When it comes to fragrances, perfume, eau de toilette, eau de parfum, scented body lotions and body sprays, it can be a fine line of what’s work appropriate and what’s nauseating. I once had a boss who hated the smell of perfume and I unknowingly wore it to work; when I came into her office, she asked me in a discerning tone, “Is that perfume?” I got the hint — no fragrance allowed!
Alas, I no longer work for her, so I’m easing myself back into wearing fragrances, but wearing them strategically so as not to turn any business associates off. Plus, all of these are pretty enough to wear out or for brunch with the girls. And if you’re ever in doubt (like a job interview or an important meeting) then skip it – it’s not worth potentially offending anyone.
Here are my recommendations for fragrances that are great for work and play:
Marc Jacobs EDT Splash in Cucumber
It’s light, fresh and unless someone is offended by the smell of a spa, it’s universally appealing.
Juara Tiare Jasmine Fragrance Oil
This oil is long-lasting but not strongly-scented. Jasmine and gardenia seem to appease everyone when it comes to florals.
This is what a walk in the French countryside should be – a light waft of Lily of the Valley.
Lisa Hoffman French Clary Sage
With linen and cotton components and notes of spice, herb and a little floral, this scent is soft, fresh and a bit earthy.
This beautiful line of fragrances is always soft and subtle, but come in romantic French flavors, like Satine – you’ll feel sexy all day long!
