...to my perfume collection arrived on my desk a couple of weeks ago.
I discovered my love for fragrances when I was 18. It started with 'Dazzling Silver' by Estee Lauder and it was my signature scent for many years. Then I met Annabel when I was in my early 20s and she is a perfume fanatic and a great friend. She has the most amazing collection, one for every mood and occasion. Annabel taught me that it's okay not to have just one signature fragrance, but a few or in her case quite a lot. At that point 'Dazzling Silver' was so much part of my identity that it was a little scary when I tried new fragrances.
All of that has changed of course and when you open my medicine cabinet now there's quite a few perfumes in there and a good range of brands. They all smell amazing and have become my signature scents at different moods and stages of my life. All with a story behind them and their own little personalities.
L'Oreal was very generous to send me a bottle of 'Catch me' by Cacharel a couple of weeks ago. What a lovely surprise. Let's face it, you can never go wrong with a good bottle of perfume. I have been wearing it for the last couple of weeks to get a feel for it and also for it's character. Most importantly, test how my pH levels deal with it. Sometimes a perfume smells amazing on someone else or in the bottle but doesn't agree with you so well.
I am pleasantly surprised as at first I didn't think the fragrance was quite 'me'. I gave it a try however and I'm actually quite fond of it. It is fresh, light and girly with the typical Cacharel undertones which always conjures up images of Paris as their perfumes have a certain whimsy and romance to it.
All in all I am quite chuffed with the new addition to my collection and will continue to wear it when I am in a whimsical mood.
