What's the scent of the day?

What's the scent of the day?

Lavender Sandalwood with real lavender essential oils....

My last job was a sales job working for a company that sold the most amazing body care products and home aroma items.

I loved and hated it at the same time.

I loved all the free product we got for each floor set we did, I have enough gratis items last me the rest of my life, but I hated the sales part that required me demo products on actual people.

Good God....

"Have you tried out our new scrub at the sink? It smells amazing and leaves your hands<b> silky </font></b>smooth."

Yah, believe it or not, this is something I actually said people... And people ate it right up. They would follow me the sink while I told them about the new fragrances we had JUST released in home fragrance. While they were scooping out the sugary goo into their hand I was retrieving candles for them to smell.

Before you knew it, they were a sugar scrub, a lotion, a body spray, and a candle into a sale. I was actually the employee who had the best sales at our store, I think partly because I was friendly and I didn't pressure anyone.

It's been nearly three years since I left that job and I still have products I've never used... The Lavender Sandalwood was one of them.

I hadn't been crazy about that line... It was during a time when we were getting back to basics and trying a more natural approach to body care.

It didn't well....

But I was looking for something different today when I took my shower and that was it!

I have to say, I'm actually kind of loving it. Not sure if it is the essential oil... Or the sandalwood?? But, when I went to the gym today, it was the most amazing smell. As soon as I started to get a little warm it was like it triggered a release of scent.

The smell was everywhere.

All I can say is, I've found a new favorite for the moment.

    The same thing happens to me when I try on a new cologne or soap. And then...after a while, I stop smelling it. Enjoy the new smells.
You become nose blind... I really notice this at home. When I stop smelling my wallflowers, I know it's time to switch out the scent. I like to come home to nice smells and a clean apartment.

    The scent I've found is dabbing warm chocolate chips cookies behind my ears. Guys love it!

    Actually, I like the scent of lavender mixed with vanilla.
Truth be told... I've never been a lavender fan. When I was selling this stuff, I did some research on the essential oils that were in the different scents to help my sales pitch and I did discover that lavender is a natural insect repellent. It's also an odor eliminator for your home.

I'll have to try the chocolate chip cookies next!

    My favorite fragrance is just the smell of clean and normal, the smells from a kitchen that is being used right, A lot of fragrances some women use are not to my liking. Once in a while I see a lady that is wearing $1 worth of a $2 bottom of PARFUM !!! One you can tell which way she walked in the store, know she is coming up wind... You've seen her, everyone has,,!! Have a good evening..be safe
Yep, I've seen her. I'm not a perfume wearer, I only do lotions and shower gels, which is why I was so surprised to be able to smell it in the air when I was working out. The essential oils must get activated in some way when you get hot and sweaty.

These products didn't sell well... I had thought the same thing when I first got them. The lavender smell is light enough that you don't really become over powered by it.

    I'm not usually a fan of lavender by itself, but maybe paired with sandalwood it would be nice. Might have to try that. I make soap, scrubs and candles so I could play with the mix to make it right for me.
It's a really light scent, at least until your body heat gets turned up. I could barely smell it until I got to the gym. I think you would like it.

    Just a head up, when a man walks by a woman and senses a strong aroma we wonder if she's trying to cover something up.
At the gym? It would be BO.... LOL
