parfum
I must say...it's very odd to call one's house and have a different, unknown voice pick up 9/10 times. And even more awkward to then ask if dad is home and have them tell me no...."thanks, I'll try the cell!" (AWKWARD...)
But it's cool. It's climbing season up in Alaska and at any given moment, there are probably 1 or 2 climbing groups just chillin at the casa. I haven't been in AK for all the climbing fun since I was a little girl...and this time around, it's very different, because there are college groups that come from Korea. (insert huge grin)
...maybe next year I'll be there for the fun. Big bbq's by the lake, karaoke....and lots of alcohol in the house all the time, because those climbers like themselves some booze.
So let's do the math: summer + lots of (sometimes young) men (and women, not so fun) + grill + alcohol + karaoke + the lake = PARADISE, SORT OF!
Went perfume hunting today, and found some fantastic new scents (pour femme et pour homme!):
Pour femme....
1. Chloe - Collection 2005: Ah....heaven. It's a perfectly balanced mix of fruits (pear, passionfruit), musk, and floral (gardenia) scents...there's nothing overbearing about it. It's the three s's: soft, sophisticated, but sexaaaay as hell, like anything Chloe.
2. Hermes - Eau des Merveilles: I'm usually not a fan of Hermes fragrances; most of the ones I've come across are so citron they make me want to vomit. But this fragrance is actually heaven. It's similar to Chloe, but it's a little heavier, a little more mature. Of course both scents are very french, but they vary a bit...Hermes is more for a parlour, and Chloe is more for frolicking in an outdoor market during the day. Eau des Merveilles is just so elegant, just the right mix of floral and musk. And there's that trace of the signature Hermes citron, but it's not nauseating.
3. Stella McCartney - Stella: This scent is all about the rose, so it's really feminine and lush. It's dark and stella-sexy. I didn't know Stella McCartney had a fragrance line, but she does and it is glorioussss!
1. Carolina Herrera - Aqua: mmmm...I think any guy wearing this will be attacked by flocks of women. Or at least by flocks of me, because this scent is amaaazing. I love Carolina, she's my signature (maybe not anymore) so maaaybe I'm a little biased. Whatever. It smells fucking fantastic. And like any other Carolina fragrance, really elegant. Some notes in the scent are...sea mist, mandarin, lavendar, rosemary, amber, musk...the notes may sound feminine, but the fragrance itself is very masculine.
Mmmmm...
so there you have it. if you're freaked out that I just wrote a review for perfumes, then you need to be clued in on something:
I'm obsessed with perfumes.
It's an art! The right perfume can do wonders for anyone. Some believe that Creed is my calling (okay maybe only Teri). Mmmmmmmmmmmm I heart parfum. Okay anyway, time to finish my resume, I procrastinate too much. (could you tell?)
