I’ve been leaning towards a new perfume style lately. For the last three years I’ve been using Clinique Happy. In my twenties I liked spicier perfumes: Chanel Cristalle or Borghese Il Bacio. Before that I had more romantic taste in perfumes. In high school I wore Eau de Gucci, Crabtree & Evelyn Spring Rain, or patchouli oil (shut up). Way way back in junior high I loved de la Renta Ruffles which is long gone.

I’ve been moving towards simpler perfumes the last year though. And oddly enough my favorite bath goodies have usually been made for babies. Like that healing garden baby stuff (which has been discontinued dammit), johnson and johnson bedtime baby bath, or burt’s baby bee stuff.

I think it’s mostly because the baby products don’t have nearly as many perfumes. And since I’ve quit smoking the more subtle scents are enough for me now.

I wanted to try that trio of simpler grace scents from philosophy but 90 bucks is a whole lot for perfumes I haven’t tried yet. So I split the difference and bought the solid trio for 45. Unfortunately it arrived right in the middle of my cold so I couldn’t smell them for about a week. Now I can’t get enough of the pure grace scent. It’s so clean and sweet.

Wtf is going on with me? Switched from coffee to tea, wearing pink and baby scents. But at least I still listen to kickass music.
