The Great Perfume Saga



A few years ago I had the most beautiful perfume that I got compliments on every day. Loved that stuff. Smelled like strawberries and chocolate. :-) 

Then one day something changed and it started to smell like fly spray. I was so sad. Especially as I had just splashed out and bought the whole set; body lotion, shower gel, etc. and it all smelled good in the bottle and bad bad bad on me. 

Since then I've been intimitantly hunting for a new perfume. 

Today it suddenly struck me. I live in the shadow of one of the biggest department stores in Korea. They have hundred of different perfumes there that I can sample in my search to find the best perfume. I don't know why it's taken me a year to realise this - must be a bit slow. 

Anyway I started my quest today. Was beguiled by a pretty blue bottle and sprayed on a liberal amount. The sales girl gave me an odd look but I just shrugged it off. 

Now that the smell has fully developed I think I can understand why. It rather smells like I doused myself in aftershave. Very masculine in my apartment tonight. I quite like the smell - but not on me. 

Regardless with a bit more care and observation I intend to continue my hunt for the perfect perfume with daily visits to the department store.
