I’m Dreaming Of A White Musk Christmas
December 2, 2007 · Print This Article
For someone like me who only uses perfumes during special and rare occasions, perfume shopping is no regular activity. In fact, I do not remember ever buying one for myself. The five perfumes I own today were gifts given by my aunt. Though I am not an aficionado, it doesn’t mean that I wear just about anything. I only go for the mild scents since the strong ones make me sneeze.
Giving perfumes as gifts requires careful considerations. You have to take note of the person’s skin type as fragrances react differently on individuals. For me, white musk is one of the scents I really like. Its mild, powdery, and sweet fragrance gives me a refreshing feeling especially during warm weathers. I am even seriously considering of getting one this Christmas but I do hope Santa fill my stocking with one before I hit the store.
I think perfume-gift giving is only meant for lovers or couple who can appreciate each other’s “scents”. A friend actually gave me a perfume many Xmases ago and since “declining an offer is an insult”, kahit di ko gusto ginagamit ko na din (baka amuyin ako at magtanong).
I would pick on the colognes. I get so tired anything that associates with “MUSKY”. One of my favourite is from Helmut Lang (Cuiron) or the Zegna, it smells like patchouli.
I think the Adidas after-shave is another alternative for keeping you smelling fresh and sporty.
My next target for this season is from Hermes.
