I have always favored just one perfume at a time. As it turns out, a scent for each phase of my life.

It was Love’s Baby Soft and growing pains.

It was White Shoulders and my first real kiss.

It was Kate Spade and my first sweet taste of freedom.

It was Michael Kors and meeting the the love of my life.

I thought I had found the scent that would stay with me through the decades of my life – Joy by Jean Patou.

I have no doubt that Joy will always be my standby but lately I am looking for something to speak to that unique feeling of calm and exploratory.

So thank you Oscar de la Renta for doing what you do so well…creating perfection. Live in Love is the purest blend of lily of the valley and jasmine – my signature scents.

Oscar de la Renta Fragrance Live in Love – Nordstrom $78 for 1.7oz.
