The first boy I ever kissed was French. I met him while visiting my family and we spent two days just making out. When I left he gave me a can of his aerosol deorderant, which I thought was very strange, then I opened the lid and his scent swirled up around my head. The smell brought him back as well as all the emotions that I experienced with him, so the whole trip back to the states was spent opening and closing the lid to a man's deoderant can just so I could feel that rush again and again.

I've been very loyal to the Chanel line of scents. I used to wear Crystale, then No. 9. Now I'm wearing a scent made by Guerlain called Grossellina. My mother gave it to me because it's name is a funny mixture between my own maiden name and my married name. It smells fresh, like red currants.

It pisses me off to no end, but I love the new Mariah Carey perfume.

I rarely wear perfume, but I love anything gardenia scented.

Ha! I'm the vanilla person.
I like perfumes without alchohol in them, so I go for custom essential-oil mixes from hippy-type stores. I have a large supply of one particular kind called "water goddess", and a small bit of another I had mixed up for my by a witch in an apothecary in the East Village. It's called "Attraction", she wrote it on the label in ballpoint pen, and it smells better than anything I've ever smelled in a department store, that's for sure.

I have used the same perfume (Sunflowers) since I was 19. A friend of mine walked into work wearing it and I had to buy some. I also love Eternity for men. It's what my husband wore the first time we went out. Yummy! When my husband was in the middle east I used to put some of it on his coat and sleep with it at night.
