Happy Tuesday and happy spring, everyone! It’s a frosty 36°
here in middle Tennessee this morning, making me shiver and be glad none of my
flowers have started blooming yet. I may not be gardening today, but I can
still talk about flowers of the floral fragrance kind! Since yesterday was
National Fragrance Day and I’m an Avon lady, I thought it would be helpful to
share a quick tutorial on how to pick the best floral fragrance for you this
spring.

Finding a new fragrance for you or to give to someone can be
challenging! You walk into the fragrance department at your favorite shopping
spot and your senses are assaulted. Overpowering scents fill your nose, shiny
bottles in an array of colors and sizes twinkle on glass shelves and the ever-present
associate is there to spritz you with the latest scent from the current pop
star fave of the moment. Hopefully my tutorial will have you shopping for
fragrances with confidence, whether you shop at the mall or with me and Avon!
Understanding the 6
types of floral fragrances:
1. Romantic Florals are soft, delicate and feminine. These
romantic florals are characterized by lush bouquets that have sweet and powdery
notes with hints of musk or warm amber. Sound like you? Try Forever, which has
hints of pink pepper, orange blossom and sensual musk.

fruits. These scents add an everyday sweetness to your fragrance wardrobe.
Sound like you? Try Luck, a fragrance with sparkling citrus and luscious
berries wrapped in creamy white florals, rose petals and sandalwood. (Luck was also a CEW Insiders Choice Beauty
Awards Finalist!)

6. Flower Gourmand is a sweet treat. The dessert of scents,
floral gourmands have delectable notes like rich crème brûlée. Sound like you?
