Life - Full Speed Ahead


Staycation is officially over. 

Entering the hospital this morning, after lounging about for Nine Whole Days, was like accidentally hitting the fast forward on the remote control after pausing my favorite program to go take a pee.

There is no easing back into my work. 

Agent Provocateur is the Scent of the Day, but I found myself wishing I had worn something a bit snappier, like DKNY or Chinatown. 

Wednesday is a very important day - a critical day in the life of my career.  My perfume must be perfect; inviting but not seductive, confident but not overbearing, female but not necessarily feminine.

What would you recommend?

  1. Oh, how often have I struggled over this issue. I have a post about job interview fragrance where I (and others) worry through the problem. The problem is, I still don't know what that perfect perfume is.....at least for that situation.

  3. I wear Cristalle on decisive days at work - it is refreshing in the heat and has the right amount of steely chutzpah for tricky situations. If you find that too steely, ease back with something like Kenzo Eau de Fleur de Magnolia, L'Eau Ambree, JM Vanilla & Anise or Infusion d'Iris maybe? (If you have those, obviously!)

  4. A bit late I guess, and perhaps not totally appropriate for work, but I always find Ambre Sultan a good choice, as long as its not overapplied.

  9. Michael, I actually considered AS, as it can be totally appropriate anywhere if applied with a light hand.
