Sixth Scents

My journey to becoming a true fashionista included the necessary acquisition of a signature scent.  For some reason, that's the one thing about me that really sticks with people.  I really started my quest back in high school, scouring the perfume counters with my mom.  After many trips, coffee bean refreshers and bouts of lightheadedness, I finally settled on Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue.  Since then, it's become my scent, at least in my circle.  However, it's been 7 years and in that time it's become rather popular...eponymous with the sorority crowd.  Eh, no good.  So, now I am beginning to embark on discovering a new scent.  Something worthy to usher in this new chapter of my life.  A little more professional, a little more sophisticated.  Oh, and undeniably chic.  

Upon hearing that Chloé was introducing a perfume, I knew I was going to love it.  Unfortunately, I forgot about it for about 2 years, but then happened to catch the perfectly-toussled heads of Chloe Sevigny/Anja Rubik/Clemence Poesy in the commercials.  After failed attempts at Rosedale Sephora and Herberger's, I finally got my first whiffs at Macy's in Edina and fell in love instantly (to the chagrin of the sales woman who was set on bargaining with me to purchase the new Issey Miyake--when did selling perfume become akin to selling cars or knockoffs in Chinatown?).  At the moment, I'm really tempted by Chloé's simple lightness.  Normally I'm not one for anything overly girly in the perfume department, or any department that is except shoes.  But, Chloé is subtle.  Maybe a tad too subtle.  I'm gonna needs some time to think this over.  As anyone knows, cultivating a signature scent does not happen over night.  Wish me (and my nose) luck!
