THE SCENT OF IT ALL

Having a signature fragrance can be a good or a bad thing. Many people start with one scent and refuse to change. Scents have a huge impact on our senses, they conjure up memories. But, sometimes it is good to mix it up every once in a while and try a new scent.

Have an everyday work scent, something that is not too offensive to those around you. Get an after hour fragrance and a weekend fragrance, these scent can be stronger if you choose. For those that choose to go au naturale, make sure your scent or odor is not too offensive either

Alternatives to perfume atomizers: try pure parfumes, solid perfume sticks, or essential oils. Or use the items that come in a gift set by themselves, use the shower gel and body cremes without the spray.

QUICK TIP: When buying new perfume, try no more than three scents on. Walk around with the scents for about an hour or so before going back to buy it.
