As I was packing this morning for my flight to North Carolina, I was trying to decide which scents to take. After my last trip, where I almost lost several bottles of some of my favorite perfumes due to the new security measures, I had decided to just take decants (in my checked luggage, of course). But I just couldn't leave my Angel at home.
I have the refillable star bottle and I forget exactly how long I have had it. I started wearing Angel soon after she was introduced in 1992. I switched to the refillable bottle a few empty bottles later, since it seemed to be a money saver to buy that way. Anyway, that bottle has seen better days. It has one large chip after a near catastrophe on the garage floor, a smaller, but sharper chip after an undisclosed mishap, and nail polish stains after an unfortunate explosion in my purse. The silver lid has long ago lost its luster, and I'm slightly embarrassed to admit there is some dark green junk in the sprayer. But oh! the places she has been! I have taken Angel on five cruises to exotic ports, to both coasts of the US, to the most southern states, to the very tip of Northeast. Every trip that I have been on in the last 13 years or so, Angel has gone with me. I couldn't bear to leave her home this time, so I carefully packed her in my suitcase. Oh, I packed some decants too. Unlike my early years with Angel, I'm not exclusive to just her any more. But it's so nice to know that no matter what happens or where I end up, Angel will be there with me, ugly bottle and all.
