I’ve always been intrigued when I’ve seen posts from other bees talking about finding their wedding day perfume. It wasn’t something I’d ever really thought of, mainly for this reason: most perfumes make me sneeze. I don’t wear any perfume for this reason, and I love it when workplaces have a little “this is a scent-free zone” sign. If I buy a deodorant with a different scent than the one that just ran out of, I spend at least a week wondering what that smell is that keeps following me around, before I realise it is me.

But the idea of finding a wedding scent to help bring back memories of the day really interested me so I bit the bullet one day and spent some time in the perfume section of Murale.

There was sneezing. There was sniffling.

I’m sure the sales associates were wondering what communicable disease I had, so they stayed away. But, and this is a big but (I like big buts…), there were some that didn’t make me sneeze! There was one where the bottle actually came in a book-shaped box, which I almost bought just because of the way it fit in with our wedding theme, but the one that won out was Twirl, by Kate Spade.

It didn’t make me sneeze. I liked the smell. Cinnamon Buns liked the smell. I bought it! I didn’t buy the gorgeous bottle (though how pretty would it look in pre-wedding getting ready shots?) but I did buy a little rollerball tube of it.

I like it so much that I didn’t reserve it just for the wedding. I’ve been wearing it on regular days, and I am amazed at how polished I feel all of a sudden. It makes me feel like an honest-to-goodness lady. I’m glad I have it to wear on the wedding day, but I also don’t want to reserve it just for that and anniversaries. I want to wear it all the time!

Did you have a special perfume just for your wedding day? Or will you stick with an old favourite, so you smell like you?
