I declare my undying love...

Monday, June 05, 2006

I'm in lurv! Not with a man or something silly like that - no, this is a meaningful love, deep-seated and in for the long haul. I'm talking True Love, folks. This love affair is with the most glorious perfume one can imagine!! (did I not state that this was a meaningful love affair?!)..

Sticky and Bella Vanille... the two greatest perfumes ever created.




Let's discuss Sticky first. This smells exactly how it's described. I'm reminded of a carnival every time I wear this or smell it. It's like closing my eyes and being transported to a hot summer day with cotton candy, caramel corn, caramel apples, and all the other yummy stuff one finds at a carnival. And yet, though this might sound like a child's perfume, it's not. There is a definite maturity to this and has quickly become my number 1 favorite scent. I don't leave home w/out it!




Bella Vanille. Exquisite and fantastic. This rich vanilla is far more grown-up than your vanilla extract. There are notes of musk and other scents swirled in this to create a subtle yet incredible scent. True story: I was wearing this when we went grocery shopping a few weeks back. We walked to the meat/seafood counter to ask the butcher a question. Keep in mind that from our perspective, we just smell nasty old fish. (blech). We stood there talking to him for a few seconds when he stopped in mid-sentence, sniffed, and then asked "is one of you wearing vanilla?" Shock! I don't wear my perfume heavy and yet this guy was able to smell it a good 6 feet away and through the various odors at the meat counter.

I could go on and on about a few other scents I've tried, but I'm guessing that right about now, some of you are thinking I've got more than just a screw loose, so I'll stop for now.

Let me just add - I've also tried 3 other scents and each one is just as fantastic as the one before. Oh, and her Aloe lotion is divine. I'll write about that another time. It needs to have an entry devoted just to it. It is that fantastic!

Go visit Wylde Ivy and tell them Cherie sent ya!
