A wardrobe of fragrance

RAGRANCE IS as much a part of a
woman’s wardrobe as a favorite pair of
Levi’s or classic navy blazer.

Spritzing on a light, fresh scent can be like slipping into
those weii-worn jeans, A dab of expensive perfume can add
an air of luxury to basic black.

Like fashion, fragrance has its faux. pas. Just as you
wouldn't. wear jeans to: the opera, you shouldn't’ wear a
heady scent either. Wear a lighter fragrance if you are ata
show or event and are in close quarters,

By Layne Christensen

Note, too, that heat intensifies fragrance. Wear a full-bod-
ied fragrance in the winter and switch to a lighter concentra-
tion or different, lighter scent in the summer.

match your mood,
