scent is in my opinion the strongest of the senses by far.
my tumblr to blogspot would be what scent to vision is for me.
we attribute scents to very specific memories--people, places, times..
my best friend's old house, my mom's favorite lotion, a guy--one whiff and i'm back there in that moment, if only for an instant.
chloe's perfume has been a longtime staple of mine--most of my girlfriends have told me that anytime they smell it they think of me. there aren't a lot of things in this world that truly make me feel different when i try them--new clothes, fresh nails, new makeup...these things don't cut it in this aspect. it's a new haircut, or a new bottle of perfume that really sets a different mentality for me.
the thing with perfumes is that no perfume smells the same on a given person. "light blue" smells really different on my sister than i ever remember it smelling on anyone else. i think that's just one example of maybe why scents create / bring back such strong memories.
i'll always love chloe and can always go back to it,
but change every now and then is good thing.
in search of a new perfume.
cheers to the new memories.
