P is for patchouli.. which is one of my favorite scents. Its on the top 3 of scents that I could wear every day for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy as long as it was good quality patchouli oil. I have a few bottles from different companies (some of which I use for scenting soaps and lotions.. others for room scents) but my personal favorite is this bottle from the Body Shop.
P is also for Perfume… which is another one of the top things I spend my money on. I love scents.. and I tend to change my perfume depending on my mood. I don’t like commercial perfumes that are found at the counter of your local department store.. mostly because my body chemistry tends to destroy the scents and I end up smelling like I fell into a vat of booze. The only 3 bottles that I have of commercial perfumes are Gap brand ‘Om” perfume, Victorias Secret ‘Dream Angels -Heavenly’ (yeah.. go ahead and laugh at that one.. its rather ironic) and Bath & Body Works Tutti Dolce’ “Chocolate Mousse”. I have entirely too many bottles and vials of perfume oils in the house.. so many in fact that I would be embarrassed to take photos of all of them and admit my addiction to the blog world. I’m pretty sure that I’ve posted photos of my “precious” on the BPAL forums before.. as their blends are some of my favorites on the internet.
My favorite scents are either “foody” - chocolate, candy corn, donuts, frosting, and other desserts.. or “exotics/incense”- like patchouli, sandalwood, nag champa, clove, cardamom, indian spices, and the like. If someone made a scent that smelled like chai tea (chai masala spices) I’d be all over it.
