New scents

Although I am an extremely picky girl when it comes to scents, I have almost fallen in love with two perfumes. The weird thing is that both of them are produced by Calvin Klein, I stopped buying their products a couple of years ago. Ok, the first one is Euphoria and I found out about it a couple of weeks ago. I saw the commercial obsessively aired on TV, but it did not make me wanna rush and try it. I liked the packaging though, and the colour of the perfume, namely pink. But one day, when I was on my way to the library (yeah, to the good old library) I decided to go to the mall and buy ‘Coco Mademoiselle’. I got there and I was looking for the Chanel corner, but I did not see it, so I decided to ask for help from the nice sale ladies. And guess what they told me? “Sorry, we do not carry Chanel products”! Shock! I started asking myself “Well, if this is the only mall in town, where from did I buy the No. 5 a couple of months ago?!”. On second note, that girl was smart, cause I only mentioned the name of the perfume, not the producer, and she knew it was from Chanel (yea, I am used to ignorant sale ladies when it comes to buying branded cosmetic products here; once such a ‘helper’ told me to try the foundation I wanted to buy for myself on the fair-skinned girl who was accompanying me, though I have a rather dark complexion; samra all the way, yupeee!). So I turned around, because I wanted to leave, but I was set on buying perfume mode. Then the pink advert for Euphoria caught my eye. I asked for the tester. Of course they sprayed it on a piece of paper, duuuuh, I have no clue why they adamantly use paper all the times! When testing for perfumes, everybody knows that rule no. 1 is “Do not try smelling the perfume sprayed on paper, smell it only on skin itself”. So I proceeded accordingly and I was pleasantly surprised. I sniffed the spicy notes instantly, this is a good sign. I was very much reminded of the orient and its heavy perfumes, its hypnotic fragrances, I had to buy it. So I choose the 30 ml version, EDP, because I had no clue how it was going to behave.

And because my budget was not affected that very much, I also tried Obsession Night (I used to love the old Obsession, the one that came on the market in the ‘80s, but this one is even better, though I do not usually believe in the ‘new and improved’ products). Obsession Night is even spicier than Euphoria! So I bought that one too… My tastes are changing, I used to buy CK One when I was a teenager, I still have around 15 ml in a bottle, cause I do not like it anymore; and of course Eternity from CK – I have Eternity Perfume and Eternity Moment, I was obsessed with them when I was in high school, now I do not like them, I spray them on my skin sometimes but they do not inspire me in any way.
