Fragrances do a lot of things for me and I always talk about "The Feeling". More so than the notes of a particular fragrance. This fragrance always settles me down with a nice floral note. The name bravery is certainly the theme for today as we deal with some extended family challenges. So I am channeling bravery today for our entire family as we start to enter this season of life. Wishing you all a wonderful day!!

(I saw this campaign on Instagram; I won’t yuck anyone’s yum and any person who devises new ways to enjoy fragrances has my attention. With that, this won’t work for me.

Decided to go with a sample of Creed Bois du Portugal. Such a beautiful, classic fougere style fragrance. Lavender and aromatics off the top with the oak moss style dry down. Have to get a full bottle at some point. Hope it stays forever.
