Eau, baby

Over at BeautyintheBigApple, I'd written quite a number of times about fragrances. This past year I've featured a number of designer must-haves, but personally, I'm in perfume limbo. While vacationing in Manila last summer, I bought a trusty bottle of Denenes cologne: one I'd frequently spashed on as a preppy tweener. These days, it's my go-to spritz when it gets too hot outside, or if I'm one day short of a bath (oops!).

When I was a full-time beauty editor, I leisurely switched fragrances on a regular basis: one for every season and one for any mood. And if I come across any of the perfumes I've used in the past, I would most definitely associate them with certain points in time, people, and experiences. In a random conversation, I would be able to explain to you my love-hate relationship with Bulgari Omnia Original (hate) and Amethyst (love). By the way if you're on the lookout for new scent treats, these cologne buying guides for women and men at Shopwiki UK might be helpful in your search. As for me, it's Denenes for now until further notice.
