It is me and it protected me
I picked this scent when was 13. Kids were bullying me because I was frumpy and short, and they made fun of my baby face and everything. This fragrance acted as my Superman disguise; it was like my shining armour. I disguised myself as a man because it was a manly man's scent and it never failed me.
So from 13 to 61, I wore that because it’s been a part of my success. It is me and it protected me. Speaking from experience, wearing a fragrance can be uplifting. It can be a way to be someone other than who you are. I think beauty – makeup and skincare – is a way to boost your self-esteem.
