what are you wearing...

...it smells delish

Just because you sit in front of books and a computer all day does not mean you can’t experiment with flirty and girly scents. The sense of smell is the strongest human sense and can have huge impacts on the brain. Here is a roundup of my FAVORITE perfumes:

1. Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels Heavenly

My friend bought this for me five years ago and I have been wearing it periodically since! It is sexy but soft and reminds me of a perfect winter morning at Starbucks sipping a pumpkin spice latte while listening to Michael Buble’s holiday album. I feel warm, cozy, and loved when I wear this.

2. Britney Spears Fantasy

I swear, every girl has a bottle on her perfume tray. Not only is the bottle adorable and a nice piece of decor for the room, but the perfume is also equally amazing. It is sweet and sugary but not so overbearing that it gives me a headache (and I am susceptible to fumes). It reminds me of a first date, feeling red in the cheeks and absolutely giddy as you walk into your house and obsess over every detail of the most perfect night out. I am living out my crush in my fantasy.

3. Paris Hilton Can Can

 I was pleasantly surprised by how good this one was! Putting aside my feelings for the celebrity behind this, Can Can is just like Fantasy and nothing like Fantasy. It is sweet and warm with musky and floral accents. It is more mature than Fantasy, like your signature scent when you are entering the serious phases of a relationship. He must get close to you.

4. Taylor Swift Wonderstruck

I am a huge fan of Taylor Swift’s smashing hit “Enchanted” and can sing you the lyrics in my sleep. She is THE songwriter of this generation’s youth. Even though I am older than her target audience (teens and young adults), I can still relate to her lyrics as they remind me of my high school days:

This night is flawless,
don’t you let it go.
I’m wonderstruck,
dancing around all alone.
I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you.

Please don’t be in love with someone else, please don’t have somebody waiting on you...

Been there, felt that.

Her new perfume Wonderstruck embodies all the emotions in her song. It is vanilla embellished with some sweet raspberries. You are alone after meeting your potential future boyfriend. You can’t relax. You fall asleep smiling.

5. Burberry Brit

Such a classic. It is similar to BS Fantasy but less sweet. Some have suggested Fantasy was inspired by this. It reminds me of tall, lanky models with high cheekbones wearing Chanel and Gucci. I feel sophisticated and like “a lady” when I wear this.

If you have any perfumes that you love, please share below in the comments. I’m always looking to test out new scents!
