Have you ever been walking around and suddenly smelled a familiar scent? It happened to me in Fazoli’s yesterday. I smelled Abercrombie cologne on a guy in front of me in line. I think it’s crazy how I can distinguish scents so well and also how we connect different scents with past memories.
So do you have a signature scent? I know that everyone has their own personal scent, because when I borrow my friend, Kate’s clothes, I’m like “oh it smells like Kate!” It’s not necessarily just her perfume (which is Paris Hilton), but the smell of her laundry detergent, lotion, and house in general. But it is still distinguishable to me.
I remember one day I was working at Texas Roadhouse. A guest stopped me to ask what perfume I was wearing because his wife really liked it. I stopped to think and realized, I wasn’t wearing any! I was like, what the heck smells so good and how did it get on me? I think it ended up being my laundry detergent…
But the point is, I usually don’t wear perfume. I don’t necessarily have a signature scent either. I’m a mix-it-up kinda girl. I usually layer a couple of scents; lotion with maybe a spritz of perfume or body splash. Most of the time my body wash is different from my lotion which is different from my perfume that I MIGHT wear.
Instead of having a signature scent, I sort of “create” my own. But I still want my own unique perfume. I like Romance by Ralph Lauren and Very Irresistible by Givenchy. I also love Bath and Body Works lotion. My favorite fall scent: Brown Sugar and Fig. It definitely puts me in the mood for crunchy leaves, sweaters, and Thanksgiving!

I really know what you mean about everyone having their own scent. I know it might sound a little weird but when my best friend and I went away to college, before we separated we bought each other hoodies from our respective schools and wore them and washed them all summer and then switched. We did this so that when we went away if was kind of like still borrowing each others clothes.
I love scents. Right now I'm really into Chanel and Bath and Body works "Cherry Blossom". It's the best when you get compliments on how good you smell or even when you get to tell someone else that you love their scents!
