The ...Ah! Another lens to peer into perfume with.<br /><br />The last time I thought in visual terms, it was whether you could sort perfume into b/w versus color. (I love that that appears in your images, therefore, even though you didn't bring it up that way. :) ) But let me play this way...<br /><br />Sometimes I visualize a scent as either dug into my skin, with varying amounts of projection/rise/layer above. In this way of imagining, there are some scents which hover above my skin (again, various distances). Additionally, there are a very few fragrances which do BOTH, and behave differently in each space.<br /><br />As for sillage...I think I have to admit that this is a weird area of modesty for me. As in, I'd rather believe I am NOT trailing, because I don't want to be impregnating people's space...I want them to experience mine. Which is a bit odd, I know, and I know the sillage is the glory for some wearers (and some audience, too). But, this was subjective and personal, right? :)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674105335390337863.post-11832005608439810062010-06-14T13:41:33.766-04:002010-06-14T13:41:33.766-04:00Hmm - to some extent I think it depends on the per...Hmm - to some extent I think it depends on the perfume. Good ones tend to 'shimmer' around you in a 'haze'. Sweet ones (that I don't like) leap down by throat like the black smoke in 'Lost' and stick there. My favourite of favourites - Aromatics Elixir envelops me like trees in a forest. <br /><br />Sometimes the so called 'sparkling' fragrances do add a certain shine. <br /><br />There's a particularly strong amber note that I sort of taste - it reminds me of a figurative (and impossible) mercury ball-bearing that I'm sucking on. Dune falls into this category, and I think Alien might if I wore it on myself. Too weird? Think I'll stop now.MyPerfumeLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17468093321436346274noreply@blogger.com
