July Theme: My Newest Fragrance: First Impressions
"New" fragrances often come with a story – how you got it, what you hoped for, your initial reaction.
Guiding Questions for Discussion:
Introduction:
- What is your newest fragrance? (Brand, Name, Concentration if known)
- How did it become "new" to you? (Was it a recent purchase, a thoughtful gift, a swap, a decant, or a long-owned sample you just decided to fully explore?)
- What initially drew you to it? (Notes, bottle, brand reputation, a review you read, a personal recommendation?)
First Impressions & Evolution:
- What were your very first thoughts when you smelled it? (Did you love it, hate it, feel confused?)
- How has it worn on your skin so far? (Has it surprised you? How does it evolve from opening to dry down? What's its longevity and sillage like?)
- What specific notes, accords, or feelings jump out to you?
Expectations vs. Reality:
- Did it live up to your expectations, or defy you?
- Has your opinion of it changed since you first acquired it? If so, how?
Its Place in Your Collection & Future:
- What "role" do you envision this perfume playing in your collection? (e.g., A daily go-to, a special occasion scent, a mood booster, a unique outlier?)
- Does it fill a gap, or is it similar to something you already own?
- How do you anticipate wearing it in the future? (Specific seasons, occasions, or moods?)
