SMELLING GOOD IS A FULL TIME JOB

I love to smell good. I like getting compliments that sound something like, "Wow, you smell great", or "You must tell me what you are wearing...I'm in love." Once, when I worked at Novell, I was riding up in the elevator with a typical engineer {Nate, of course, is a-typically handsome} and he said, "You smell fabulous. What is it so I can buy it for my wife?" I nearly skipped off the elevator after that compliment. Another of my favorite compliments came this last spring. Emily and Jonathan were visiting Utah and we went to lunch. When I got in the car Jonathan said sweetly, "Tonia, you smell like a spring day."
Much like dessert, perfume needs to be carefully weighed. If it's too rich and heavy you'll notice people back away. If it's too faint then why are you wearing it? The perfect kind of scent is the kind that gives everyone else the impression that you were born with the most sweet smelling skin, naturally.
I haven't tried Monyette Paris {roll on oil} before but the description, " An intoxicating blend of Tahitian gardenia, French muguet, and other exotic notes with long-lasting essential oils" sounds like a winner. Get it at Beauty.com for $45 and keep it in your purse 24/7.













If you are likely to wear something with more citrus/floral notes try Coquette Tropique {also a roll-on}. Either way, when your lover rolls over and hugs your pillow he'll smell the same scent that is always on your skin and he'll settle in for an extra 10 minutes of sweet dreams.

while studying at the university of montana i was chased down by a guy to find out what i was wearing so he could get it for his girlfriend. i was nervous at first and then so flattered. compliments are always welcomed especially by strangers.
