(Feodor Vasilyev. Before a Thunderstorm. 1868)Since it's spring (finally!) I've been paying more attention to the fragrance articles in the nine zillion magazines I get at home and stopping by a store's fragrance counter whenever I get the chance. Why? Mostly because I'm wearing only Angel for the most part, which my husband adores but I consider to be an almost "angry" scent. I can't imagine that Angel's going to be wearable in the (albeit short) humid, hot summer we tend to get here.
Have I had success? Sort of. I think that patchouli is the odd note that my husband likes in Angel-- it's also a fragrance that has about a zillion different notes. I sampled Angel Innocent yesterday after reading that it was "Angel lite". No sale for me-- the two scents were pretty much indistinguishable both on my wrists and on the scent card I used.
I do really like the Prada Infusion d'Iris, but it hasn't ever gotten any compliments from my husband (although a stylish coworker, a female, always notices when I wear it). The Prada is great in warm weather, so maybe I'll just get another small bottle of that-- I actually used up a whole one last year, which is a true compliment for a fragrance when you really think about it.
At Sephora (where I really was shopping for sunscreen/spf lotion, more on that later), I bought a gift set of Fresh Cannabis Rose, more because it seemed a bit "Angelish" to me on my skin and because it was on sale. Maybe the name puts people off-- but at $30, I couldn't pass up a small bottle of edt, shower gel, and body creme. I'm going to try wearing it regularly and see what happens. For the affordable price I paid, it'll be an interesting experiment.
