“I love Aroma M Geisha Blue, which is a fragrance oil in a roll-on tube. It’s Spring-like and sweet, but not in a cloying way. People always comment on how good it smells. The main notes are blue chamomile, green tea, and jasmine. I’m really big on tea scents.” – Alex Sanidad, Research Manager

“Rose 31 from Le Labo is my favorite scent to wear. It’s a spicy masculine rose for those of us who prefer to wear a muskier fragrance with a hint of femininity. Throughout the day, you’ll notice a cedar and cumin note as the rose top note fades. I grew up around cedar trees, so the cedar note has a special bit of nostalgia for me” – Alyssa Pena, Fashion Credits Editor
Le Labo Rose 31, $180, luckyscent.com
