It may be a silly little detail to some, but I've always loved the idea of having a "Wedding Day Purfume," one that will take you back to that day whenever you smell it, and can be used for romantic, special occasions afterwards. I always thought (for like, 2 or 3 years!) I would go with one scent in particular after smelling a sample, and had refrained buying it because I wanted to wait until I was engaged and actually planning to make that purchase.

That fragrance was FlowerbyKenzo. Sweet, light, and floral, it is summery, pleasant, and I loved how it smelled on my skin. I finally made a trip to Sephora on a Saturday to give it another try, and potentially buy it, and while I was there another bottle caught my eye, and I happened to try a spray on my right wrist, with FlowerbyKenzo on the left wrist. Hm. I couldn't stop smelling my right wrist all afternoon, and walked out of the store having not made a purchase.
On Monday, I couldn't handle it, I had to go try this random find again, but I couldn't remember the name for the life of me! I searched the Sephora website, hoping the look of the bottle would jog my memory. I remembered a pink, angular bottle, and at the store I was at it was sitting kind of on its side. None of the pictures looked like that! So that evening, after work, I went to a different Sephora location, and tried to explain what I was looking for. I think the sales associate thought I was a little crazy, but tried to help me! But I mostly had to smell to find it, so I worked my way across their fragrance wall, when I found it!

Here it is! Flowerbomb by Victor&Rolf. I bought it that day, and sprayed a sample on my wrist again to make sure it was the one. Well, I got home, let Dino smell my wrist, and he thought it smelled "Baby-Powdery," which I took as a bad sign. I had some FlowerbyKenzo samples, and a KenzoAmour sample, so I sprayed those on, and was even more confused. What to do!
So this last weekend, we went back. I sprayed FlowerbyKenzo on one wrist, Flowerbomb on the other, and together we decided the Flowerbomb won! So I kept my previous purchase, opened it, and then set it aside for the wedding day. I hope I can resist sneaking smells now and again, it is just beautiful. Light but rich, floral and clean, kind of silky and just makes me happy.
One more decision down!
