i am not a big perfume changer. i find something i love and i will wear it for years. i read today that scent and memory are tied together. i must say i certainly have always felt that way.
when i was a young girl i wore a scent called sweet honesty. i remember smelling it many years later and it brought me right back to my locker in high school.
this very week last year my husband and i were on vacation in italy. while in venice i bought some perfume that i absolutely loved. it is incredible to me how every time i spray it, i can honestly close my eyes and feel like i am right back in that city, in that moment. it has had a profound effect on me, but that vacation itself had such a profound effect on me. we had postponed that trip for years and while we were there i truly believe there was some divine intervention where all the stars lined up to make for the most incredible time of our life. this morning when i sprayed that perfume it truly helped me relive all of the beautiful moments from
one year ago.
we are excited to be planning a new vacation where we will make new memories and i will remember to buy a scent i love that can be tied to new moments.
love sent, xo

Loved reading your blog this morning. It's so true how scents can bring you back. (pon)
I tie so many memories to certain fragrances that I purposely save 3/4 of every bottle.
My husband bought me perfume for a wedding gift and now I only wear it for special occasions. Every time I wear it I immediately feel butterflies like I did right before I walked down the aisle.
