The nose wants what it can't have

It's been 20 crazy days without shopping and I still have 10 more to go.  I've successfully managed to window shop and browse online, yes, without making a single purchase.  Who knew I had it in me? 
I've made a mental list of what I would like to purchase once I'm released from this self-imposed contract. One of my first stops will good ol' Mecca Cosmetica to the purchase the gorgeous smelling Tocca 'Florence' fragrance (pictured above) and oh, a bottle of nail polish, of course.

I did a Writing & Cultural Studies degree at uni and in every single Cultural Studies subject I studied, we would discuss the 'sensory memories'.  When I smelt this perfume which boasts Ivory Gardenia, Bergamot and crush violet petals, the scent took me to somewhere familiar but where, I cannot recall.  It reminded me of my old boss, Emily, but no, it must be a smell from somewhere else as I know she wears Diptyque Don Son.  Perhaps when it is actually mine smelling it again and again will unlock the memory.  

There is one thing I know for certain, however. Byredo Parfums Rose Noir EDP smells like sexy man.  You read it here first...
