It just hit me

melaniesuzanneI just figured out why I'm so nuts about collecting perfume. I love the various memories and images the scents trigger in my mind.
I got a perfume this week (Clarimonde) that reminds me of the dressing room my Aunt Trish had when I was a kid. When I sniff the oil on my wrist, it feels like I've sneaked into her room to look at her perfume bottles and cosmetics. The smell of hairspray still hangs in the air because Trisha and Mom were doing their hair only a little while ago. There's a little bit of powder and a green-floral scent which is the mixture of aromas from Trisha's perfume collection plus a little bit of humid Floridian air.
It's too bad the perfume is turning to powdery death on my skin. I loved those few minutes of being transported back to childhood.
