I got home two hours ago and thought it was about time to do some housework. So I loaded the washingmachine, did the dishes (no, don't own a dishwasher, damn!), some dusting and vacuuming, put shattered clothes back to the drawers, recycled newspapers, took out the carbage etc etc. I knew there was a very cold and tempting can of Kopparberg's applecider waiting for me in the fridge when I had my job done. Now I am slowly sipping it while writing today's thoughts.
Everytime I do the dishes I let my mind wonder on something totally different, this time I was thinking about smells, and perfumes in particular!! I am not addicted to make up, admit having clothes I don't wear, but my true obsession is perfume! Yes! Just one look at my bathroom closet reveals that I have 7 different kinds of bottles right now! Seven is my lucky number by the way! There are some bottles waiting for the summer, and then there are some I like to wear now. It has been only a few times that I've liked a certain scent so much I've bought more than one bottle, once it happened with Gucci's Envy and now for a second time with my number one smell ever, Kenzo's Flower! It's just damn delicious and perfect! It's ideal for winter actually, and I prefer to wear it in the evenings. Everytime I'm wearing it I just smell myself infatuated all the time, LOL!
Smells are strongly connected to the memories, suddenly you just travel back in time into a special place or a special person. Some guy wearing same aftershave as an ex from the past brings instant memories, maybe good ones or bad ones...sometimes the memory is too strong.
I think Chanel makes the best aftershaves, Antaeus and especially Egoiste Platinum makes my knees instantly weak. I like guys who smells good, not overly, but when you get close...
Then there are some natural smells that are just irresistible, like a clean, warm skin...maybe even better and sexier than the scent from a bottle. The ocean has a wonderfull smell, fresh bread, tar, some flowers...I'd be deeply sad to loose my sense of smelling.

Oh yeah, the word of smells is funny, isn't it?
I actually have one perfume for more than 10 years - it's "Laura" by Laura Biagotti, and normally, I use it each day. It fits to all other odors of myself (body, hair, sweat). *lol*
But sometimes, I also take other smells - dependent on my mood ;o)
Perfumes are definitely connected to moods, they can lift your spirits, make you feel sexy, whatever comes to your mind. If I'd go into a party with a nice dress, hair and make up all done but without perfume, it's like something's missing! Oh and Anja, I like Laura a lot, and when I think of you, it's really your kind of a perfume!
Oh yes, Laura Biagotti should rename her perfume into "Anja". ;o) *lol* I like it, because it smells like fresh air / spring odor / fruits / lightness - and it is unintrusive, that's very important for me!
Well, as I have a bronchitis for some days and cannot smell properly, I really miss all the smells and ordinary odeurs very much. *sigh* It must be horrible to lose your sense of smell ...
