This Summer Let Your Scent Speak




The time for fragenance is anytime really, it always pays to smell fresh, clean exciting. A good scent can uplift your spirit, and charm people. But As I live in the city here in Washington, DC and I take the public transportation, I come to appreciate people who smell good. By that I mean when I come close to them and have no place to run away from them, it would be nice if they smell good.

I do not mind smelling their perfume, I do not have any allergies, in fact few of us have allergies to good smells, but I know this all of us have a negative reaction to stinky people. Do you know anyone who can tolerate stinky people? I do not. So this summer season be generous with your good scent spread it around.

A good smell is not just for public transportation bound folks. Think about it like how in your own car, you always do your best to make it smell good, weather you smoke, have drive through habits, or a gym rat you know you do something about the smell. You do it for yourself, because no one wants to be made smell unpleasant things.

I know women have all sort of smelly nice things, scented lotions, tiny air fresheners, on the go perfume and vaporizers mist...etc. Those are all great. Just make sure to keep it real. Same things for the dudes, I saw deodorant is a great start, but it does not have to end there. A good cologne can do the trick and it does not have to be a brand name or anything. Just do not try to cover up the sweat it with it, sometimes it makes it so much worse.

Long Live Dali Agua Verde!



If you want fragrance that is truly unique and far from being a cookie cutter scent, then Agua Verde should be on your list. This is what the modern man should smell like. For me when i took my first whiff of this designer bottle, it's like stepping my foot in a while new world that I have only seen in fairytale movies.


This spectacular cologne was created by Salvador Dali line in 2005--one of their later additions. This amazing masculine scent is a mixture of citrus', and makes a great gift for any occasion. It comes in 3.4 fl. Oz so be generous when you spray it. Perhaps the best thing about this cologne is it's relative unknown status, it's not something people have in mind, you must know it to ask for it. I love that about the Dali fragrance, it allows you to be unique.

Again the bottle is kind of cool, the tall rectangle shaped bottle with the famous kiss in the middle makes you want to grab this bottle and take it home.

C-THRU, The Greek Scent



Greece is known for many things, fashion does not come up to mind, they might have given us democracy and feta cheese, but this time they did well and given us a collection of one of a kind fragrance. At first I loved how the bottles were designed and i was impressed by their collectables with all those crystal like things inside the bottle.

I first bought one without smelling it, judging form the bottle design I was a fan. And once Roa and I opened it, we are fans. We went back to the fashion store and bought the other bottles too. The price was a factor too, they were all under ten dollars each. I always hear Roa get compliments when she wear this! You know how you switch up which perfume you wear depending on your mood, and what you're wearing? Well this is my go-to for when I'm in a carefree, happy-go-lucky sort of mood. And the bottle with the glass beads it just beautiful to look at and listen to.


C-THRU, a new fragrance line for young women. Launching with three fragrances in its debut collection, C-THRU is designed to pay tribute to individual personalities with signature colors and scents.
