hermes un jardin sur le toit

i absolutely agree that fragrance is a big thing, but can i be honest when i say that it still confuses me? i still don't know how to judge what "works with my chemistry".

so i enlist my mother's help.  this consists of me spraying on a scent, and then shoving my wrist under her nose constantly as we walk aimlessly around sephora waiting for the scent to "drydown".  poor mom, i must have been so annoying.

but what do you know, this works! because this is how i came to find my new beloved day scent:

hermes un jardin sur le toit can best be described as "clean and fresh", and i love it.  a little bit of green, a little bit of fruit, and just a whiff of sweet.

the only thing i don't love? that it doesn't come with a rollerball version.  carrying around the pretty green tinged bottle with me everywhere isn't the most convenient, but i don't want to be without it should i have to go from office to dinner.

i had seen travalo refillable perfume atomizers at CVS before, so i went back and picked up one on sale ($4.99).  all you have to do is hold the bottom of the atomizer over  the bottle with the spray cap off.  press down and the "genie s" system loads the perfume into the atomizer without any mess or spills.   it's so easy to use, and now i can take my hermes with me everywhere i go.  life is beautiful.
