Serious Perfume Obsession

I've always stayed away from perfume for some reason. It just didn't seem like it'd be worth the high price tag just to spray yourself with some water and stuff and have it last just a few hours. That's my problem. Perfume never lasted more than a couple of hours on me. However, that's before I finally figured out how to make my scent last (which I'll do a separate post on ), and after I got a hold of some good perfumes. And now, I'm in the deep end of a total perfume obsession. For me, perfume went from a pointless luxury to a new level of self-expression, and I realized that there were so many great things about perfume.
. A certain scent can bring back memories of people, places, events, etc. This is such a powerful feeling for me. Some fragrances I sniff make me recall a person I love, or a vacation in the tropics, or the excitement of a big city. It's not really something that I can do justice with in words, it just needs to be experienced. . Perfume is such a mood boost. I have never been (and probably never will be) a morning person, but the instant I spray on my perfume, I am wide awake, and I feel so happy. And if I'm feeling tired or stressed during the day, I just need to sniff my wrist, and some of those happy feelings come back to me. . It helps me express myself- my personality, my feelings, etc. -in ways that words could never do justice. It's so personal. . It's intriguing. There are so many different kinds of perfume, and shopping for a new one is so interesting and exciting. Also, perfume in itself is like a science, with the different notes, scent families, concentrations and compositions, pulse points, etc.
