My take on Scents
{{Sensual, Sweet, or Sassy?}}
I will Likely be continuing to update this list as time goes on, and new scents spring up in my mailbox. While I believe being objective is always important, choosing a perfume is a very personal choice, and personal taste will always be a ruling factor. That said, I will give each perfume the same treatment. They will be given a:
**Scent profile: This is my determination of the scents general fragrance.
**Strength: I will tell you where the scent falls by way of potency. (Or whether or not you can smell it across the room).
**Classification: My determination of whether the scent is Sensual, Sweet, or Sassy in feel.
**Number rating: This is where the scent falls on my scale of personal preference, and is completely subjective.

{{Femme by Vince Camuto}}
-Scent|| Spicy, citrussy, patchouli. A small hint of floral.
-Strength|| Strong.
-Rating|| 5 Definitely not a favorite of mine. Femme may be a bit of a misnomer, as I find this scent to be borderline masculine. The slight floral is possibly the only thing keeping this from registering as a masculine scent with me.

{{Marc Jacobs - Daisy, Eau so fresh}}
-Scent|| Fruity, white floral, and a bit citrussy
