I have always enjoyed wearing fragrance and still do - now in a slightly limited capacity....

I suppose in any setting we must consider the sensitivities others may have of scents. Most workplaces ask staff to refrain from wearing fragrance or scented products. I make a choice each workday not to wear fragrance or scented products. I will admit that each morning before I leave home I feel as though I am forgetting something.

I know immediately what it is I’m missing…I longing look at my fragrance tray thinking what fragrance mood am I in today?

• Eau de Parfum by Gucci
• Caleche by Hermes
• Fracas de Robert Piguet
• Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan
• Jess by Jessica McClintock

You see, I have always felt that the scent of a person can provide a level of attraction that lingers in one’s mind. Scent may “say” I’m shy or I’m bold or maybe a little flirtatious. Scent can provide us with an insight to a person’s personality perhaps before we even get a chance to speak.

There have been times where I have walked past a perfect stranger and have found myself looking back, because of an alluring scent that has captured my senses.

I can hardly wait for my day off!
