So there is not much I love about the eighties, except for
the music. I certainty do not miss
all the neon and big hair, but when I think about the music I think Madonna,
Cindy Lauper, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard…. I could keep going. I think everyone has
some favorite 80’s artists. What’s the artist or song you miss most?
I have a place in my heart for Soft Cell’s Tainted Love… My
husband and I used to joke that it was our song. Yeah we’re a little quirky,
but that’s ok right? For the
longest time it was the ring tone on my phone for my husband. So when I saw Tokyomilk
Dark Tainted Love Eau De Parfum, I had to have it.
Now, I know you are not supposed to purchase perfume online.
Normally, I would go to the mall, spray some on and then walked around the mall
to see how it translates with my body’s chemicals. Unfortunately, Sephora did
not carry this in a store by me, so I held my breath and made the online
purchase.
I could not be more pleased! It is the perfect warm, winter
scent. The keynotes are dark vanilla bean, orchid, white tea and sandalwood. It
has a very unique scent and I love the modern, simple lines of the bottle. (We
all know how important packaging is.)
I’m not usually a huge fan of vanilla, and I really do try and stay away from
those scents. Doesn’t matter if it is a perfume, lotion or a candle, the smell
of vanilla makes me want to bake a batch of cookies and proceed to eat all of
them (this can be very dangerous)!!!! Luckily, while there is a touch of
vanilla, the sandalwood does a nice job of countering the sweetness.
The longevity of the perfume is great as well. I put it on
in the morning, (I leave the house at 6:45 AM) and by 5:00 in the evening I can
still smell it lingering on my wrists.
Tainted Love is now my signature winter scent. What’s yours?
