I've been delving into the realm of scents lately. One of the things I've noticed the most is how much body chemistry can adjust a scent, not just when the scent is first applied, but also over time.
My body tends to marry scents fairly well. I think it's one of the reasons why I'm probably better off with perfumes that emphasize the skin's natural scent more than anything else. It's subtle, interesting, and complex.
Scents are an amazing form of self-expression. They also leave lasting memories. I can remember the smell of people who have long passed from my life and this world as easily as if they were in the room with me right now.
I tend to like spicy things, gourmonds, and darker scent notes. I like whiskeys and tobaccos, leather, cinnamon, and cherry. I love the way these things make me smell.
Scent is a fun area to explore. There could be all kinds of things I might find that work for me, things I didn't expect. In terms of my year of beauty, this should be very educational.
