My Signature Scent Profile: I gravitate toward perfumes that open with bright, fruity notes like apple and mandarin orange—fresh, energizing, and uplifting. At their heart, I love elegant florals such as honeysuckle, jasmine, peony, and lily, which bring a soft femininity without feeling overpowering. What grounds it all are warm, skin-like base notes—musk, sandalwood, and amber—that add subtle depth and intimacy. I tend to avoid overly sweet or dessert-like scents. Instead, I prefer something that feels clean, airy, and effortlessly refined with a cozy finish. That being said, my latest obsession has been some of the distinct scents from the Commodity line, listed at the top of my list.
