Whenever I have an interview, important presentation, or really anything event where I need my confidence to be high, I wear Secret Genius by Pinrose. Honestly, nothing about the scent screams, “I am confident. Hear me roar!” No, it is a sweet gourmand.
$90 for 1.7 oz
Notes
Top: Mandarin, Bergamot
Mid:Caramel, White Chocolate, Jasmine
Base: Madagascan Vanilla, Cedarwood, Sandalwood
Honestly, this all started one day going through my collection to get ready. The name alone is what drew me to apply it that day. In full transparency, this is not one of my favorite scents. On me, it smells mostly of chocolate. I tend to stay away from smelling too much like a piece of food. This is very sweet; I am not. And yet, I keep reaching for it because I of the association I have made.
As I get ready for something that scares me a bit, I apply it to my wrists and speak a word of encouragement to myself. Basically, I tell myself, “No matter how this goes. No matter what they think, I know the truth. That a genius is here.”
For that reason alone, I will probably be buying another bottle.
What about you? Do you have any fragrances that you gravitate towards for specific occasions?
