My favorite scents; I have so many:

  • the ocean breeze
  • homemade buttercream icing on a freshly frosted white cake...yumm!  (it's the butter and vanilla...heaven!)
  • Cinnamon rolls
  • fresh ripe apples
  • baby magic
  • fresh cut grass
  • watermelon
  • eucalyptus
  • wood
  • spring rain
  • freshly sliced lemons and limes
  • my husband when I've really missed him
  • both of my little girls' hair
  • popcorn
  • cherry almond cookies
  • fresh brewed coffee
  • my grandmother's cornbread
  • a good bag of russett potatoes (I love that damp, earthy smell, weird, I know!)

My favorite scent to wear is Lancome's Aroma Tonic.  It's a fruity/herbal scent (my favorite) that is very light, think more like body spray than a heavy perfume.  It is essences of sweet lime, green mate and osmanthus.  I get tons of compliments when I wear it and my kids think it smells edible!  Olivia said that it smelled yummy like something good to eat!

I am also a big fan of Bath and Body Works.  I just cannot wear heavy perfume (allergy and sinus problems) and lighter body sprays are pretty much what I have to stick with.  My favorites by BBW is the one from the Aromatherapy line, for stress, Eucalyptus and Spearmint.  It works and it's a "me" smell.  The lavender is very good for rest!  I used it alot during my second pregnancy.  From the classic line, my favorites are Green Clover and Aloe, Pear Berry and Rice Flour and Shea. 

In candles and room scents, I still linger toward the fruity/herbal stuff.  I love pine and fir tree and cinnamon and spice for Christmas.
