When it comes to perfume,<\/span> I\u2019m pretty boring. <\/span>I\u2019m quite loyal to my signature scents, so I rarely venture outside of my comfort zone. You\u2019ll notice this is a theme in my life. Products I receive go through a very rigorous testing phase before they make it into my day-to-day regiment. To help me push this process along, I have an intern who keeps me fresh. She helps me go through everything I\u2019m sent, so I don\u2019t miss any hidden gems that cross my path.<\/span><\/p>\n

She REALLY saved me the other day when a mailing from Catbird<\/a> (you know, the culty-cool Brooklyn-based boutique known for their jewelry) was delivered to my door. As she was reviewing the solid perfume trio inside, she stopped in her tracks, exclaiming, \u201cWho, these are SO good.\u201d I smelled the perfumes myself and couldn\u2019t help but agree.<\/p>\n

That got me thinking. Wouldn\u2019t it be great to carry around your favorite sexy summer scent wherever you go — something chic and portable to apply whenever you\u2019re craving a midday refresher? (You know, when the scent of the subway is just too gross to handle.)<\/p>\n

With this in mind, these Catbird babies were PERFECT. The collection is made up of 3 equally delicious scents. Kitten<\/a> (notes of musk, amber and violet) is\u00a0a love letter to the early girls of Catbird, with visions of dusty records, lipstick and feather pillows.\u201d Tarot Deck<\/a> (notes of incense, pencil shaving and Turkish rose) is a\u00a0\u201cdusty, romantic mystery, a steamy night behind the embassy.\u201d It smells of dry musk and a hint of smoke. Lastly, Ghost Rose<\/a> (notes of English rose, champagne and peony) is a \u201clost estate, an age ago, where sylphs wound through the damp, thorny gardens at night.\u201d They\u2019re just as amazing as they sound.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more where those portable bits of perfection came from.<\/p>\n

Another fragrance brand that\u2019s caught my attention is By Rosie<\/a>. She has quickly become one of my favorite under-the-radar brands for her poppy lip and cheek balms and, of course, her rollerball fragrances. James Fragrance Oil <\/a>(notes of fig, amber and gardenia) is light, earthy and romantic. Leila Lou<\/a> (notes of pear, jasmine and freshly cut grass) is clean, fresh and totally addicting. Tilly<\/a> (notes of grapefruit, pineapple and tropical gardenia) is warm,\u00a0sensual and delicate.<\/p>\n

Not yet satisfied? Another brand I love is 1509<\/a>. It\u2019s perfect for girls like me who love distinct smells (think Byredo\u2019s entire collection) and want to try something new and possibly even more unique. It\u2019s made right here in New York City, and is another pure fragrance oil similar in vibe to By Rosie. The base note is clean, warm amber and the top note is baby\u2019s breath. It\u2019s got a sweet and slight smoky scent, and it\u2019s actually hydrating to your skin. Yes, it\u2019s possible! It\u2019s also quite beautiful to look at, as there\u2019s actual baby\u2019s breath that floats inside the bottle. The scent<\/a> is unisex, but if you\u2019re looking to get something for your guy, I\u2019d suggest looking at Matthias<\/a>. Same vibe, but it\u2019s just a bit more masculine.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s safe to say this whole on-the-go fragrance thing is a trend worth paying attention to.<\/p>\n
