I was never all that interested in fragrances so idk if it was the fact that I just wanted to try sth new and some mini perfume were on sale + I had my whole paycheck with me or if it was your blog's influence or both but I got myself some perfumed water while on shopping day.
Wish I could describe them properly but all I can say is that one smells like. Wood. Cozy wood? And the other is like. Fresh but not cold if that makes sense?
Idk I'm just happy I'm trying new things and thought I'd share ;w;
OH MY GOODNESS! I'M SO TOUCHED!!! ;w; 💞
I can't believe that I'm actually making anyone interested in perfumes 'n' fragrances, you know? But that's exactly what I wanna set out to do, especially because I used to believe fragrance wasn't for me. I'm so proud of you for trying something new! And I hope you found something you enjoy! And if you're not in love with them, that's okay too, because you can learn what scents you don't like and can avoid! It's all a very personal journey!
And hey, you are describing them properly! It's all just about describing your take and experience with it! "Cozy wood" is ABSOLUTELY a mood. And "fresh but not cold" paints quite a picture too! I honestly think the best descriptions are often the ones we make right off of the dome.
I'm a writer at heart and so sometimes I can get excessively wordy or fantastical when I'm describing fragrance, but I often think that the best descriptions come from people who just say exactly what they smell. When I get too caught up in "I don't know why I don't love this, but I don't, what's the words for what's wrong with it?" And my wife pipes in and says "It smells like Play-Doh" or my coworker says "It's kinda like wet dog", it blows my mind. Sometimes, it's as simple as that, and that's honestly beautiful!
It also takes practice to learn new smells, especially since most things are a hodgepodge of things that we've never smelled before. I've never smelled a wisteria or a bergamot in person, but I know I like wisterias in perfume and I hate bergamot! (Would it be bergamots? Bergamonts? Who knows.) So the more you try, the more you learn!
