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.
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.
