Which Type of Scent Makes Sense for You?

One of my favorite magazines to read is Real Simple. It always has such handy hints and tips for my home and life. This month it is chock full of good stuff. I learned how to make my hair look fancy with some simple up-dos, they have some AWESOME Thanksgiving recipes which I will be trying out this year and lots more. One of the fun things they did was a quiz to figure out what type of perfume you should wear. I think those type of quizzes are fun, but what I thought was fun about this was when I finished the quiz the results said my Fragrance category was "Fresh" and the perfume they listed was my all time favorite L'eau d'Issey. I love that scent and it is the only perfume I have worn in the past 13 years. (That sounds sad and limited, I might want to branch out and try new ones but, I really like Issey.) I discovered it as a missionary. I had a companion, Clarisse, who felt naked without putting perfume on before we left the apartment. She had a whole collection. I loved her to death (still do) and she took me to many a pafumerie where we gathered samples and what not. L'eau D'Issey has a fresh clean scent about it. I think now I know what to do with my Nordstrom gift cards! Replenish my supply! The quiz isn't online unfortunately and I'm too lazy or tired or something to type it up here. But next time you're in Nordstroms go by the perfume counter and sample L'eau d'Issey and think of me.

i LOVE real simple. I discovered it years ago and picked it up just because the cover was so beautiful. Now I'm addicted!

L'eau d'Issey is still one of my faves too! I hardly every wear perfume anymore though. So sad. Nick has a bottle of the men's that I bought him - it's delish too!
