It is absolutely true that we associate scents with specific moments and memories in our lives. For me, I would always go and get my make-up done for high school dances, prom, etc. with my best friends at MAC. MAC made this great perfume called "Turquatic" which I bought as an afterthought on one of these occasions. I ended up loving it - it was crisp and refreshing, you could wear it anytime, and it was perfect for summer. I love love loved this scent and I kind of felt like it was "my scent". Frequently, people would mention that they liked the scent and I liked that it wasn't common and so it stood out a little bit. I ran out of it after leaving the U.S. and heading out to Thailand. I wish I would have had the foresight to buy another bottle before I left, but I didn't and since then, I've been searching for it. Even this past weekend in Bangkok, I dragged my crew to the MAC counter to inquire about what fragrances they carried - no Turquatic. So, I got online today to look into ordering some and they are discontinuing it! Discontinuing! And I'm not around to get any moreeeee! Heart Break! haha, but seriously - this is depressing.
But in all seriousness - so many events/people happen in your life that you associate smells with in your memory. Not in a creepy "can I smell your hair" kind of way, but in a "this laundry detergent smells like my grandparents house" or "my ex-girlfriend used to wear this kick ass perfume that is now discontinued!"
haha. RIP Turquatic.
