Daily Inspiration Quote by Lisa Snowdon

"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

There is something slyly revealing about the way airport duty-free becomes a playground in Lisa Snowdon's line: a supposedly liminal, in-between space recast as a private ritual of self-making. The setting matters. Airports are engineered for impulse and disorientation; you arrive stripped of routine, primed to buy a version of yourself that can fit in a carry-on. By naming World Duty Free and the act of "popping in", she frames consumption as casual, even cheeky - not a purchase so much as a little treat you deserve for surviving security.

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.
