These Are The Skin Scents That Will Have The Compliments Rolling In
Perfume is inherently personal. The one you choose can be an extension of your personality or simply embody your mood of the day. For example, if you’re in the mindset to make a statement, you may spritz on a heady floral fragrance that leaves a tantalizing trail behind when you walk down the street. Or if you feel like taking a trip down memory lane, a sugar spun fruity fragrance of yesteryear may be the vibe of the moment.
