aquatics
latest collection -- RALPH by Ralph Lauren.its really not my usual scent because the top note is too flowery. Its too much. But somehow, it settles into a very oceanic like scent. Which is really weird because i have been scouring the web for user's description of this fragrance and not one person mentioned that ocean scent i experienced. Its sort of tangy-salty-sea-breeze which reminds me of the beaches in Phuket.
So i have a thing for fresh scents. I like fruity more than floral. Orientals is certainly not my cup of tea. Sometimes i like scents which settles into a powdery-talc form such as Kenzo's Flower and Lolita Lempicka. I like the apple in DKNY's Be Delicious, apparently Ralph has apple leaves too... I love the aquatics. Still, Issey miyake is by far the best i've ever come across! Its aqua with fruity, zesty scent is a very fine balance lending it such an intricate complexity.
I have a L'eau par Kenzo which i really don't like now. I use to like it for its whimsical quality. Its got a very watery feel to it, can't think of how to describe it. But now, it seems that the grassy smell is becoming too much. I never noticed its that grassy till now. Which reminds of ISsey's new summer fragrance -- smells like a barn and i have never been to one! haha.. And L'eau par kenzo just disappear so quickly...
The fragrance that you wear has to make you feel good. Make you feel like a million dollars at least! It makes you happy, puts u in a semi delirious state - in a good way. Actually, DKNY and Issey really has that effect on me. Flower just doesn't last for long so the happiness is very short-lived :(
I tried something from escada today. Its called Blue or ocean or something like that. AND OMG, its super lasting, its still on me after a shower. but u know what, it smells totally like a men's cologne on me!!
Interestingly, Curious by britney is nice. There is a grape like gummy feel to it without being overly sweet. A simple fragrance, nothing really special i guess. Oh, i didn't buy it in then end. Seriously, can't imagine owning something by Britney!!
can't wait to use Ralph tomorrow. Arh.. that funny escada is still on me!!
