Firstly, I remember when the Grey Flannel craze was on. I was in highschool at the time and all the popular and preppie kids wore it. Not long after, the artier crowd that I ran with began wearing a scent from The Body Shop called Dewberry. We all henna'd our hair red and wore Dewberry esential oil perfume. Good Times. Afterward, I went through a Vanilla phase. Again, I got my scent from The Body Shop. It wasn't a straight vanilla but a blended perfume. One day, I went with my Grandmother to pick fruit. When I stepped out of the car, I was overwhelmed by the exact same smell that the Vanilla was: warm strawberries on a sunny day. The added bonus of that perfume was that it disguised my smoking habit and instead of smelling like an ashtray, I smelled like pipe tobaccco. (I've long since quit the smoking and now smell mostly like Downy fabric softener!) From the Vanilla perfume, I hopped over to Satsuma, again from the Body Shop. This was a citrus perfume with a strong tangerine smell. I no longer wear perfume. It's a strange habit I've gotten out of. Although, when Sarah Jessica Parker released a fragrance, I got a sample vial from Eatons and gave it a try. But, it smells like old ladies to me. I prefer something bright and fruity. One of my all-time fave scents is pink grapefruit. I usually buy glycerine soaps and ody wash in grapefruit or papaya scent or something similar. I find the grapefruit in particular really wakes me up and makes me feel happy and excited. Gosh, i could have written a blog post with all that! Anyway, thought you might enjoy reading my reminiscences about perfume. And, I love that Opium Jukebox song! Wonderful cover! mamaloo • 4/12/06; 1:44:07 PM # Oh, mamaloo, you are a breath of fresh unscented air! We should bottle you!! What fun memories, and a JOY to read!! Thank you, thank you!
