Coming Soon: A Fragrant Experience

KatieBT — Tue, 21 Aug 2018 21:58:41 GMT

@LexBT and I were able to experience a new Dior fragrance launching soon! One of their fragrance experts spritzed a scent strip for each of us. The verdict? We’re smitten! The scent is clean and beachy with a hint of citrus.

For the fragrance experience, we each tested the scent in a completely whitewashed room while wearing headphones playing some slower, bluesy rock. It’s crazy what happens when your sensory experience is so focused! I felt transported to a nighttime pool scene, taking in the moonlight and Alexa felt peaceful and serene as she pictured a calm, beachy scene. Further proof that everyone has their own fragrance experience!

Do you ever think about how fragrance can make you feel? If so, which emotions are you seeking out when you are selecting a fragrance to wear?

@KatieBTso cool! I want to feel peaceful, free and "at home". The best way to describe that for me is the smell of fresh air, campfire and forest. What I call cottage country. I know what I'm looking for in a fragrance I just haven't been able to find it yet.

Fragrance is such a personal thing! I love perfumes and I really enjoy having a variety of scents to compliment OR set my mood. Sometimes I want a fragrance to (as you both experienced) "transport" me and other times I want a scent to just make me feel a certain way--happy, comforted, excited, sexy, empowered, safe, etc.

@veronika23 I like your description of wanting a scent to make you feel "at home". That's a lovely way to think about it :).

@CookieGirl1I couldn't think of another way to describe it. 🙂

For some reason I link fragrance to weather, and not really emotions like happiness or sadness. Like one scent will remind me of rain, snow, hot, cold etc. I also tend to be reminded of people and experiences, which is good. Fragrance makes me nostalgic over little things, and that's what I like. It's really difficult to put into words what fragrance makes me feel.

@KatieBT I always think about how fragrances make me feel and where they transport me. I enjoy deeper, smoky scents because they make me feel confident and mysterious, like a seductress in an old black and white film.

When I want to feel easy and breezy, like a day at the beach, out come the citrusy perfumes!

When I'm heading to work I'm looking for a fragrance to make me feel confident and powerful and when I'm heading on a night out I look for a fragrance to make me feel girly

I have similar feelings to @suzyo. I choose fragrances that give me feelings of nostalgia. Fun memories, happy times. I want to be taken back to the experience.

@KatieBT @LexBT I love your V-neck T-shirts! They are adorable!

This scent sounds like something I would love ❤️ I love Beachwalk by Replica and fresh Citrus scents in my body care products like sweet citrus by Joise Maran. So this would be a good combination of them both ☺️ Excited for this one!

@KatieBT I love fragrances that make me feel calm (perfect for starting the workday or getting ready for bed), or those that make me feel uplifted (who couldn't use a little boost during the day?).

Does the Dior fragrance have notes of the flower arrangement you are posing in front of? I adore florals! It's hard for me to see the flowers as I can't get a zoom on the pic, but it looks like peonies, roses, hydrangeas and greenery...this would be an excellent scent. I love bouquets. They remind me of going to my fave spot in the city (the conservatory) and being in lush gardens and forgetting about my day.

I like to be surprized and challenged with a fragrance. Especially when one develops in a wonderful way I didn't expect or I discover new layers to it. I like my fragrances to have a lot of tension, a dynamic balance, to keep my interest. I do not want to be bored! The saddest for me is when the notes pyramid sounds so interesting and has strange notes and you have so much anticipation, but when you smell the perfume, it is doing nothing new at all.

I like a fragrance that makes me feel calm, cozy, and doesn't remind me of anything I don't like. That's a tall order!

You gals look amazing as always! I tend to always go for citrusy and floral scents year round and warmer vanilla scents in the winter. The citrus and floral scents always remind me of spring (floral) and summer (citrus) and just make me feel good- a feeling hard to escape with great scents. The warmer vanilla scents in the winter make me feel cozy and sophisticated.

Is this the new Joy fragrance @KatieBT? I’m intrigued by this one, I really adore beachy and citrus scents, so it sounds right up my alley ☺️

You’re both wearing the BIC t’s we’ve been lusting over 😍

When I’m choosing a fragrance, one of the main things I focus on is how it makes me feel. Since smells can trigger memories, there can be a lot of feelings that come with that.

I’m also conscious of the way I could make thoes around me feel with my scent. Ie. Date night I know I’m reaching for something with cedarwood, sandalwood, and a touch of jasmine, because together they embody such sensuality. I really like thoes types of fragrances. I generally like fragrances that bring feelings of warmth and coziness.

I love for example, as a warm winter scent and for a warm summer scent. They’re so different from one another, but both bring me feelings of comfort, warmth, and luxury.

My favorite beach scent is , I can’t help but picture myself on the warm sand, listening to the waves, and catching a nice summer glow, @KatieBT, @LexBT🦀! Looking forward to this new Dior-and besides the shirts everyone is pining after, a Sephora Sticker app for iMessage would be waaaaaay too much fun😉

I am wondering if the new fragrance is Dior Joy? I am excited to find out what it is!! ❤️

Fragrance serves many purposes for me; such as relaxation, comfort, and sentimental memories. Lately I have been reaching for scents that make me feel comforted, and those currently are Chanel Chance and Dior Poison Girl. I have been spritzing those in the evening before bed. I like to fall asleep enjoying the aromatherapy of my favorite perfumes.

I definitely pair my fragrance what my mood, or my desired mood. Often, I wear spicy and warm scents to work because they feel powerful and strong. Some days I look for something lighter and sunnier, especially on the weekend. Some favs are , , and
