Springtime in a bottle
I can tell you the story of my life through scent, from that first, huge bottle of Beautiful in high school to CK Truth at my first job to my recent addiction to BPAL. Right now, as my second child rounds the corner of two and I start to feel like a real person again, I want to smell fresh and new and filled with hope and energy. For me, for now, that scent is Leila Lou. The light, sparkly Leila Lou was created using 100% essential oils by LA makeup-artist-to-the-stars Rosie Jane to evoke notes of pear, gardenia, and freshly cut grass. Moms in particular will like the handy roll-on; you can stash it in the diaper bag without worrying that it will leak all over the goldfish.

I hear it's adored by celebrity moms like Jennifer Garner and Marcia Cross, but eh--that's great and all, but it's the smell that matters. As for that smell, I said, "Yum"; my husband said, "Snarl"; and my daughter said, "You smell like happy." Leila Lou makes me want to put on a breezy white skirt and tank-top, slap on some dangly earrings and sandals, and laugh too loud on a summer night..~Delilah
