I've spent 25 years in fragrance. I once gave a keynote for P&G on how scent affects purchase decisions, at Fragrance Exploration in Coral Gables, Florida. In 2018 I manufactured a wood wick candle line for DaySpring. So scent isn't just something I like. It's something I've lived in for a long time.

These are the ones I love, plus a few I started out with.

Versace Dylan Blue, Dior Joy and Mugler Angel perfume bottles side by side

Scent Layering Trio Fave

Why my fave? It's bright enough to be welcoming, grounded enough to feel confident, and warm enough to feel completely like me.
