Parfumus ignoramus… some kinda
My officemates began a discussion about perfumes and fragrances when one of our artists bought a bottle of perfume, the brand name escapes my mind this moment, from an AE’s friend.
They talked about what perfume brands they prefer, what names smell wonderful or what kinda stings in the nose.
I could just listen.
To tell you the truth, I have limited knowledge about these things. Only a few fragrances are familiar to my olfactory nerves, such as some variants of Victoria’s Secret, Polo Sport, Burberry Weekends, Fahrenheit (forgive the spelling, if incorrect) and Ferrari Passion (which I gave my SO last Christmas… which does NOT mean in any way that he stinks or whatever). All other famous brands are alien to me. That’s because I’m not really particular with perfume. I don’t stop by and see what brand sells the most. Geez, I even snake my way through the fragrances section of department stores just to avoid those salespeople who are attempting to spray some on me. Besides, strong fragrances makes me sneeze.
And honestly, I really don’t spend for perfume. I just accept whatever’s given to me by my relatives abroad (hehe!), so I guess that’s why I’m not particular with any brand. Just the smell.
Besides, a lot of good-smelling colognes, which cost a lot less, are sold in groceries nationwide. My extra thousand bucks can go a long way.
Ergo, call me perfume brand-unconscious.
