I realize there are a lot of variables that can affect how we interpret a given fragrance. But can specific fragrances smell different depending on a person’s mood or possibly illness or maybe emotional disposition? I tried a fragrance awhile back and really didn’t like it when I first smelled it. A few weeks later I tried it again and I actually liked it better. I also tried a fragrance a couple of weeks ago when I was dealing with some sinus headache issues and didn’t like it at all, but now I find it somewhat appealing. I guess I’m wondering if individual fragrances ever come across differently to a person, depending on that person’s circumstance at the moment. Just curious! (stock photo)

My wife added this to our collection without telling me 😬 It’s a 10ml so it’s still relatively reasonable. Since I’m a NY’er and have a party tonight overlooking the city I decided to take it Empire for a spin!! Another “cute” bottle for our collection!! These 10ml have been defined indelibly with the word cute by @Paul Bartnicki 😜

This weekend there are some great events happening and I was supposed to try and meet @Lon Chaneyfield but I’ve been taking care of my parents the last few weekends and haven’t had a lot time for anything else. That’s the sadness part due to elderly care and the eventual coming of saying goodbye. Because of this, self care is of importance for me, so I have my fragrances to smell in between moments of parental care. That’s the happiness… With that, I was on Instagram and saw this video which made me tear up at first, then cry. This is the power of scent, the appreciation of fragrance, and the social aspect of our community and of this group. Enjoy.

Started off meeting this guy!!! @Antonio Centeno !!!
