Versace Eros Perfumes
Even the most brute with tough exteriors can have their hearts melted with one sniff of a lovely scent like Mitsuko. Scents have a magical quality. They can transport us to a different place and time. They get etched into our memories as pockets of most distinguished events. Different smells bring different memories. To someone, the sweet smell of caramelized onions might bring memories of their mother's (or father's) kitchen. The noble smell of tuberose might be reminiscent of a garden in the house you lived years ago, or all-encompassing smell of passionate rose a memory of a lovely date which despite your efforts didn’t lead to nowhere. Scents tend to bring our most treasured memories, filling a sense of joy in life. We capture these fleeting memories through the sense of smell. Then, a great perfume has subjectivity about it. Everyone will appreciate it for unique reasons. I adore my Habit rouge not because it is well-blended or that it (sort of) stood the test of times, but because the whiffs I get throughout the day never fail to put a smile on my face. Perfume is a great hobby. Not only it is one of the most accessible ones, but it also provides many ways to explore and appreciate the world in your unique way. Like any other great hobby, it helps in understanding various nuances of the world. It also helps you to understand yourself. Ever been in a situation when your nose just can't like something which everyone adores? If I was not exposed to the world of perfumes, I would have meekly tried to convince myself that I should like the damn thing. But as you spend more time, you get more independent and fearless in your thought. While deservedly so, a whole lot of people might love GIT, I might not have the same degree of appreciation. It has a lovely green smell that brings joy of great outdoors, but not something I enjoy on my own person. This hobby is subjective and independent. Everyone can find their own island which they can appreciate in their own way. Then, over years, we have many forums, with the likes of Parfumo, through which we all can discuss our favorite perfumes. The more we discuss, the more we learn. Apart from the esteemed critics, people you know, on and off the internet, are your truest compasses to navigate this world. Biggest of all, there is this missing piece which we have, a poetic expression. Perfumes let us explore our inner Frost, Rilke, Ghalib, or the likes. Through this world of perfumes, we learn to express ourselves and sharpen our poetic senses, and, in a way, become sophisticated. That, to me, is one of the ultimate pleasures in life. When you can appreciate finer elements even in the most ignored things. When you have developed a more sophisticated lens to perceive the world. When you can rely on your senses and knowledge. When you can find joy in the novel smell of a lemon peel. And, I love it! What makes you love perfumes?
