What’s with my obsession with 香水?

Kiehls 

Only at our second stop to Kiehls (first being in Boston. Second stop in this original apothecary at the corner of 13th St and 3rd Ave.) did I notice this edt. Do they have this in SIN? 

My pic is the side view as I was crossing the road

With aromas of Bergamot Nectar, Orange Blossom and – of course – Musk, our signature scent is a soft, aromatic scent for both men and women. Believed to have been created in the 1920s, our iconic “Love Oil” was reintroduced to our customers in 1963. Kiehl’s Musk Eau de Toilette Spray is a modern take on our signature Musk fragrance.

I found out days later after arrival in SIN that it’s sold here as well, but at S$150!!!! I paid only US$48 (approx S$65) 

MAC Cosmetics - Turquatic

Next is this sampler piece of paper which I left aside in my folder. I haven’t seen this for a very long time, where I used to see them in magazines. 

Didn’t have the time to open it and smell it until we got back home. 

Woah! I love the smell. 

A classic sea-inspired fragrance with notes of anemone, lotus, orris, cottonwood, mineral water and Corsican blue cedar 

whatever smell anemone and orris (wth is that?!) gives out definitely smells nice. 😜

Found out more info about this perfume. Apparently it was launched in 2005 and then re-released in 2011. What?! Checked and not available locally. So immediately went into mac online and placed my order. Of course I went for the bigger bottle. 

I’m still using my Chanel Allure. Have an unopened Bvlgari Green Tea and now two more new fragrances (2 bottles each). I think can last me for the next 5years 🤭.
