I wear, almost exclusively, Chanel Chance. I went to Filenes a couple of years ago to sample Chanel Number 5. I had never owned expensive perfume before, and the glamour surrounding #5 seemed like something I would want. Unfortunately, the store was out of samples (I wanted to sample before purchasing). But they gave me a sample of chance. I let it sit for a couple of months. It smelled awful (I thought) in the bottle. It was too musky. But one day, just on a lark, I put some on. And in about an hour I realized it was the most wonderful smelling perfume I have ever smelled! I love it. I can't get enough of it. Moral of the story? If there is one, I would definitely say, don't go by the smell in the bottle, only the smell on the skin. Hi Joey & Angie,

I know of places that will create a scent for you from scratch - but not of places that will re-create a scent that already exists. The information that you have shared with us is so valuable that I would like to devote a blog entry to it, so stay tuned! I use a fragrance called Flower by Japanese design house Kenzo. I have been using it for about 6 years and still love it each and every day that I spray it on! I smelt it on a colleague a few times and adored it. I then went ahead and tested it on my very acidic skin and it seemed to work. I have not found a fragrance that I would rather be covered in. It's become a smell that is associated with you I am and I enjoy that. Thanks for your comment Joey.

There isn't one that I would want to wear everyday, although I crave to find that one special scent that is me. I did have such a scent and then the small business went out of business and I haven't found anyone who can recreate it. Do you know of any place that can do this? I spent a good deal of money last year and now have 4-5 slightly used perfumes that are o.k.. This year I decided to get smart. The last couple of months I've been tearing ads out of Marie Claire and Instyle and getting samples from department stores. There is an absolute maze of scents! I'm whittling down the options. When I get 3 or 4 that I really like Nordstroms will make a purse size sample for $6.50. I plan to wear each favorite for several days and make a well sampled decision. It's just too expensive and disappointing to buy willy nilly. And I'm having fun with my little experiment/challenge. How did you find your special scent? Last fall/winter I purchased 4-5 scents.
