A Signature Scent



It's safe to say that perfumes are some of the most beautiful and satisfying objets to collect - after lipsticks, obviously. There's something irresistible about those oh-so-chic glass bottles that instantly dress up any bedroom. I've noticed during the past few years that most women do love indeed to build a perfume collection to then pick one from the lot every morning as one choses an outfit. As much as I admire those collections and sometimes feel a bit frustrated myself for my lack of it, I chose to remember one of the many advices my Mum gave me ; a perfume is your signature. It is partly what people know you for, sometimes why strangers will notice you on the streets, how your loved ones recognize and remember you. We all ought to have a signature scent. Some women prefer to wear several, some chose a few different ones depending on the time of the day or the seasons. I like to have a second perfume for special occasions such as nights out - my scent of choice is the very dark and sexy Tom Ford Velvet Orchid - but most of the time I remain faithful to my one true love, Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. I've worn this perfume for as long as I can remember and even though I sometimes struggle not to succumb to the very daunting perfume section in department stores and adopt a new one,  I wouldn't give mine up for the world. 

What is your signature scent ?
