How I love those days when our old back yard was full of
orchids!
Nowadays, there's nothing that reminds me of those beautiful and
fragrant flowers as a good perfume with orchid notes.
My love for those unique flowers started at a young age
while I was playing and running outside an old colonial house in South
America . You could easily smell the aromatic exotic flowers of Venezuela 's Tropical Gardens
Years pass by and I still recall those days every single
time I smell a fragrance which notes include Orchids. I can not help myself
but to get a sample-or two- and take them home.
I have tried so many good perfumes with orchids notes that I have lost count. I have make this post
to show you the ones I like the most. Two of the fragrances in the list I always keep in
my perfume tray -Flowerbomb and Euphoria- together with Coco Mademoiselle and
Hypnotic Poison, of course, which I can not go without.
Unfortunately, I can not go back to Venezuela and when I
feel nostalgic I simply get my Flowerbomb perfume and I spritz on a little bit
and I am instantly taken back to my youth days.
Having fragrances that remind you of places you have been
before, or people you have met it is, somehow, therapeutic. Dwelling in the
past, however, it is not. I personally use fragrances to help myself soothe and
relax from a hard day at work.
