High Summer Perfumes

These are perfumes I thought were cologne styles suitable for hot climes. Turns out God of Fire applied in the heat stops being a dry mango scent pretty fast, and smells so like grilled fish on me I had to scrub it off. I gave it to my friend whose flat we stayed in becaise it undoubtedly smells a lot better on her, and doesn't turn into anything weird. Bleecker Street works, stays very floral, and doesn't change notes but its longevity is affected by the heat ever so slightly. Surprisingly Erba Pura works better in a Scottish Spring than a Maltese one, but it's just not that special, fizzy lemony maybe. In any case I wouldn't buy it because a perfume is a luxury experience and one pays a lot for it, so I expect the bottle to please me aesthetically. My dressing table demands magpie nonsense. All of these have slightly rubbishy looking bottles.

Nope, nope, Erba Pura's actually turning as I write this, citrus becoming indistinguishable from general dry fruitiness. Strike that one. Bleecker Street's the best on me, but the bottle looks like the Joker designed it.

Right. Time for work.

Sorry to hear that! I know a lot of people who find perfumes/colognes a quick route to headaches. With me, some do, some don't... and some smell like car freshener!
