What is your first or most cherished scent memory?
The idea of a signature scent is what started my obsession with fragrance. One of my childhood best friend's mother wore Beautiful by Estee Lauder every day of the year. I fell in love with perfume because of her and I remember saving all of my babysitting money to buy the smallest bottle of Beautiful available. An eleven year old, wearing such a grown up perfume! I loved it and I wore it proudly. Mrs Cummings will always be my first thought when I smell Beautiful and she is also my first and most cherished scent memory.
Fragrance Obsessed: A Rosegirls pie is one of the most coveted wax items around, but find out why Sunnee will take a Rosegirls loaf over a pie any day. You really want to see these loaves....

The Redolent Mermaid: Julie waxes poetic about a vendor who is taking risks blending with gardenia (with great payoff), has gorgeous scent shots, and fun restock themes. Who is this mystery vendor?
Beautiful!!! My mom wore that on her first wedding (to my dad). She always had it in her vanity. I love the idea of a preteen Sunnee spritzing Beautiful with finesse before school each day. <3
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful memory! It paints such a story that I can see it play out in my mind. I still need to smell this scent! The idea of having a signature scent is really fun to think about!. <3
ReplyDelete@Julie - I learned quickly that a little goes a long way. I was a tad heavy handed with Beautiful at first and if you know Beautiful, you probably know it has that mile away type strength. :)
ReplyDelete@Lauren - THank you! It's a classic, not too many that stay around this long <3
I wish I could just stick to a signature scent, I'm too much of a spaz though. :)
