scentimental journey

was thinking today of how closely fragrance is tied to memory.

that got me to thinking of how many "most favorite ever" fragrances i've had in my lifetime.

the longest running favorite has been bath and bodies freesia---but i don't wear it anymore.

dennis has bought me some very expensive fragrances as gifts but the more costly they were, the quicker the onset of the migraine after application to my skin....very weird

strawberry oil was the fragrance of post high school, followed closely by patchouli oil.
incense and peppermints, if ya get my drift.....(the lost years).....

baby magic was the fragrance of the 80's for me--too busy with raisin' babies to have time to apply perfume, for god's sake!!!!!

that was followed by the freesia period.

nowadays i mostly like the fragrances i smell on other people.

what fragrances are tied to the memories of your life???













one of the girls in the "cool clique" wore this....

should have been declared taboo because it smelled so bad.....

lauerman's sold this by the barrel-ful in the summer. it sold as well as "summer blonde" haircolor.

"your wind song stays on his, wind song stays on his mind....."

the "forbidden" fragrance--what a temptation for a catholic girl.....

there were a couple girls at the ice rink who wore this fragrance--you could smell 'em coming from across the whole rink!

my favorite fragrance back when i had a "london boy" haircut and used to stop at brook's drug store to buy little bags of cashews and red pistachios.
