I only dedicated to each of my fragrances, but once I became a beauty editor and had the right to try many different types at once, my collection natural expansion. I’m so grateful — it’s certainly a big boon in this career. But sometimes, I miss how special it is to wear a particular perfume for years and it’s something people associate with me. However, I am not one to complain, and now I have the privilege of changing my fragrance depending on the mood or the season and trying certain fragrances that I might have been hesitant to try. before. I have also found a new appreciation for fragrance in recent years thanks to my friend and colleague, Krista Burton, who knows everything under the sun about perfume. Whenever we were in the same city, we would go to a perfume shop to hunt for new scents and stock up on samples.
As you will soon find out, many of the perfumes that I use are gourmet scents. Even so, I love a flower sometime. However, you will not find Rose water in this list. (Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with my chemistry and gives me a headache every time, which is a pity because I love roses and rose scents in general.)
