Fragrance and Your Mood

Everyone who knows me knows that I love everything girlie. Flowers or perfume are definitely the way to this girls heart. The moment I encounter an uplifting scent, it can instantly boost my mood and I feel serene and happy. Sniffing perfumes that have fresh, familiar scents—powdery notes à la baby, or springtime florals such as hyacinth, jasmine and lily of the valley—could have you thinking the glass is half full. Or seek out amber or vanilla, which can go hand in hand with that recent happy occasion at which you devoured cupcakes and maybe a root-beer float, or maybe received that bouquet of lilacs, or roses. For myself, there is nothing like getting out of the shower or bath in the morning and using my favorite lilac perfume La Perouse by Gilly Hick’s or Jo Molane’s Blue Agava and Cocao perfume, to instantly make me feel feminine and happy. Remember, not everyone has the same ideal scent that works for their bodies chemistry. Try out different scents such as citrus, vanilla, or floral’s to find one that transforms your individual mood. XOXO, Tara
