Scent has always been the sense I’m most drawn to. It’s usually the first thing I notice about someone, and it often shapes my first impression.

I love discovering perfumes that linger in your mind long after the person has left the room.
That’s why I curated this list with the passion I feel for fragrances and would love if more people discover all my favorite scents.
