P.S. How was your hump day? What did you do?
Floral or oriental? Floral for spring/summer; oriental for autumn/winter.
Body splash or scented lotion? Scented lotion. I have dry skin and am always slathering myself with lotion.

Floral or oriental?
I want to say Oriental so I can be all sexy and mysterious, but I actually gravitate towards simple florals like jasmine and gardenia.
Body splash or scented lotion?
Scented Lotion ALWAYS. And why stop at lotion? Give me a scented oil or heavy duty crime because my alligator skin needs to glow.
Byredo Gypsy Water or Chanel No. 5?
Byredo GW all the way. It makes me think of hidden libraries in a forest.
Citrus or gourmand? Citrus. I adore a simple Florida Water.

Before I tried some Gardenia enfleurage, I would’ve always said rollerball. But there exist a few parfum solids that have been blowing my mind!
Eau de parfum or eau de toilette?

Spray on wrist or spray on neck?
I’m a fragrance hoor, so both. But if I’m tied down on some train tracks until I chose 1, I’ll go with neck. I can enjoy it so much more.
Dior Poison or Calvin Klein Obsession?
Dior Poison…I think. I have memories of this as a very young child. An aunt wore it and I always think of her when I smell it.
French or Italian perfumes?
I will not choose. I am an equal opportunity fragrance hoor. I lust after all of them…and what about the Brits or the Spanish or Japanese or Brazilian perfumes? I find myself browsing Fragrantica constantly and loving the global variety of perfume. ❤️

Speaking of perfumes, Karen, you have to try DKNY Woman. I wore it in college when my suite-mate, a Norwegian exchange student, who was the coolest girl on campus, introduced me to it. They stopped making and I found it just last week at a Cosmetics Company Outlet store. They started making it again! I am so happy! It’s the most unique scent ever…very fresh and citrusy! I found it online too and I think I might stock up in case they stop producing it again!
