I've been trying to sort out my catalogue (I'm being ambitious here) of samples for months, so what better day to do it than a rotten Monday? Actually, now that I have almost completed it, save for a few bags of stuff, I feel that it was therapeutic for me (I'm cleansed, I tell you). It was like a trip down memory lane. hauling out and sniffing samples that I haven't smelled, yet alone touched for years.
In all seriousness though, I did feel very happy doing it and it made me realise just how many lovely perfumes I have been fortunate to smell over the years I've been collecting. Many of the samples brought back a very strong sense of memory of a place or a feeling. For example I could recall an event I wore it to, or on occasion to remember, or even where I bought it or which kind soul passed it on to me. I've had a lot of kind people share perfume with me, and I'd just like to thank all of you who have done just that. You know who you are.
It is so worth it, isn't it? I'm so happy that I did it too recently.
