can be a really nice thing to hear on days when you need a boost.

Its the sensory cocktail of favorite smells youre into right now.

Think outside the box.

Youre loving the smell of your coconut-scented shampoo or vanilla body wash?

Blind buys where youre going purely on a description or a photo of a gorgeous bottle are tough.

How many of us know what fig, amber or cashmere smell like anyway?

Henry Rose Torn Eau de Parfum; Jo Malone London Earl Grey and Cucumber Cologne; Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady Eau de Parfum

And realistically that bottle is nice on a vanity but scent is invisible once youve got it on.

Feeling edgy in your black leather pants and boots this season?

Maybe a mysterious hint of incense or coffee can spice up the florals you enjoy.

Lancôme Idôle Nectar Eau de Parfum; Jimmy Choo I Want Choo Eau de Parfum; Valentino Voce Viva Eau de Parfum; Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum

Prefer a clean outdoorsy scent?

A hint of sea salt or lemon is what you need now.

Love rose scents but want something new?

Dior J’Adore Parfum D’eau; Diptyque Tam Dao Eau de Toilette; Ellis Brooklyn Sun Fruit Eau de Parfum

Try one with a pop of caramel or vanilla.

Individual body chemistry plays a big part here.

Thats because hot weather and body heat amplify scent.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid Eau de Parfum; Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Women’s Spray Perfume; Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Intense; Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum

For a refresh, try dabbing on a clear lip balm or travel size cream first if possible.

Do not rub your wrists together!

This alters the scent.

Nest New York Seville Orange Perfume Oil; Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Toit Eau de Toilett; Aerin Cedar Violet Eau de Parfum

Carry a travel-size atomizer or rollerball for a quick reset.

Almost no one does this anymore.

Its an expensive habit and truthfully many women prefer having more than one fragrance in rotation.

Yves Saint Laurent Libre Le Parfum; Vitabath Lavender Chamomile Body Cream; Yardley of London Moisturizing Bath Bar English Lavender
