Now that the season is changing toward summer here in the QC, I'm thinking about replacing some of my dwindling supply of warm-weather scents. As I dig through my stash of giant full sized bottles, rollerballs, and various sample spritzers, I took some time to document and organize some of my all-time favorites that I will be repurchasing for the upcoming season. I've included the notes of each for objectivity's sake, but I'm typically a floral, bright, sweet scent lover, so these will tend to follow those preferences! Enjoy!
