Vanilla Fields by Coty represents my first great love. I had been given a deodorant body spray of this scent and I was wearing it when I got together with my him when I was 20 (it was at a Christmas party and I had a fair bit to drink and I smoked as well so it shows that the scent lingers, despite the smell of alcohol and cigarettes!). He loved the smell and bought me a bottle of the perfume. I can't smell this and not recall the headiness of first love and the feeling that I had arrived.
I am not usually a fan of vanilla but it is the jasmine in this scent that drew me to it. Of course now, I can't wear the stuff because it make me remember him and even though I am now married with a baby, I still have very loving, fond memories of this man. (Boo hoo...get out the violins! Or is it my postnatal hormones?)
