Scents with a memory...




I love choosing perfumes whose main scent I associate with a great memory or experience. Plus, I tend to think that the closer perfume smells to the actual flower it is derived from the better. Blends sometimes reduce the scent of all of the fragrances within them. These perfumes offer some great natural scents. 

Lavender -  Lavender reminds me of summer in the Northeast. Fresh and dried lavender has the most wonderful scent - who wouldn't want a perfume with a lavender base??

Gardenia - Again it is a great natural scent and serves as the main scent in this Chanel perfume.

Magnolia - When magnolia trees are in full bloom in the spring, you can smell them yards away.

Plumeria - On my most recent trip to Hawaii, I smelled Plumeria, which is the flower used in leis. I immediately wanted a perfume based in its scent.

Jasmine - I have always loved the smell of jasmine and I particularly like its addition in my green tea, which gives my tea a great scent and additional flavor in the morning.

Cinnamon - Cinnamon is practically synonymous with Christmas and Thanksgiving. If it reminds you of the holidays, why not dust some on here and there?
