Thinking of you....that's the name of a new perfume from Mary Kay and it is lovely; but even better is that it reminds me of friends that I know who will love it. The fragrance gives you that long "sigh" feeling. Kind of like comfort food.
As I was thinking about the new perfume, I started thinking about how some fragrances remind me of certain people. I have a friend that has always worn Beautiful as long as I've known her. It's her signature and I love when I'm around her because I feel good when that fragrance floats through the air. I have another friend that loves Chanel...she has expensive but excellent taste. I think of the Chanel logo every time I see her.
One of my most vivid grade school memories revolves around perfume. My third grade teacher smoked at every break and I think she even snuck a smoke in the closet in our classroom at times...that smoke smell combined with the ever overly present Youth Dew perfume is forever pressed in my memory. She actually thought Youth Dew covered the smell of that cigarette smoke. Whenever I happen upon someone that still wears Youth Dew, it takes me right back to third grade and the dread I felt going into that classroom. I catch myself wanting to turn around and see if that teacher is nearby!
Perfume makes a statement - good and bad. I'm just glad I have experienced only one statement that was negative.
What perfume do you wear? Does it make a statement? Do people know you are close by just by the perfume you are wearing? Just wondering and "Thinking of You".
