Scents Of the Past

Women’s Health Magazine is looking for your input for an upcoming feature. “Which Perfumes Trigger Your Memory?” In particular, they are looking for your firsts and your favorites. What was your first  fragrance? What was your favorite as a teen? What scent do you remember from your high school beau?

Here’s what I remember from my Scent-ual past:

First fragrance: Love’s Baby Soft and you know what, I still like it. Sarah uses the body spray.

Favorite in high school: Still the Loves, but I added some others to it – a lemon-scented Love’s fragrance and we used to do this layering with Gloria Vanderbilt and Anais Anais. It sounds odd, but I did it, my sister did it, and her best friend did it, too and we thought we smelled great.

High School boyfriend: I don’t remember a particular cologne from one of them, but there was a combination soap/deodorant/cigarettes/leather/sweat thing that I remember still looking for into my 20s. I still like the same scent, but without the cigarettes.

If you want to get in on this, at the very least it’s fun to take a stroll down memory lane, then check out the Beauty and Style Blog at Women’s Health.
