Secret- I 'collect' perfume bottles
Confession- I collect the very last spray---I have probably 10 bottles of perfume with one spray left just so I can smell them. Why?
Each bottle holds memories of my past. For instance, Escape reminds me of 1995- I had NO responsibilities and made about 32k a year as a customer service rep for a third party administrator and all I did was shop and party ;-)
Beautiful reminds me of Christmas at my dads, esp. one year when I received a bible with my name engraved (thanks dad and Sue) a camera I wanted, and a bottle of Beautiful.
It sounds weird but the scents seem to always hold a special memory or time in my life.
