It's been a very long time since the last update in this blog. It's sad that this blog has been abandoned for such a long time. It seems that I've lost the enthusiasm to blog. It's not about time perhaps age. Enough of blabbering - I'm here to update and yes to express my perspective towards certain things that came to my mind.
Fragrances. Do you use it? Why yes or no? Perfume? Cologne? Does it matter so much? Well, in my opinion it does matter. Some probably that it smell so fake, not natural and what not. Well I got to disagree with this. I rather smell something which is pleasing than those of filth pungent odor kind of smell. However, it all depends on the perspective of people. Everyone have different thoughts so it is hard to come into a conclusion.
So far, I bought only two different fragrances in my life. The first was Sean John's Unforgivable. This perfume smells extremely masculine (of woodiness). After 2 years of having this fragrance, I realize that it is definitely not my scent. It took me almost 4 years to finish up the whole bottle. This is when I realize that fragrances can reflect your personality. If you really like the scent of the fragrance, you will want to put it on everyday.
Hence goes my second purchase Davidoff's Silver Shadow Altitude. This cologne smells really me ME! xD Initially, I don't want to tell anyone what fragrance I was using but since some found out and got themselves one, it's no point of hiding it. Anyway, I left less than half a bottle and I know what to get next so I don't mind actually. I'm the kind of person which seeks for distinction when it comes to things like this. In marketing terms, I'm categorized in the need for uniqueness group. This cologne has given me a signature smell. Whenever my friends smell it, it reminds them of me or in other words, it smell of ME!
Well, aside from giving you a signature scent, fragrances can do lots of wonders. For example, it can enhance making out sessions (only applicable to certain type of people and depending on the fragrance used). Think about it, perhaps you can easily be turned down my unpleasant smell like sweat or body odor? If you smell nice, the more your partner would want you?
Other than that, fragrances can attract people. If you smell nice, people wouldn't mind to stand with you longer. Imagine that you as a guy which is all sweaty and you want to tackle a girl. Will she stay and talk to you or she will walk away? Be my guest, most girls will walk away as they wouldn't want to experience such unpleasant smell. However, there is a small percentage that girls would be attracted to such rawness of a man. Hence, it is important nowadays to enhance your physical appearances.
Nevertheless, it is also said that fragrances can enhance the wearer's confidence. Without any unpleasant sweat or body odor smell, one can be more confident. Fragrances also resembles class. Well, I can say that fragrances don't come cheap especially the nice smelling ones. I don't know how but some people can just tell the smell of your fragrance is cheap or expensive. I think it's a little quite true. Just by smelling those fragrances that you can get from the counter of the convenient store you can tell that it doesn't smell expensive/exquisite. A good example would be my own sister which I bought her a gift pack from L'Occitane which includes of a small fragrance bottle. She told me that it smells "expensive". Therefore, I can say that fragrances can also represent class.
Well I don't know why I'm throwing all out my thoughts about fragrances but yeah. It's good to have fragrances in life. It makes you more pleasant (but I personally don't like super concentrated perfume smell as it gives me a heck of headache - applying too much of fragrances is another different thing!) Let's see what I will babble in the next post :P 'till then~
