Personal perfumes, anyone?

Today I read that now perfumers based out of Paris and Italy (where else!) are developing personal perfumes for clients who can afford to pay the steep price for the same.

The process starts with profiling i.e. asking questions to gauge the client's personality. This is followed by sampling of scents and tests on which ingredients suit the client skin. Then the development and testing of the finished product. The formula used to make the perfume can also be used to make bath oil, body lotion, shampoo, soaps and incense sticks!

How I wish we all could bottle up all the scents we love. I would go for the scent of the earth after the first shower of the season, the ssentl of the flowers that grow in forests away from prying eyes, the earthy fragrance of the mountains and the scent of the tall green grass sparkling with rain-drops......
