Scents are typically associated with memories. Like the happiness one could experience when smelling chocolate chip cookies and thinking of their Gran’s house, or the rush of excitement one may feel when they smell a fresh pot of coffee. Perfumes and colognes are the same – a specific scent may bring you back to an amazing first date, a fantastic dinner on holiday, or maybe a favourite season.

My signature scent brings me to a place where I feel confident, sexy and in control of my life. This scent is none other than Acqua di Gio by Armani Beauty. I love the light floral notes, perfect for summer or any day during the year.

I’ve been wearing Armani fragrances for a very long time. They’ve been my go to fragrance line for as long as I can remember. My signature scent from the line of Armani fragrances is Acqua Di Gio – it’s light, floral, and quite delicate, making it perfect for the warm summer months ahead.

One thing I notice about myself when I wear this scent is the rush of confidence that I get, and I think that this has a lot to do with how I always feel like my best self when I wear my signature fragrance. A scent that invokes confidence and happiness is an absolute must for me. Nearly as essential as a basic white t-shirt and skinny black denim in my wardrobe, a signature fragrance is everything.
