Now Smell This, Not That: One Type of Person I Always Like to Keep at a Distance When Working Out In the Gym
To All the gym lovers, When you work out in the gym, is there any kind of person that you always try to avoid or keeping at a distance?
For me, I always try to avoid heavily sweating or heavily perfumed people. Imagine in a yoga room, we do deep inhale and exhale, and all you can breathe in is your neighbor’s unpleasant smell + strong perfume — that could ruin a good yoga class. Please don’t misunderstand me, I like people using light scent / oil to spray on their yoga mats, like lavender or mint. I do that myself sometimes, but those are “barely there” smells, when you might have to do your yoga “child pose” when you have your nose close to the mat, and smell whatever scents are on the mat.
I am not against using perfume, I actually love to use it, depending on the occasion, environment. and mood. And here are 8 fragrances I love using this summer and how I style them differently.
Prada Paradoxe Virtual Flower Fragrance.
Key Notes: Neroli Bud, White Amber, White Musk
Feminine warm floral smell, I like to put on with my summer dresses.
Key Notes: Lemon, Saffron, Oakwood
Really a man’s fragrance, it is warm, woody and earthy. My son really likes this cologne, but I sometimes borrow it when I am working in the yard, feeling strong and powerful.
KILIAN Paris Sunkissed Goddess
Key Notes: Bergamot, Tiare Flower, Coconut
A fresh solar scent, I like to wear it around the pool side or going to the beach.
MAISON MARGIELA “REPLICA” BEACH WALK
Key Notes: Bergamot, Heliotrope, Coconut Milk
Another fresh scent, I love the light and clean smell. Not overpowering. It reminds of the sea.
l’eau de parfum by Cirque du Soleil.
Key Notes: Bergamot, red apple, cotton candy, iris, freesia, sandalwood, vanilla bean, camelized amber, and buttery popcorn.
In the style of Cirque de Soleil’s overwhelming live shows, l’Eau de Parfum by Cirque du Soleil offers an olfactory experience that is intriguing with its intricacy and complexity. Even the bottle is unique and fascinating, and I feel it is perfect to pair with an LBD for a fun night out.
Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum
Key Notes: Red Ginger, Incandescent Wood, Bourbon Vanilla
This fragrance is a spicy and woody cologne for men, that blends warm toffee, sensual bourbon vanilla, vibrant red ginger, and incandescent woods for a unique and bold fragrance. The scent is very seductive and inviting, yet sophisticated and elegant. My husband loves it, and I like to borrow when I wear a playful outfit or “borrow from the men” style look.
Key Notes: Lemon, Vodka Accord, Ginger
Fresh Citrus & Fruits scent
This features a fresh citrus and fruits scent. I went to the Kilian Paris event last month with my friend Bonnie, and one of the team members told us this is his favorite scent of the brand, and turned out it became our favorite perfume that night, and might stay in my “perfume rotation” for a while.
