A little extra confidence
"There are different occasions when you want to add a little extra confidence," explains fragrance historian Jessica Murphy. "A job interview is not the same as a performance, which is not the same as a second or third date — there are different types of confidence." As such, by leaning into the feel-good properties of fragrance, you can curate a perfect-for-you collection that's ready and waiting anytime you're seeking an added cloak of self-assurance.
