Smell Sexy

Despite my terrible allergies and tendency to sneeze over the tiniest bit of pot pourri in a guest bathroom, there's one thing that, in mine opinion, is even worse then using a few extra tissues; smelling like a fart, body odor, or anything else unpleasent. I'm not telling you to skip the shower and, instead, spray your entire body with eau de toilette (which has several slang terms that I will not mention here for the fact that they're offensive), but I've always seen the importance of every woman smelling sexy. That doesn't mean wearing something strong like Chanel No. 5 into the office and having every single person gossip about who you're trying to seduce with your mature stench, but rather, wearing something appropriate for the mood that you're trying to convey for whatever you're doing, and with that, executing everything you do with the greatest level of confidence. And despite my constantly runny nose pre-septoplasty, I've sucked it up and continued wearing and experimenting with different fragerences, realizing that some of the best are also some of the least expensive (funny, this never happens to me with ANYTHING else...figures). Have a date? An important interview? Lunch with your Nana? Below are my perfect fragerence suggestions for every scenario life may have in store for you:

• For a Chapter Meeting with your sorority sisters: Daisy by Marc Jacobs. In tight quarters, it's not too strong and won't lead to people not wanting to sit next to you, and kind of reminds me of baby powder mixed with my grandmother's garden (is that weird?). And for all those pretentious girls who want to know why you smell so good-oh my gawd-you're wearng Marc Jacobs.
• For hanging out with the guy who's JUST your friend, but unfortunately, he may see you as more: L by L.A.M.B. It's citrus mixed with a little bit of cedar and grapefruit, and comes in a cute little square bottle decorated in traditional Rasta colors. It's traditional without being too girly-girl and ill do the trick in making sure that you smell good but will also be sure to let him know that he's just a friend...Sorry, man...
• For a night of fist pumping at the Jersey Shore (Or Mineral Spring Ave.):  Envy by Gucci. It's loud, sexy, and will be easily recognizable by your fello guidos and guidettes pressent. If you're from New Jersey, New York, or Rhode Island, it's guarenteed that you grew up with at least five girlfriends who wore Envy (Come on, am I wrong?).
• For a super-important job interview: The One by Dolce & Gabanna. Though it smells slightly mom-ish, it's fragrent forward, direct, and means business with notes of aragon, citrus, and wood. You'll go in feeling polished, confident, and mature (even if you're wearing a Hello Kitty thong underneath your Tahari suit).
• For a lunch with an older relative: Chantilly by CVS (?). This drugstore perfume is super cheap and will keep old people comfortable since it tends to be a farmiliar scent among their demographic. And frankly, don't judge, but it's quite floral and I actually think it smells really nice.
• For a trip down memory lane to middle school: Tommygirl by Tommy Hilfiger. Because you just weren't cool if you didn't get it in your Christmas stocking. And even though it wasn't so trendy anymore past eighth grade, it actually still smells really good looking back at it.
• For your Royal Carribean Cruise: G by Harajuku Lovers. Seriously, this stuff smells like a pina colada in the best of ways, and even if I'm not on a cruise, always give myself a squirt if I'm depressed about the cold winter weather. It takes me back to the Riu Negril in Jamaica every time I get a whiff. Plus, the bottle is an adorable Gwen Stefani action figure.
• For the times you just want to smell amazing: Fantasy by Britney Spears!! I bet you didn't see this one coming. It's sweet, floral, all around feminine, and quite inexpensive. And, it's probably my favorite fragerence of all time, making me smile everytime I wear it. I couldn't express to you how much I love this stuff.

From the drugstore brands to the designer trends, I endorse and have worn all of these fragerences at one point or another and endorse each of them for all of your day-to-day needs. Because you wouldn't wear the same underwear for Valentine's Day with your boyfriend to your annual physical, so why would you wear the same perfume?
