2 Of My Current Favorite Perfumes

A girl needs her perfume. Some have signature perfumes, some experiment. I fall into the second category. I experiment so much that I only buy rollers or trial sizes. But then recently I found 2 perfumes, that I could commit to. It wasn't tough at all. And you'll know why!


I walked into Sephora with a friend one day and just to caress my olfactory sensations picked up a bottle of Replica Lazy Sunday Morning & Oh Boy! It smelled beautiful. Yes, beautiful is what comes to my mind for this one. It feels so fresh, after shower. Not to sweet, not lemony at all, just floral & fresh. I suspect the presence of spearmint too, but I got no proof. But this is by far a favorite everyday perfume. Its not cheap though, but then it comes in a big bottle.

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA 'REPLICA' 


Well this was a birthday gift from M. He took me along to the store & asked me to choose a perfume. How romantic, well yes! Very Irresistible was glamorous, floral - in fact very floral, but with a freshness to it. It reminded me of a bouquet of roses intercepted with lemon leaves. I apply it all the time I am going out for something special. Makes me feel sexy!

La Perfumerie!

I walked into this room, and the moment I stepped in I knew where I was. A mixed heady smell of different perfumes swirl and swivel around you and almost confuses your senses. The girl who knows that I like Vanilla or floral or Fruity fragrances, is not sure anymore. The scent hits you. But then that's the life of a perfumer. Such was my experience at Tijon Perfumerie in St. Martin






The class started with a little bit of theory that of course included the famous Chanel No 5 and the Eu De Cologne and some other interesting information. Followed by a sensory exploration of some of Tijon's own perfumes. And guess what, you actually get to take along the one you like! So choose wise...

It follows with exploration of various scents, A test!...yes test! then an experience of a perfumer, which is right from finding the right smell to testing till bottling the final product. The owners John and Cindy are amazingly attentive and take you through this experience, like you were born to do this. In the end, everyone toasts with champagne and takes along the Perfume they make alongwith a bag 'Full' of goodies, which are all Tijon products! and all have SPF except the perfumes of course.
