Jen K - Afragrantoffering

I took a 10 day trip in Washington State asked out of Seattle. The distance traveled was 1700 miles. We traveled in late May, so there was still a lot of snow on the high trails. We enjoyed smaller crowds in the areas we visited and our trip ended Memorial Day Saturday. We did some hiking, visited National Parks and enjoyed the San Juan Islands. This was my first time to visit the state. Overall, it was a great snapshot of Northwestern Washington and so many places I’d love to spend more time.

While preparing a video for YouTube, I pulled fragrances from my collection that feel fruity to me. Not all are 💯 fruit, from are floral and musky as well. I sprayed them on tester strips and ranked my favorites. This video will be up on my YouTube channel later this week. In the past I’ve been quick to declutter fruity fragrances from brands like Juicy Couture, Escada etc. It’s a category I struggle with but doing this exercise helped me clarify more of what I personally enjoy, and what I don’t.

Fragrances I’ve tried that I would love to own full size bottles of. I already have more than I need and want to spend more time with the ones I have. But these are for maybe, someday…
