I have a very sensitive nose. And while it can be fun to sniff odors out and impress people with my accuracy, it also means that I can't really get away with wearing perfume. It gives me a headache, can make me feel nauseous and turns pleasant smells into bad memories because of these discomforts. I gave up on perfume long ago. So imagine my surprise when I was working at the
On 3 Productions Gift Lounge at
The Spirit Awards and my perfume world got turned upside down. Dior was gifting the presenters with their choice of perfumes and in preparation, they were next to me spraying sample sticks to help the celebrities choose their scent. Usually this would be a bit of a nightmare for me, but instead it turned into a world of discovery. I started sniffing the air like a bloodhound. What was that beautiful scent, full of fresh florals, particularly lilies?, I asked the Dior girls. They were impressed (told you my nose can be fun), and they said, It's
Diorissimo - do you want to wear some? Oh no, that's ok, was my response (I mean, I'm sensitive). But they were persistent so I caved to spritzing some on my wrist. Sweet nectar of the Dior gods! The scent was so light and delicate. It made me feel happy and beautiful. And I realized, I can wear perfume! I can have a signature scent! So now Diorissimo proudly sits on my vanity and graciously enhances the eau de meagan that, until now, was all that I could handle.
