I've also tried Chanel No.5 and as much as I <i>want</i> to love it, I really don't. I prefer Coco Mademoiselle, if I had to choose a Chanel scent. Next time i'm out, I think i'll try some new ones... you've inspired me!Daniellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478445646501561827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-58695150602800974462008-09-07T08:30:00.000-07:002008-09-07T08:30:00.000-07:00Scentscelf- Your feedback is fantastic!

For example, I tried sushi when I was 9 years old and HATED it! Now Japanese is my favorite cuisine. Same thing with wine. I do have hopes one day that I'll love Chanel No. 5. I will take you suggestion and not give up on it!<BR/><BR/>You're also right about Lovely. I think the reason I wear it only once a month is because I tend to wear it on a lazy day when not much is going on. I do love the scent and it is the equivalent of wearing comfortable and soft sweater.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your thoughtful comments...The Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-3510796722325400472008-09-07T05:19:00.000-07:002008-09-07T05:19:00.000-07:00I find, too, that scent is an incredibly personal ...I find, too, that scent is an incredibly personal thing. However, there are some common threads that I have found among the perfume-loving folk that relate directly to your post.<BR/><BR/>Seasons, mood, wardrobe, occasion, personal pleasure vs. desire to please other...these all can affect one's choice of scent. Of course, what you choose to apply given the motivation is where the individual comes in... :)<BR/><BR/>Something like a Chanel No5, or some of the "older" or more intense fragrances, may be smells you do not like now, but come to appreciate in the future. I think it's probably worth revisiting them occasionally, just to see if your preferences have changed as a result of your heightened awareness.<BR/><BR/>For me, not every day has to present a profound scent. If you like <I>Lovely</I> and choose to wear it for simple pleasure rather than profound, I believe you have chosen the equivalent of a comfortable sweater over a perfectly cut blouse. Both have their purposes.<BR/><BR/>Phew! Obviously, your good writing and thoughtful presentation inspire reflection in themselves!
