Signature Scent


I feel like I've spent my entire adult life on a hunt for the perfect perfume. I couldn't pass up a perfume counter without trying a new perfume, and I'd always find myself disappointed. Either the scent was too sweet, or too spicy. Too overpowering, or too weak. Too youthful, or too old. Nothing was quite right. If a sales associate would try to help, they would always ask the same question. The question that I couldn't quite answer. "What type of scent do you like?". I could never put my finger on it. Did I like fruity scents? Did I like floral scents? Did I like musky scents? So I'd always walk away empty handed, or I'd buy a perfume and end up returning it after I realized that I really didn't like it after all. Then, one day, as I wondered around the mall, I came upon the Jo Malone counter. This wasn't my first time to the Jo Malone counter, but it was the first time that I tried Orange Blossom. Immediately, my senses were awakened and I knew that this was the perfume for me. The scent was absolute perfection. A touch of sweetness mixed with just the right amount of floral. Everything about it was just right. It's funny how something so simple as a perfume can make a girl feel so good inside. The sales associate asked me if I grew up in Orange County. Proudly, I answered, "Yes. Born and raised". Then she explained to me that this scent was created by Jo Malone to smell like Orange County years ago. The wafting scent of orange blossoms coming from all the citrus tree orchards. It all made sense to me. This perfume was bringing back memories of my childhood. I can't tell you how excited I get to spray a touch of this on myself in the morning. It brings a smile to my face everyday. I know it may sound silly, but it's a little thing that makes me so very happy.
Do you have a signature scent? I'd love to hear about it.
