And you're right about the top two - that was easy! The third one was difficult, maybe because choosing the last of anything is difficult.<br /><br />My nose changes constantly and absolutely cannot be trusted to remain the same from year to year. I take that in stride now and it sometimes makes the current love affair with a perfume a bit sweeter.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-89290779788838329272011-07-06T21:04:05.494-06:002011-07-06T21:04:05.494-06:00I could live with three perfumes for a month. 3x12...I could live with three perfumes for a month. 3x12=36 36 perfumes a year sounds reasonable to me. Of course, reason has nothing to do with perfume, does it?<br /><br />I can't do a top three. Oddly, I can do a top two:<br /><br />Lutens' Chergui<br />L'artisan's Passage D'Enfer<br /><br />I don't trust my summer nose. Last year, I couldn't get enough of Parfums de Nicolai's Vie de Chateau. Now I can't stand it. A the moment I'm wearing Bulgari's Au The Rouge, which I had previously thought of as a good air freshener!Julie H.

Just because they didn't make the top three doesn't mean we don't love them, right?Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-37803288965302436402011-07-05T05:51:25.650-06:002011-07-05T05:51:25.650-06:00*jen, tell me about it.

But there will always be those few that I will feel awful about leaving behind.
