How I'm Making Memories Last Using Scent

I don't think it will come as a surprise to you that this post is about scents, not only that, today I'm sharing with you my chosen scent for Valentine's Day and why choosing a scent to mark an occasion should become an essential.

Choosing a scent to mark an occasion isn't exclusive to Valentine's Day, nor to lovers, but for when you want to treasure memories as well as be reminded of particular times in your life. From my childhood there are distinct perfume scents I remember; my auntie for one, had her signature scent and any time I smelt it, no matter where I was, it would remind me of her. To this day it still makes me think of her even though she no longer wears it. To me, it's incredible that a scent has the power to bring back floods of memories and so I've decided to create my own memories around a new scent.

Valentine's Day: "14 February, a day when it is tradition to send a card, often anonymously, to a person one is romantically involved with or attracted to." 

Cards, gifts and flowers are hard to keep forever For that reason, I'm looking for a new way to create memories this Valentine's Day and ensure I remember them whenever I get a whiff of my chosen scent. On date nights, I carry Chloé Love Story in my handbag to spritz whenever I want a scent top up throughout the day. Smell is said to be a trigger of memories so I want to build my Valentine's memories around this scent from Chloé, the name is so apt don't you think?
