Well, let me tell you somethin’ about this paper perfume. I heard some folks talkin’ about it, sound like a newfangled thing. This old gal, I don’t know much about fancy stuff. But I heard them young people talkin’ about it down at the market. They say it’s like perfume, but you know, on paper. Not like the spray kind or the oily kind you dab on.
Some people, they like the spray kind. You know, the kind in those glass bottles, like Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette. They say Eau de Parfum is strong, like a good, strong cup of coffee. It got, like, 10-20% of that perfume oil, whatever that is. Supposed to last a long time, like 8 hours or somethin’. Then there’s that Eau de Toilette, not as strong, only 5-15% of that oil stuff.
Now, I reckon this paper perfume is different. It ain’t like those bottles. Them young people was sayin’ it’s easier to carry around. You ain’t gotta worry about no glass breakin’ or spillin’ in your bag. They said it is good for traveling or taking to your workplace. If you always go out, you may want to use it. That’s what they said anyway.
- Spray perfume, that’s the one that you can spray all over, like a cloud.
- Oily perfume, that’s the kind you just put a little bit on your wrist or neck.
- And now this paper perfume, sounds like somethin’ new altogether.
They say this paper perfume, it lasts a good while. But it don’t smell so strong all around you. Like, you gotta get real close to smell it. The spray kind, everyone can smell that from a mile away. This paper kind, it’s more private, I guess. Just for you and maybe someone standin’ real close.
Some folks like that spray kind because you can spray it anywhere. Your clothes, your hair, even in the air if you want. But that glass bottle, that’s a problem if you’re movin’ around a lot. This paper kind, you just put it where you want it. No sprayin’, no mess. Just stick it on, I suppose. Sounds simple enough.
Now, they say that perfume smells different on your skin than it does on paper. I reckon that’s true. Everyone’s different, like how we all like different kinds of pie. Your skin, it’s got its own way of smellin’, I guess. They say it’s got somethin’ to do with, what did they call it, “skin chemistry”, like your pH levels or something, and how warm your body is. It is complicated. All sound complicated.
This paper perfume, it is becoming popular. Everyone is talking about it, it seems. Wonder what it smells like? They say it smells like paper. Imagine that. Don’t know if I’d want to smell like paper, but who am I to say? Maybe it’s nice. They say the smell is mostly the same as the spray one. They just made it into a paper. But I don’t know how they do it. Too complicated for me.
I remember back in my day, we didn’t have all these choices. You had your perfume, and that was that. Now, there’s spray, there’s oil, there’s solid, and now paper. It’s a lot to keep up with. I guess it’s good to have choices. But sometimes, too many choices just make things confusing.
I guess it all comes down to what you like. If you like to spray, you spray. If you like to dab, you dab. And if you want to stick some paper perfume on you, well, you go right ahead. There is no right or wrong. Just different ways of doin’ things. It depends on your lifestyle and what you prefer, they said. But those young people may know more about it than me.
So, this paper perfume, it’s somethin’ new. Somethin’ different. Might be worth a try, might not. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, the world keeps changin’. And sometimes, it’s hard to keep up. But that’s okay. We all just do the best we can, right? And if that means tryin’ out some newfangled paper perfume, well, then so be it. I might try it myself, just to see what all the fuss is about. But I still like my old perfume just fine.
