Rhonda is our subject today. Rhonda is a petite brunette in her 50s and “in the throes of menopause”, and therein lies her perfume problem: her sense of smell has “intensified tremendously”. All of her old perfume loves no longer suit, so she'd like our help.
Up until a couple years ago, Rhonda wore Dolce & Gabbana's By Woman, and she found it “just about perfect”. Now, it smells intolerably sweet to her. She also liked Bond no. 9's New Haarlem and some of the Montale Aouds, but they're likewise now too intense, too sweet, too flowery or too vanilla.
She'd like a new wood or spicy fragrance that doesn't make her gag, and she'd like her new scent to be $100 or less…
