The fabulous Sneaky Magpie has agreed to write a guest post for Signature Scent giving an insight into her perfume journey. Here’s what she has to say:
My first memory of perfume is Armani, I got it from my aunt some time in the early 90s, it came in an octagonal bottle and smelled very strongly. Way too strong for a teenager. I never used it. It just stood in my bedroom looking sophisticated.
In my early 20s I took to clean, fresh, simple fragrances like CK One, Be and the more experimental DKNY, it came in a long slick bottle accompanied by 5 scents that you could blend yourself. It was fabulous.
As I reached my late 20s I decided I wanted a change from the fresh scents I had been using. I chose the rich and musky Dior Addict. Oh how I loved that smell. I am sure it didn't suit me but nevertheless I wore it all the same.
For a number of years now I've been in love with - Diptyque Philosykos Eau de Toilette. I feel like I finally found a scent that is original, light, not too sweet, and a bit fruity. Every morning it takes me to a sunny summers day, lying under a tree somewhere in Provence. It's not overpowering, it somehow simply becomes part of me. It just works.

I do find it interesting how different perfumes appeal at different stages of life. The Diptyque scent sounds lovely - I shall have to give it a try some time.
i agree with skirmishofwit...and i want to try it as well! ;))
It's definitely worth a try - I love it too.
Great post. Thanks for sharing your journey. I remeber wearing Joop in high school. Egyptian Musk in college. These days, I'm wearing any number of different scents. Rose 31 by Le Labo, John Varvatos Vintage, Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur, Eau D'Itale's Baume du Doge. I just love to mix it up.
