Perfume is often considered a staple in the world of beauty. It can instantly elevate one’s mood with just a simple spritz. While other beauty products like foundation, mascara, and lipstick may come with challenges such as shade matching or living up to their claims, perfume is seemingly more straightforward to use and enjoy. Despite this, some individuals may find themselves sticking to the same scents for years, as in the case of the author who has not purchased a new perfume in a decade.
The author admits to being set in their ways when it comes to fragrances, with Viktor & Rolf’s ‘Flowerbomb’ being a daily go-to and Tom Ford’s ‘Black Orchid’ reserved for special occasions. This sense of familiarity and comfort in certain scents has led them to forego exploring new perfumes for an extended period of time. Additionally, working in the beauty and wellness industry has afforded the author the opportunity to try out various fragrances without having to make purchases.
Despite not actively seeking a new perfume, the author stumbles upon Kylie Jenner’s ‘Cosmic’ and is pleasantly surprised by its appeal. While the author has dabbled in celebrity scents before, ‘Cosmic’ stands out due to its unique composition. Unlike other celebrity fragrances that may lean towards being overly sweet, ‘Cosmic’ is described as warm and comforting, with notes of vanilla and amber. This departure from the typical stereotype of celebrity scents adds to the allure of ‘Cosmic’.
Upon trying ‘Cosmic’, the author notes how the fragrance seems to evolve over time, settling into the skin and transitioning from a strong initial scent to a more subtle aroma. The longevity of the perfume is also praised, with just one spray lasting throughout the day. The author’s appreciation for ‘Cosmic’ extends to its representation of Kylie Jenner herself, embodying a more understated and sophisticated vibe in contrast to her previous bold and flashy image.
A New Addition to the Collection
The author’s decision to purchase ‘Cosmic’ marks the end of a ten-year perfume-buying hiatus. The experience serves as a reminder of the excitement and discovery that come with trying out a new scent. Given the positive reception of ‘Cosmic’ and its resonance with Kylie Jenner’s evolving persona, the author hints at the possibility of exploring more fragrance options in the future. ‘Cosmic’ becomes a symbol of breaking free from routine and embracing change in one’s fragrance preferences.
