The Scent of a Lady
and a
Giveaway
From The
Everyday Quaintrelle
Over the years my scents have changed I still remember my
first perfume I ever bought; it was Electric Youth. Do you remember that one?
It was fashioned after Debbie Gibson’s song. I wore or more like drenched
myself in that scent.
My next two that I used to keep in rotation was Baby Love
Soft and Navy.
Years went by and I began to go through changes, not knowing who
I was exactly. Wasn’t until my mid-twenties did I start looking at perfume
again. It all sparked when my mother came by to visit and when I hugged her I
smelled her, I embraced her and was flooded with childhood memories all from a
simple scent. The scent of a lady, and that lady was my mother. The scent
brought back emotions and warm feelings. I remember thinking I want to have
that same feeling. I want when I am away my scent to linger. To evoke warm
feelings, and happy thoughts. Especially now as a mother. My children come in
close and hug, cuddle, sit in my lap and they always come in closer to inhale
mommy. They always say how they love how I smell. My first adult scent was Ralph Lauren
Romance. I wore it for 15 years. It wasn’t until I was in Nordstrom just
lingering around the perfume did I fall in love with another scent Jo Malone.
To this day though when I am out and about and happen to smell Ralph Lauren
Romance it evokes such happy feelings and memories of new beginnings. It truly
is a special scent.
Now it is a personal decision to wear perfume and I will not
nag you if you should or should not wear perfume. I can only say I personally
love to wear it, I love having my own scent, something that lingers. So instead
here are some simple ways to wear it and make it effective. How to honor your fragrance by wearing it in
the most beautiful and long-lasting way.
*Pulse Points. A good opening strategy for applying
fragrance is to recognize your pulse points. Much is said about these
concentrated zones, but why are they significant and where are they all?
“Spraying pulse points will cause perfume to radiate more strongly from the
extra blood heat in those areas. They would be behind the ear, around the neck
and on the throat, wrists and ankles.
*Your hair! Hair is porous so fragrance molecules permeate
for longer than on skin. Spray on clean hair only for great tenacity and
diffusion. This goes for the tops of your wrists too; while the underneath is
indeed a warm pulse point, the forearms have porous hairs that cling onto
fragrance very well, and you’re less likely to rinse it off that area when you
wash your hands. But never, ever use fragrance as a substitute for washing!
* Your clothes. There is something so comforting about your
own lingering perfume released from the weave of a shawl or scarf– a long, deep
inhalation can be quite the escape to the hectic world around you. Keep it
light and fresh.
* Layering! It isn’t a scam when the associates try to persuade
you to buy the body wash, lotion and powder. It is to layer up the fragrance. The fragrance is always essentially the same,
but each product will emanate a different version of it, beginning a trail if
you wish.
So with all that said how about a giveaway. Who would like to win a fragrance. A dear favorite.
