Hi! My name is
Kaisa. I’m Estonian living in Italy and I’m obsessed with perfumes. English and
Italian are not my native languages so I apologize in advance for my rough use
of words!
Odors are like small ghosts - we cannot see them, we cannot
touch them, but they exist and we detect them with any breathe. And there are Noses
– masters of perfumery able to collect primary aromas in evocative, enjoyable combinations
calling them perfumes and giving us the possibility to choose odors to inspire.
We may easily live without perfumes, but
for me it’s just one of things that appears reverse. Perfumes are both – superfluous and
essential. We need emotions that actually are the real force that keeps us
alive and colors our lives. And
here I find myself with these little ghosts – perfumes - offering me an endless
number of them. Perfumes
are my therapy. They heal me from sadness and melancholy; they work as an injection
of energy or an sedative, they may be a compliment I need to hear, a ray of sun
that brings a sunshine and happiness to my life and a touch of sensuality or transgression,
if I want.
We cannot choose
whether to breathe or not, but we can choose the fragrance that surround us and
enters from our nostrils.
That’s why I write about
perfumes. I love testing fragrances and have done it since I remember. Any of
them have something to say and some, the best of them, are able to tell us
stories. All my memories are connected with smells, both – pleasant and
unpleasant and I remember persons by perfumes they used to wear. My reviews and
opinions are subjective, but I’m glad if my writings help someone to orientate
in this wonderful crazy World of Perfumes.
