Even though I tend to dress on androgynous side, the minimalist, I have this soft spot for fruity, girly scents. I think they give everyone a whiff of my girly, bubbly, sweet inner self.
I made a closer inspection of the bottle after inhaling the scent of a lifetime and in particular its hot-pink, shiny, metallic box. It came with its own cardboard sleeve with silver lines roaming all over it, featuring a large photo of a provocatively posed semi-celebrity and at about six different places, her name embossed in large silver script – Paris Hilton.

When the fruity scent first grabbed me by the nostrils, I didn’t know much about Paris Hilton, honestly. I did not have any idea on why she was famous in the first place, nor had I seen one of her TV shows. But I was well aware that celebrity fragrances that are sold at Walmart and CVS are not regarded as trendy, cool, or made for adults. But to me, brand names have never meant that much.
With a $400 Opening Ceremony sweater if I fall in love, I’ll buy it and with a pair of $14 boys’ payless boots if I fall in love, I’ll buy them also.
So, the irony piqued my interest after discovering that this new, amazing aroma was Paris Hilton’s signature ’04 fragrance in fact, but made no difference in my opinion ultimately. After smelling, I liked it so much that I had no chance except to snag it.
I have stayed true to Paris, over the years. Paris is a beauty editor and from her swag bag, she’ll sometimes slip me a freebie. She has hooked me up with Dior Miss Dior, Marc Jacobs’ Daisy, Jean Paul Gaultier Classique X and Thierry Mugler – everyone would expect me to wear the type of scents. But I would not change. Instead, I enjoy the surprised looks and just sit back when co-workers and friends tell me I smell nice and that they can get their own bottle for under $20, I tell them it’s Paris Hilton.

Few weeks ago, I ran out of Paris Hilton. To replace it, I just didn’t have the time to run down to CVS. With the aforementioned Marc Jacobs Daisy, I substituted it, but it wasn’t the same. When to the office, I finally had Amazon ship a new bottle; no one believed here I wasn’t ironic. But, it smells amazing.
Now, I’ll admit that in my bathroom, I keep a bottle of Miss Dior displayed more prominently. Though, the truth is that I’m a Paris Hilton woman. So, judge it yourself.
