As I was looking up some of these perfumes on the web, I got interested in how perfumes are classified. This is probably not that interesting to anyone else but I know, I’m a nerd. Some of the descriptions are hilarious, I’m thinking you have to specialize in “perfume description writing”. And then some places say “recommended use: romantic occasions”. How funny is that?

Last weekend, I spent four hours at the Stanford mall. It was heaven! I actually didn’t buy too much, mostly make-up and moisturizers and other girly things. But my best purchase was a new perfume. I don’t know what it is about perfumes, no one can see it but sometimes it can be more powerful than buying a new outfit or getting a haircut. It can definitely change how you feel.

I have been using the same perfume since high school. It’s Armani by Giorgio Armani. About 8 years ago, they stopped selling it in the U.S. Now, whenever I travel, I have to stock up on that. I like it still and it’s sort of like an ex-boyfriend that you keep going back too.

But sometimes I feel like I need a change and I then decide to try a new perfume. So I just purchased YSL Nu. And I’m loving it. Who knows, maybe Armani has met its match. These are the perfumes I have tried/used/stopped using/loved/grown tired of/bathed in/etc since the age of 15.

Stumble it!
