The array of bottle sits on the shelf- which one to choose? Do you choose by label? By colour? By aroma?
No, I’m not talking wine bottles! I’m talking perfume bottles.
I’m not a “girlie” girl by any stretch of the imagination. Can’t really be bothered with all the fuss and faffing with hair, nails and make-up but I do like to wear perfume.
The only issue with this is that I’m allergic to the vast majority of them. I may love the scent but sadly most of them don’t love me.
Through trial and error over the years and a lot of sneezing and irritated patches of skin, I’ve found a core suite of fragrances by Philosophy that I stick with.
So, how do you decide which one to wear for the day?
Me? I tend to choose based on my emotions and mood.
The logic of this is as follows-
Pure Grace – for the days when you want to feel fresh and clean all day. A simple uncluttered day.
Amazing Grace – for those rare days when I’m feeling confident (A bottle lasts quite a long time)
Summer Grace – for when it’s a gorgeous day out and the world around you feels good or, at least, you want it to.
Pure Summer Grace – for the days when you need a reminder of a summer beach day (this bottle never lasts long!)
Baby Grace- my favourite – A scent for when you need to feel reassured. The one that whispers “Everything’s going to be ok.” A hug in a bottle.
So what kind of day are you having today?
