Florals: Channel Your Inner Rom-Com Heroine 

Florals are like the soundtrack to your personal love story. Notes like rose, jasmine, and magnolia are romantic, soothing, and perfect for when you want to feel feminine and confident.

Try: The Rebel – This scent is packed with leather, cedarwood, and tobacco notes for those moments when you need to center yourself or channel your wild side.

Vanilla: Cozy Comfort in a Bottle

Try: The Dream Husband – With its warm vanilla and tonka bean blend, it’s like wrapping yourself in a soft, cozy sweater.

Fresh & Aquatic: A Breath of Fresh Air 🌊

For those days when you just need a reset, fresh and aquatic scents—think cucumber, linen, or sea breeze—can help you feel revitalized and refreshed. These scents bring to mind clean, crisp sheets or a day by the ocean, making them perfect for when you need a mental break or a fresh start.

Try: The Boy Next Door – Linen accords, lavender, and white musk combine for a scent that’s as fresh as an oversized hoodie straight from the dryer.
