Fragrance for the fickle heart
We’ve read that Kirsten Dunst wears different scents depending on what character she's playing.
If you too are fickle when it comes to fragrance bypass the big name blends in favour of a beautiful indie scent ($45) created by Oregon-based alchemist, Heather Sielaff. Olo is just delightful. Each scent is hand-blended in limited edition batches and is inspired by the perfumer’s personal experiences.
Lightning paw (don’t you just love the name?) is subtle mix of bergamot, vanilla, jasmine, patchouli and wood. The combination of pine, juniper, cedar and vetivert in Forêt is lovely too.
And for the girl who really can’t commit, try a sample kit ($30). —Athena Tsavliris
