I always stand a little taller when I pick up a perfume.
When I gently shake the bottle, the liquid reflects the light and sparkles like morning dew dancing on the petals. At that moment, I feel like I'm in a quiet garden. There, roses, jasmine, lily of the valley, and many other flowers are blooming, and a pleasant breeze is gently caressing my cheeks.
I think there's something magical about floral perfumes.
It is the power that changes me for the day just by wearing the fragrance. When I lightly spray it on my neck before rushing out the house in the morning, my unstable feelings calm down and I feel more confident. It is as if the flowers are whispering to me, "You are beautiful today too."
On work days, choose light scents like lavender or lily of the valley.
If the scent is too strong, it can make people around me feel uncomfortable, so I prefer something that spreads gently and gently. It gives me a sense of quiet calm, and I can feel tranquility even during busy times.
Special nights, on the other hand, are a little different.
When I wear the rich scent of rose or jasmine, I become a little different from my usual self. It's strange how the scent brings out a sense of glamour and a little boldness. At the dinner table, the person next to me suddenly smiles and says, "You smell good." I feel a little embarrassed by the comment, but I secretly rejoice in the special moment that the perfume has connected us.
Perfume is not just a fashion item.
For me, it's a little magic tool that helps me paint the story of each day.
As I walk softly through the mist floating in the air, I become the protagonist of that story. Surrounded by the scent of flowers, the scent always tells me what kind of day I will have.
What floral scent will you choose to brighten up your day?
