Thoughts on perfumes

Perfumes to me are figuratively an extension of oneself. It is very important to figure out the type of scent you are comfortable with and one that matches your personality and lifestyle. And sample them, always! 

I swear by Chloe’s Eau de Parfum, always!! It is a very special fragrance for me. The aroma always makes me feel loved and reminds me of my special wedding day. The experience tied with the scent never fails to jog my memory and safeguard me with the fact that I am treasured by my family and friends. And my husband loves it on me too.
