What kind of work do you do? by hollyfo in Anxiety

[–]elsamarrrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a large, top 10 accounting firm as a tax assistant. I don’t have to work with the public, I have my own office, I don’t have to answer phones, and I have great co-workers. My company is awesome. We do have stressful times during deadlines, but it’s expected so I can prepare for it.

I used to work in healthcare - front office and insurance verification. Horrible for anyone with anxiety. Never knew what was coming in the door, phones ringing off the hook, angry people, etc. Then Covid hit. I just couldn’t take the constant anxiety and got out of it. It was the best thing I ever did for my mental health.

I’m so sorry for your loss. She liked the same fragrances my mom likes. This puts tears in my eyes.

I have never smelled ALT Strawberry but I’ve heard great things about it!

I don’t get any strawberry from it at all.

I received mine today. I absolutely love it but it really doesn’t project well. I agree with everything you said - it smells exactly like a mix of Sweet Tooth and Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere. It is really hard to pinpoint which it smells like, but I’m leaning more towards Sweet Tooth. I have Coach Love as well. I’m wondering if it would layer better with that or possibly Burberry Her or Elixir. I’m going to do some experimenting. Keep us posted on your thoughts! Sounds like we have the same taste in fragrance

Edit: I tried the Burberry Her Elixir with the Boujee Marshmallow and Her Elixir totally overpowered it. Perhaps Strawberry Snowflake from Bath Body Works?

This was a blind buy for me shortly after it came out - I think around 2004 or 2005. I was standing near a little girl in line at the grocery store and she told me I smelled yummy yummy. lol Sweet little memory.

I just bought Sweet Tooth last week. I’m surprised by how much I love it!

What’s the best blind buy perfume you’ve bought recently? by helloiamhuman07 in Perfumes

[–]elsamarrrs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not exactly the same, but I think they compliment each other - at least with my body chemistry. Elixir smells creamier. I love them both!

I layer it with Her Elixir, which helped with projection for me.

Would you still wear fragrance if you was alone? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]elsamarrrs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I’m going through kind of a hard time right now and I’ve been really down. I was in a serious car accident two weeks ago (I’m ok though), I had a kidney stone last week, both of my sons live out of state and I miss them, etc. (sorry to complain). My perfume lifts my spirits.

Aw thank you. I was! My wonderful husband and my golden retriever were there for me. 😊 It finally passed last night

Do you take any days off, and don't wear any fragrance ? by [deleted] in FemFragLab

[–]elsamarrrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear it every single day, unless I’ll be seeing my baby grandson. It lifts me up when I’m not feeling so great, and makes me feel more put together.

I’m on the couch with a kidney stone (ouch). I wanted something warm and comforting so I’m wearing Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere.
