Dear Stinky Woman on the subway,

We really should take pleasure in being the better smelling sex. Stinky is for hobos who don’t have access to a shower and soap. I take pride in the fact that I wear organic paraben-free deodorant from Origins and spritz a perfume on over that. Lately, I’ve been trying beauty brands that contain less toxins. I came across the new Fleur D’Amour phthalate-free fragrance by Sylvie Beljanski. The top notes of this sweet smelling dew is bergamot, the middle notes are lilies, jasmine, pink peony, and bulgarian rose; the bottom notes include white amber and musk. Its on the girly side so I only spritz a little of it. A little goes a long way. Don’t take this the wrong way but no one wants to sit next to you if you smell like a hormonal-teenage-boy-that-just-went-to-the-gym or the old-woman-who-showered-in-her-perfume.

Alaine
p.s. Please shower everyday.
