I'm one of those people who hate eating oranges because I loathe how it smells on my hands. So why would I every purchase an orange scented perfume? Simply because it's done so elegantly with notes of blood orange, bitter orange, jasmine and sandalwood. I adore the freshness of the scent. Countless of my hard earned dollars have been spent on fruity body splashes that fail to deliver the clean (non-alcohol) scent of the fruit in a way that compliments my natural scent. This does. Over a year later and I haven't put a dent in the bottle. A little goes a long way. I thought I was set for life.
That is until last weekend, when I was hurrying through Neiman's and spotted Dorothy, my old friend at the fragrance counter. We chatted a little about her explorations in Europe and the many perfume houses she visited. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "I have a scent that is perfect for you" as she hurried to the other side of the counter. Dorothy reappeared with a bottle and reached for my wrist. After a few spritzes of Cedrat Envirant, I raised my wrist to my nose and breathed deeply. Heaven. My wrist gave off was the softest, sweetest lime scent. Absolutely. Perfect. For. Spring.
I needed this in my life. I needed it to splash on after a refreshing shower. I need to experience the crisp aroma of fresh lime, Chinese Mint, juniper berries and bergamot as I sit in my boring meetings at work. I needed a light, fresh scent that didn't make me feel like I was wearing perfume. This was exactly what I needed. Dorothy read the look on my face and whispered "treat yourself." The rest is pretty much history.
