"For a ginger scent, try Hugo Boss Deep Red. I must issue a blanket warning, though. All Hugo Boss scents smell powdery. This is more noticable on some people than on others; some love it, some hate it."

Could you explain what you mean by powdery scent? I wear this and it's a really lovely scent. Not too heavy, not too light, slightly musky but also delicate.

I am considering buying Bulgari's Eau Parfumée Thé Rouge which is heavier and sweeter but has similar notes - what do you think of this scent?

For some background: I am 26 and an artist, quite feminine and delicate and like to wear understated but attractive clothing (when I can ), am an introvert though I speak my mind and can be very direct when I believe it necessary. Am always indecisive whether my favourite colour is red or sky blue - depends on my mood.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
