my new smell

I bought perfume for the first time ever. This was a major event in my life. As Jodie and Melissa can tell you, I had some real anxiety. I have wanted my own smell since high school, but never could quite commit to one. As with everything in my life, I would over think it and build it up to be way too big of a deal. For example, I wanted to buy my special scent in France, or once I liked a perfume right after I had Alice, but I was afraid my baby wouldn't recognize my smell and be stressed, la la la... Another time I really liked another perfume and then someone I knew started wearing it. Then I associated that smell with them. That actually happened to me twice. Well, now my baby is three and can use other senses to recognize me and though I'm sure thousands of people wear this perfume, I don't know any of them. Happy Day! I copy and pasted this stuff from the internet (Jacob, are you impressed?)



Chance by Chanel perfume for women is a fresh floral fragrance that meets sensual, sweet and spicy elements. The scent sizzles with surprising femininity and a hint of sexiness. There is pink pepper, lemon, and pineapple in the top notes, while the heart encompasses hyacinth, jasmine, and iris; the base finishes with amber, patchouli, vetiver, and white musk. Chance is the only Chanel perfume in round bottle instead of the classical Chanel N°5 rectangle bottle. Notes Pink Pepper, Lemon, Pineapple, Hyacinth, Jasmine, Iris, Patchouli, Vetiver, White Musk

*Just for the record, I am remembering an awkward moment when my high school boyfriend bought me some perfume. (I am breaking my mind trying to remember what it was called.) I put it on and he said, "Hmmmm, you smell like Sarah." She was shopping for me with him. She liked the smell too and bought some for herself. She had been wearing it for weeks before I opened it. We both decided it was too weird for me to wear it. After recalling that incident, (I probably haven't thought of that in 10 years. I just thought I had a complex for nothing. See the good that can come from writing? ) I feel a little validated in my quest for the right smell.
