Hello I am a newbie to this forum and also to the world of perfumes.
I have been facinated with fragrances since I was about 4 years old and my mother would pat my hair with a fragrance called "that's my girl" I think it was from Avon but I'm not sure.
I have tried countless perfumes over the years. Sometimes I will stick to a certain fragrance for a while and then move on when I feel like I've outgrown it (Tuscany per donna for example---I could never wear that now like I did when I was 20!)
I am toying with the idea of experimenting and creating my own fragrance. I like perfume oils because alcohol irritates me. I love the smell of sandalwood, tuberose, jasmines, pink lotus, amber, vanilla---I would love to create a scent that is uniquely my own and that noone else has.
What would be a great site, if anyone knows, for ordering perfume mixing supplies and essences?
Your suggestions are welcome!
Oh and going back to my thread title. My supervisor today was wearing this perfume that I swear almost made me vomit! It was soooooo sweet and had this like Mobile
\\Exxon quality to it I can't even begin to describe how awful it smelled. Thank God I only smelled it when she came close. Had I smelled it from far I would have moved to the other side of the room, maybe even to a different floor! (We have 3 floors)
I guess what I learned is: what smells good to you may smell horrible to others and to always always apply sparingly!!
Happy sniffing!
