Second Perfume Safari

Britt-Nicole and I went back for a second perfume safari. She wanted to try something new from Lancome (we couldn't remember the name) and I wanted to test Chanel No. 5. I've owned Chanel No. 5 before and wore it plenty of times, but I haven't revisited it in years and I'm terribly into retro-scents. So we went and took a sniff of the stuff.

Wow, both Britt-Nicole and I were stunned--it knocked our socks off. This fragrance is way better than I remembered it and I remembered it quite fondly. It's unbelievable.

Of course, we didn't buy it, for the simple reason that it's never our policy to buy everything we want all at once. We did wander over to the Lancome counter and tried out Hypnose and some other stuff. We settled on Tresor, which is a wonderful fragrance, kind of flowery but with some apricot notes and musk base notes. It's got a lilac scent to it, which sounds old-fashioned, but it really wasn't. Best of all, it wasn't one of those gender-spanning youthful scents. This was clearly woman's perfume.

By the way, our perfume counter now serves coffee, which we think is just too wonderful.
