Pink Sugar

One of the many "oops's" I have never confessed was that one week earlier this year I decided to get a new perfume. You know, one of those fleeting moments where you are under some delusion that life will totally change and become exotic if you smell different. Well, I found some I liked, got on Ebay and bid on all of them. Little did I know I'd end up winning most of those auctions. Who knew a $16 bid would get you a $54-$96 bottle?
I've tried them all in the presence of men. I'm averse to base-note florals or really perfume-y smells, but so are most men, so that works out well. I love a few of them, but these men seem to particularly love one of them.
What is it? Aquolina's Pink Sugar. I think it smells mostly like cotton candy and quite a few women believe it is too teenager-ish of a smell. But let me tell you, I've had strange men approach me to tell me I smell good, I've had several men at social activities sidle up next to me to the point of being creepy (but I still love you!), and it just makes me happy when I catch a whiff. I shouldn't give away my secret, but there you go ladies - go get 'em!

I never realized the purpose of perfume was to attract attention from strangers.

If you even pretend for one minute you've never fantasized about attention from a mysterious, attractive stranger, then you are a liar, sir:-) And everyone familiar starts out as a stranger. But some just become stranger. Bad pun:-)

But that's really not the purpose...the purpose is to make me smell nice for all of those amazing people I already know...and if any of them are interested in being attracted to me, then I welcome the challenge!
