    More earthy, woody scents for everyday; more feminine and fresh for special occasions.
    What’s your earliest memory of perfume?
    The women in my family aren’t heavy perfume wearers, so I don’t have many early memories. But, my earliest and strongest scent memories are of Old Spice, my dad’s aftershave, and honeysuckle, which my sister and I would pick with our grandmother.
    What perfume did you wear at age 13?
    It was either Clinique Happy or all of the Bath & Body Works scents, together, at once.     You didn’t want to cross me in the hallway.

    Rose, powder and garlic (not together).

    What did your home growing up smell like?
    Herbs, grass, woody/smoky aromas… my mom is an acupuncturist and when I think of our home growing up, I think of scents associated with her practice like sage and fire.
