"I enjoy popping in to World Duty Free at the airport and trying out perfumes - I can never resist a new scent"
About this Quote
Perfume is the perfect object for this kind of confession because it sells fantasy with plausible deniability. You are not buying a handbag that announces status from across the room; you're buying an invisible aura, a narrative only the close world can detect. "Trying out" softens the commerce into play, but the kicker is the admission of compulsion: "I can never resist". It's a wink at the addictive logic of the beauty industry, where novelty is packaged as self-discovery and each "new scent" promises a fresh mood, a fresh persona, a fresh start - conveniently timed to departures.
Coming from a model, the subtext carries extra charge. Her work is built on surfaces, presentation, and the constant churn of reinvention. The quote normalizes that churn in everyday terms: even off the runway, identity is something you sample from a tester strip. It's not profound, but it is telling: modern glamour isn't always grand; sometimes it's a quick spritz between gate announcements.
