TOM FORD Champaca Absolute

Champaca Absolute from Tom Ford Private Blend collection is described as Intricate, Mysterious and Passionate. I promised myself a perfume after getting promoted and this is the one. Actually all my Tom Ford perfume is about 1/4 left so it is also the time to seek for a new one. I never doubt TF's perfume since it lasts for the whole day (I can still smell it after gym!) while the scent is unique.

I was about to buy Costa Azzurra which is another Private Blend. It is very Italian while so Turkish to me because not only I was surrounding by this scent in Istanbul last Summer, but I also wore it on myself too. Scent makes vivid images. Even the little parts that you do not think you remember popped up when the scent goes into your mind. It is one of my favourite scents but I know I have to choose something else. So Champaca Absolute is the choice.

According to the internet, top notes are cognac, bergamot and dyer’s greenweed; middle notes are champaca, orchid, violet and jasmine; base notes are vanilla, amber, sandalwood and marron glace. Not an expert on describing scent, but I think this scent suits me well. It is not too feminine but it is enough to arouse your interest.

Love,

Sonia

TWO WEEKS IN THE LIFE | 20 JUN - 3 JUL

Training for New Role

For the past week, I attended training for my new role. It included a lot of product selling skills which I am really not familiar with so I paid extra attention on these classes because I want to absorb the knowledge but also make it myself with my personality so the speaking skills would not be too weird. Two more weeks of training then I will be in on-the-job training in my branch. It made me excited but also (good?!) kind of scared. Fighting!!!

Just turned ONE!

My niece has just turned ONE!!! She is definitely a happy and strong baby. This little peanut grows up so fast that she is going to walk soon with her little strong legs and of course she always throws things here and there. 

Half year marked

Time passes really quick especially when you realized 2016 has already gone by half. You just cannot help but ask yourself: how much have you achieved this year and how do you feel?

Love,

Sonia
