Summer is over, Fall has arrived. Sunsets are a little richer. The air is a little more crisp. I can’t help but to reflect on a simple pleasures that I will miss from this summer. What excited me about a new day? What made me look for the silver lining in the cloud? What gave me the extra spring in my step? This year I will miss one of my favorite fragrances. Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Incredible Daring. It’s a fresh, floral scent with the essence of energy. I rate fragrances based on the following scale. I give 3 stars if I love it, 2 stars if I like it, 1 star if it is ok, o stars if I hate it. See how my beloved summer fragrance measured up.
- Variety in Size – Does the fragrance offer large, small, medium, and purse sizes.
- Variety in Strength – Does the fragrence offer a a variety of strengths, such as refreshing mist, eua de toilette spray, eau de perfume spray, or genuine perfume oils, (sometimes sol in concentrated solids).

- Signature Fragrance Wardrobing – Does the perfume offer coordinating fragrance accessories in concentrated balms, powders, oils, waxes, candles, rooms sprays, lingerie satchels, and home/bath products that can bring harmony to your lifestyle?
- Depth of Fragrance – Fragrances often begin light and then deepen once they have had the opportunity to mingle with your personal body chemistry and pheromones. A fragrance that has blended with your chemistry will sometimes smell different than it did on the first spray. Or you may find that you can’t even smell the fragrance at all, while others complement the fragrance they smell on you. Has this ever happened to you?
