The Way It Makes You FEEL (signature scent)

Greetings and salutations, fellow fragrance enthusiasts!

Right now, I'm fortunate enough to at this moment, bask in the warm, velvety opulent embrace of Jean Patou's classic, Joy (parfum). Wearing JOY, I always feel like this:
ENYA - Caribbean Blue

Sitting in my office, Enya's "Caribbean Blue" sings out from my tiny BOSE and inside the red canvas, metal-framed pet kennel next to me is the tiniest, frailest kitten I've ever seen; "Crusty", so named from the mucous in his eyes, went to the doctor yesterday (the day we found him) and his general prognosis for having a life, a decent one, is good.

When I wear JOY, the world is transformed into an exponentially better place to be overall. I'm happier, more patient, kinder, gentler, more settled and sublime. I'm likely to be more optimistic as well (like the beautiful Enya song).

What images/ songs/ other does wearing your own signature scent inspire?
How does it make you feel?

I don't have a signature scent, per se, but when I wear Liz Claiborne (the one in the plastic triangle), it transports me back to the late 80's and the easier days of high school and when I actually had a social life! It reminds me of prom, and when I think of prom, I think of the song by Bon Jovi "I'll Be There For You." I don't know why. That must have been our theme that year, but I can't really recall.

Great article! My two signatures, Angelique Noire and Fantasia, give me a sense of pure euphoria. They're both cozy scents--AN takes me back to a more innocent place in my psyche and Fantasia is free spirited.
