Left to Right: Gianni Versace Red Jeans, Kimora Lee Simmons Fabulousity, Ed Hardy Love and Luck, Calvin Klein Contradiction, and Calvin Klein Euphoria.
I have been wearing perfume since I was about 12 or 13. I've gone from being an 'occasional' user who would only spritz some scent on for special occasions, to someone who uses a few spritzes every day.
I am not going to bother describing what each scent smells like, because I'm horrible at it.
Red Jeans was my second bottle of perfume ever. I got it when I was 13 from my grandmother as a Christmas gift. The smell of this perfume is something that triggers memories of a simpler time, and being a teenager. I'm on my second bottle of this, and I am happy that it's easily accessible and I can buy it a my local drugstore.
Fabulousity is a perfume I have had for about two years. I like to spritz this on when I am going out for an evening, or if I want to smell 'sweet'. It is a good summer perfume, and I got it for my birthday a few years ago. I got a second bottle for Christmas last year.
Love and Luck was a perfume I picked up sheerly for curiousity's sake. I had heard a lot about Ed Hardy perfumes and wanted to give this one a try. Regrettably, I do not use this one much. The scent wears off very quickly, so I don't like to wear it much because of how much I have to use in order for the scent to 'stick'.
Contradiction is my second-fave CK scent. I love CK perfumes...they all smell great. I got a sampler of a few of them (Eternity, Contradiction, Obsession and CK One) when I was 14, and this and Eternity were the standouts for me. I got this perfume as a Grade 8 grad gift from my parents. I love this one a lot.
Euphoria is my no. 1 favorite perfume, and favorite CK perfume. I love to wear this, but I don't wear it as much anymore because I go through a bottle so quickly. I got it for Christmas one year, and got my second bottle for Christmas a year later. This scent never fails to make me feel happy and confident.
My runner-up perfume is another Calvin Klein - Eternity (not pictured). I have a tiny bottle of it, but don't have the full size. This was the first perfume I ever owned, so the scent holds a lot of sentimental value and good memories for me. My parents got me a bottle when I was 12.
Now, if I had to pick a scent that I absolutely loathe - it's actually another CK perfume! And to be honest, I only hate this perfume because of the bad memories I have to associate with it. It's CK One. This perfume triggers horrible memories of Grade 8 for me. When I was in Grade 8, the girls in my grade were obsessed with designer label EVERYTHING...and they would douse themselves in either Tommy Girl or CK One. They would also bully anyone who wasn't wearing designer clothes, makeup or perfume, so I associate CK One with bitchy girls. To this day, I can easily pick it out in a crowd of perfumed people.
