“I love clean scents and nothing too floral or feminine. For the longest time I have used Original Eau de Cologne, which is unisex and hasn’t changed since 1800. I am also a big fan of citrus notes and love Hermès Eau d’Orange Vert, which despite being made for men is still very light and fresh.”

“Amber oil from Whole Foods Market. It comes in this tiny potent bottle and has a deep, but soft scent. It lasts forever and gets more compliments than any of my luxe fragrances.”
