Sweet Smell of Portability

Who are you wearing? I don't get this question very much, but when I do, it's usually about the perfume I have on. I've been through the gamut of the junior/high school classics... Fuzzy Peach by the Body Shop, CK One by Calvin Klein. Oh yes. Other favorites have included Still by Jennifer Lopez, Hanae Mori, and Isse Miyake, but for the past several years, I've been hooked on what might be a keeper for years to come still... Stella McCartney.
I tend to be drawn to scents that are clean and slightly flowery with subtle citrus notes. I get very turned off by powdery or overly flowery scents that I think are "sharp" to my nose. I also tend to feel like those super-fruity smells give the impression of a youth I've long surpassed. And don't even get me started on vanilla... I love eating it, but the artificial scent of vanilla used in lotions and perfumes makes me want to punch a baby (a la Dane Cook). BUT, the product I really wanted to share with you is this.
This 0.33 oz. roll-on version of the very perfume I love is only available at Sephora and runs $17. I keep this tiny vial in my purse at all times for freshening up after a long day at my desk, before a date with my hot hunk of man, or after soaking up unpleasant or unwanted smells at a restaurant. I'm the type that will spritz once in the morning and leave it at that, so having this little buddy around is truly convenient. Even if you don't want to start using Stella McCartney, you can certainly find a scent for you in Sephora selection of roll-on and solid perfumes that are super portable and insanely handy.
