She helps me go through everything I?m sent, so I don?t miss any hidden gems that cross my path.

As she was reviewing the solid perfume trio inside, she stopped in her tracks, exclaiming, ?Who, these are SO good.? I smelled the perfumes myself and couldn?t help but agree. That got me thinking. Wouldn?t it be great to carry around your favorite sexy summer scent wherever you go — something chic and portable to apply whenever you?re craving a midday refresher" (You know, when the scent of the subway is just too gross to handle.)
