Sweet Aromas

I have decided I need a signature scent. I'm not typically a perfume (parfoom as the saleslady says) person, so it's hard. Plus, I am notoriously picky about everything I buy, so it's a battle for all involved.

Ever in an attempt to impress the Class Police (to no avail), I wanted to get Chanel No. 5. It's nice, but... the saleswoman said it was an old scent, which is factually true, but she followed it up with, "Not that only old ladies wear it -- I mean, they do! (awkward laughter) But not only old ladies... I mean..." Hm. I didn't like it really at first. I tried some other horrible putrid scents that resembled flowers dipped in alcohol and sugar. And I have never been able to match a scent with the whole baby prostitute line from Mean Girls until I smelled Paris Hilton's gem.

I think out of the billion things I smelled, Chanel is growing on me the most. I just don't like perfumes really, but still feel I should have a subtle signature scent. I am taking suggestions, but I might just give in and get Chanel because at least I can say I wear it. I'm such a brand whore.
