Scents & Perfumes

Perfume is one of those little luxuries that instantly lifts my mood and helps me feel put together, no matter the occasion. Over the years, I’ve curated a small collection of scents that reflect different sides of my personality—from fresh and clean, to warm and sweet, to playful and flirty. Here are my go-to favorites and how I rate them:

1. Salt & Stone – Bergamot & Hinoki

⭐ 4/5This fragrance is crisp, grounding, and effortlessly chic. The bergamot adds a zesty freshness, while the hinoki wood gives it a calming, earthy vibe. It’s perfect for when I want that “freshly washed linen and open window breeze” kind of mood. I love how unique it feels, but it doesn’t last as long as some of my other perfumes.

2. Glossier – Fleur

⭐ 4/5Fleur is delicate and dreamy, with a soft floral heart that feels fresh and romantic. It’s feminine without being overpowering—light, airy, and graceful. I wear it when I want to feel extra pretty and polished. The only reason it’s not a full 5 stars is because it’s subtle and doesn’t always stick around all day.

3. Jo Malone – Wood Sage & Sea Salt

⭐ 5/5This is my idea of a beach getaway in a bottle. It’s salty, airy, and a little earthy, with just the right amount of woodiness to keep it sophisticated. It’s unique, versatile, and I always get compliments when I wear it. Truly timeless and one of my top signature scents.

4. Dolce & Gabbana – Light Blue

⭐ 4.5/5An absolute classic. With its bright citrus and apple notes balanced by soft musk, it’s vibrant and refreshing. I love how energizing it feels for daytime wear, especially in spring and summer. It’s a crowd-pleaser for sure, though since it’s so popular, it doesn’t feel as “unique” as some of the others.

5. Sol de Janeiro – Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68

⭐ 4.5/5This one is pure fun in a bottle—flirty, fruity, and tropical, with notes of jasmine and pink dragonfruit. It instantly gives vacation vibes, and the body mist format makes it perfect for layering or freshening up throughout the day. It’s not as sophisticated as a perfume, but that’s also what makes it so carefree and playful.

✨ Why I Love This Mix

What ties all of these perfumes together is their balance between freshness and warmth. None of them feel too heavy or overwhelming, yet each one has its own personality. Some are cozy and floral, while others lean more vibrant and playful. Having this variety means I can match my scent to my mood, whether I’m working from home, heading out with friends, or just wanting a little pick-me-up.
