Even with scorching heat -- there is one thing that can be left inside your car, or purse, or clutch -- that will never, ever, ever get hot: perfume and body spray. Yummm. I can already smell the vanilla and almond oil and rose petals and fresh peony and hydrangeas and jasmine-cinnamon combinations.The dynamic City of Angels is experiencing wicked weather with temperatures rising to 113 degrees. Ouchie. Even a trip to the pool with our version of the Marylin Monroe vintage bathing suit, is too hot too handle. Today I just feel like going about my day wearing nothing but a fresh towel like our flirty grand dame pictured above (Gil Elvgren artwork) and to make it cooler, I would splash the towel with my all-time favorite fragrance: Lolita Lempicka (buy it now!).
Perfume has been around since the time of the Ancient Egyptians and the first fragrance ever named was Bouquet a la Marichal (Swanky!).
Today we have thousands of different brands to choose from and if you own more than 20 bottles (like myself) that makes you a deliciously smelly gal!
In any case, in order to avoid the aggravation of the hot, boiling sun kissing your soft skin as you make your way through the Farmer's Market (in search of fresh flowers), make sure to spray your body with the smelly substance. I recommend the most mainstream and easily available Victoria's Secret brand because they sell purse perfumes (like the ones pictured above) and they're affordable and sweet.
Just remember to never rub perfume because that crushes the molecules of the fragrance and ruins the scent. Just spray and go!
