I remember it well. I was in high school and had received a bottle of Victoria’s Secret body lotion in the scent Rapture. It was a throwaway gift, one I imagine the giver didn’t think much of. But I wore it, as I dressed myself up as much as I did as a teenager and sat at the park with friends. A boy walked by wanting to know who it was that smelled so good. It was the invisible scent cloud around me, and yet I felt seen, and I felt beautiful.
That bottle of lotion is long finished, and the fragrance has been discontinued. I’ve gone on the hunt for similar fragrances that give me the same feeling. The closest has been Dior’s Hypnotic Poison, but it lacks that musk element. I’ll keep looking.
Do you have a similar experience? Have you ever had a fragrance connect you to particular time or feeling?
