Isn't scent amazing? It can pinpoint a memory just by one inhale, makes you feel emotions you may be unprepared for - good or bad - and can bring you places you can only dream of! Luckily, any reminiscing I have when certain fragrances enter the air is almost always brimming with positive memories. The more prevalent ones include watching my mom do her makeup before work every morning, unique Avon perfume bottles, and the absolutely decadent scent called 'Pleasures' by Estée Lauder were staples on her wardrobe. 

My mom's vanity was a place I absolutely loved to stand in front of as a kid while admiring all her makeup, skincare, and other tiny trinkets she kept her jewelry in. Once I found the recognizable bottle from Estée Lauder though, my interest was always piqued. I would sneak a couple spritzes and sprays, making sure to remember her tips on hitting the inside of my wrists and the sides of my neck. These were the "places to smell the best." I took this with me into adulthood, and it still applies today. 

'Pleasures' is an innately floral smell, so it makes sense that floral, citrusy, and muskier scents are some of my favorites every season.  I cannot thank my mom enough for introducing floral scents so early on in my life, since they are my go-to's also as an adult. Feminine, flirty, and sexy - applying these type of scents are my favorite part of my beauty routine, just like my mom! So little to no surprise here, spring is also my second favorite time of year, and since we're now in this new season, I wanted to share some of my favorite scents that I've had in my routine for years.
