The Gift of Scent

An introduction and a beauty products card, just for you.

We often bring our fondest and most treasured memories with us wherever we go. Like a letter that is carefully folded into an envelope, and then sealed inside—they too are patiently awaiting for our next visit. Even so, as we walk along the bustling streets, we come across freshly baked bread, that reminds of us Grandma's baking at Christmas... we come across lush flower stands, with a jovial seller, who instantly reminds us of that summer spent in Paris, and perhaps, as we travel through the market, we pick up a mere hint of perfume... a perfume that seems so familiar... and so, a sweet wonderment that breaks the sense of time takes off, and brings us back on a vivid journey yet again, to that fond memory, just for a moment... or two...

As Spring is approaching, I always look forward to wearing my most favorite scent, daily—Wish, from Lollia. (I believe that you can never know when you might need a dash) Indeed, that tiny bottle of perfume was my travel companion from Vancouver to London, from London to Paris, and from Paris to the south of France. It stayed beside me, tucked into my purse the entire time. But of all memories, whenever I smell Wish, I recall the excitement and pure joy of waking up in the chateau each morning. When the sun began to pour in through the openings, and the vast shutters were thrown open. My day always began this way, followed by a bath, and just a dash of Wish, and I was on my way... set out for a whole new adventure...

"Lollia feels sweetly familiar and delightfully luxurious. Unconscious allure. Unstudied sophistication. Quiet moments and close friends. This is Lollia." Do you have a favorite (or favorites) scent that brings back fond memories, as well? I would love to hear!
