Sadly, my memories aren't happy ones so I avoid scents with those notes. My current favs are Ellensia by Penhaligon (British) with violet leaf at its core, and L'Eau Issey with a green/floral mix.

It is very distinctive but alas I've not worn it for ages. <br /><br />Eau De Rochas was another favourite of that time and both bring back my 20s. If I close my eyes I could be entering a 'time warp' the sounds and smells still acute in my senses.<br /><br />These days I love DOT by Marc Jacobs and SAFARI for women by Ralph Lauren. Wearing them now is creating another 'time warp' I can visit, when, hopefully, I am in my 70s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-44616512979271545862014-08-13T23:18:02.559-04:002014-08-13T23:18:02.559-04:00AMBUSH!

She loved trying new things, though, and eventually Natori, Angel, and especially Estee Lauder's Beautiful became her signature scents. <br /><br />And as for men's fragrances, some are just hypnotic!

I try to attend my local Nordstrom's Fragrance Fair twice a year, and minis are usually part of the gifts for attendees, along with custom bottles you can have engraved while waiting. Swanky! :)<br /><br />I won't even try a perfume if I don't like the bottle or the designer.
