olfactory.

I have the strangest obsession with men's cologne. I'm not entirely sure what it is but that masculine smell leaves me content. One time while I was working, there was this woman that kept asking "is this supposed to be a men's cologne?" for almost every woodsy scent we carried. A good sales person always tells half the truth and would reply "well that's up to your own personal preference." However, I was so curious as to why she was so into these "men" scents...and then I found out she was like me, she was more inclined to choose men's cologne over women's perfume.

We all have scents that we are obsessed with, that leave an imprint in our mind either because you are attracted to it or some pleasant memory is associated with it. There was always this one scent that whenever I smelled it on a person passing by I would immediately be distracted because it was so perfect. But it was always gone before I could really figure it out. I'm not sure what attracted me to this scent or what the memory associated with it was...I just knew I really needed to find it. It wasn't until years of constantly being distracted by this scent that I noticed it lingering on one of my guy friends, he happened to be wearing Versace Eau Fraiche and it smelled exactly like what I was looking for. The bonus was that it wasn't so masculine that I couldn't wear it, so after a week of testing it out to see if people liked it...I bought it.

As I go on in life I begin to realize I'm quite in tune with my senses, or rather sensitive to my surroundings ...which has its ups and downs. As you can see I have these Hervé Gambs flowers which act as a diffuser after you spray a scent on it. I tend to mix it with a cedar scent and the versace scent, for the perfect blend. So now, every time I enter my room I enter into a state of zen, serenity and happiness. Anyways sorry about the lengthy post! What scents bring you to serenity? 

here's a flower...a token of love for all my readers. <3
