How I found my signature scent
This one is not that weird of a story. But about 10 years ago, I got a perfume bottle as a present from my current boyfriend. Jo Malone's Wood sage and sea salt.
At that time I wasn't that much into perfumes. I had never seen the bottle. But for some reason my boyfriend insisted, that I had asked for that literal scent. He was asking if I was happy that he finally found it at some airport. I was confused and he got a little disappointed because of my underwhelming reaction. I certainly had never asked for the scent.
It was a beautiful scent though. I wore it occasionally and it got me into perfumes.
Over the years I got into the hunt of finding my "signature scent". I've tested numerous scents to find the best fitting scent for me. But the only bottle I've ever bought again is the Wood sage and sea salt, which is still my favourite to this day. So, it became my signature.
The wildest thought I've gotten is that maybe, maybe it was some time traveling version of me who asked my boyfriend to buy it for me, so that I could get it early in my life. Or some other glitched up instinct of his. The boring answer is that the scent just grew on me, or that someone else had asked it from him.
Nevertheless, I found my signature scent. By asking for a blind buy, which I don't remember, apparently 🤷
