.  As for Simply.....it's not normally a fragrance I'd choose, I think.  In fact, it's sort of unusual, apparently.  White flower and Soy Milk....hmm.  It's very wintery, apparently, but also loveable and...well...simple.  It's also discontinued, so if I want to smell it again I'll have to order it online.  Even if I don't like it I'll keep it.  I imagine Anna will like it regardless....she's all about the wintery, vanilla-y smells, and I think she does like the smell of soy milk.
