Smelling Sweet

Like many others, I am obsessed with scents! Whenever someone doesn't know what to purchase for me as a gift, one of the default suggestions I give is for a new perfume/body spray/etc. I know I probably sound insane, but I most certainly change up the scent that I wear depending on the time of day, the outfit I'm wearing, or the mood I'm in! I have gathered quite the collection over the years...including:


Victoria's Secret PINK: This was one of the first perfumes I ever bought back in high school. Awwww. I love how fun and playful it is. It has been one of my go-to's for a sunny and happy day.

Lacoste Inspiration: This particular scent reminds me of baby powder. It is extremely light. I tend to wear this on the weekends when I am running around doing errands.

Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker: Definitely one of my all time favorites! It is so feminine and floral. When I bought it, this scent quickly became my go-to perfume, and I ended up wearing it almost every day until I only have a few drops left in the bottle! It is currently on my "refill list" of perfumes I hope to be gifted if someone asks for a suggestion....haha!

Valentino Rock n' Rose Couture: Ohhhh this one is just so incredibly sexy! It is my "night time" scent for an evening out. And...the bottle is just gorgeous, no?

L.A.M.B.: Gwen Stefani's fragrance was my replacement for Lovely when I started running low...it is a fantastic "everyday" scent...it isn't quite as floral as Lovely, but I absolutely can't get enough of it!

Ok, so clearly I have an arsenal of fragrances (and this isn't the complete list, sadly...), but which one do you end up wearing on a wedding day???? What a conundrum! I was talking to Justin about it a month or so ago, and mentioned that it would be really awesome to select a new scent to wear on the day of the wedding...and it would be really special if he picked it out as well (or at least helped me)!


Well, as it usually is with Justin...ask and you shall receive! No...seriously...I really do have to be careful what I ask for in front of him, because HE LISTENS (***GASP!!!!***). I was oogling a bikini around my birthday last year...BAM! It arrived at my doorstep in a box. The pearl earrings I wanted? PRESTO - Valentine's gift last year! The DSLR that I was coveting for Christmas? WHAM! My jaw dropped when I tore open the box on Christmas Day.


Valentine's Day this year....

I die. Justin for the win! I tell him he has to stop spoiling me, but at the same time I can't help but glow because of all that he does for me. He listened when I was making comments one day about perfumes I was interested in, and then took a trip to the mall after work, smelled a few of my top picks, and selected Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. And...it is a perfect bridal scent in my opinion! It is feminine, floral, and the bottle is gorgeous! I absolutely adore it, and knowing that he picked it out for me makes it that much more special! I currently have it hidden away in a drawer so I am not tempted to use it before the wedding...it smells so...darn...pretty!




Do you have your wedding day fragrance selected? Are you using one that you already have, or buying a new one to celebrate the occasion?

  1. :) I'll be wearing "Falling in Love" by Philosophy. I love how soft and romantic it smells without being too overwhelming. I wear it on a daily basis already.

  2. I don't wear perfume a lot. I have 3 that I wear sometimes: Sarah Jessica Paker's Lovely, Vera Wang's Princess, and a Victoria Secret Pink sent. I think I am going to wear Lovely it just seems perfect for a wedding ceremony.

  6. Clinique Happy Heart is my go to every day scent. It is so light and feminine. I think it would be a great contender for the wedding day though, since the boyfriend picked it out and he loves it!
