For the Love of Perfume

It seems so long ago when I'd pore over my mother's AVON catalog and long for the day when I could finally wear perfume. Then, one day during my adolescent years, after the AVON lady made her delivery, my mother pulled a bottle of Sweet Honesty from the bag and handed it to me. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I was a woman now.
There's something about perfume that is so personal, even when thousands of other women are wearing the same scent. The way the chemicals interact with your body to make it your own. It somehow helps us to be the women we want to be, gives us an attitude, a demeanor, and announces to others what kind of woman we’ve become.

Here are some of the perfumes I’ve worn since the AVON lady left that first delivery for me.
