Emoting Through the SCENTses

Over the years my relationship with perfumes has slowly taken on a sense of personal meaning and significance as what started as an extension of conformity has now transformed into an instrument of self-expression. Here's a look at my Good, Bad, and Fab timeline with scents.

The Good


When I was in high school, I equated wearing the popular "it" scents with being cool. After all, high school was all about conforming and trying extremely hard to not stand out, a theme that extended to how I scented. CK One, Davidoff Cool Water, Tommy Hilfiger Girl, Curve, GAP Dream, and Bath and Body Works body splashes made heavy rotations in my perfume drawer. I didn't have a signature scent as I was a walking advertisement for ULS ("Universally Loved Scents"). 

The Bad

My very first spritzing into perfumes was in middle school. One ordinary day, I woke up and decided I had become an adult. As an adult, my first order of business was to cover every inch of my body in my mom's Elizabeth Arden Red Door perfume. It was a school day and needless to say, my classmates did not appreciate the scent of my newly anointed maturity.  

The Fab

After high school, I stopped wearing perfume for a very long time. Distracted by work and school, I simply didn't have the time or energy to discover myself through scents. But recently, I revisited my love for perfumes and have successfully albeit carefully and thoughtfully, curated and collected a tray of signature scents.

Lollia "Relax" Eau De Parfum. The scent contains a rich exotic blend of fresh lavender, bee blossom honey with white orchids and warm woody undertones of Indian amber delicately completed with a touch of tahitian vanilla. Top notes fragrance: Fresh Lavender, Bee Blossom Honey and White Orchids

Chloe Eau de Toilette is feminine, bold and natural. The rose reveals new olfactory colours, with hints of mandarin orange zest in the head notes, enhanced by freesia and watermelon and a touch of sandalwood and fresh iris in its base. It unveils and renews itself with a light and luminous character. Top Notes: Mandarin, Watermelon. Heart Notes: Rose, Freesia. Base Notes: Iris, Sandalwood.

Tocca Bianca Eau de Parfum is intoxicatingly fresh, clean and sparkling. Top notes: Bergamot, Lavender, Mandarin and Lemon Orpur. Middle notes: Rose Petals, Jasmine and Green Tea. Bottom notes: Musk, Sugar.

Danica I am...Peace Eau De Parfum is a calming blend of soothing scents of white peony and tuberose with a hint of jasmine, finishing with sandalwood and heather.

Danica I am...Rich Eau De Parfum is the perfect blend of delicate white florals, peach, gardenia and jasmine.
