The Monday Mail on Tuesday ~ help Alia find a new fragrance
Today’s subject, Alia, has been waiting patiently for her Monday Mail article, which did not appear yesterday due to various & sundry technical difficulties. Alia is a mother of twins in her late 20s, and she’s looking for a casual fragrance to match her casual but smart style. She says she loves perfume but doesn’t know much about it, and many strong fragrances give her a headache.She can pay up to $200, and she lives in Seattle and has good access to perfume stores.
Alia likes citrus and ginger notes, so long as they aren’t too strong, and clean fresh scents, again, so long as they aren’t too strong. Her favorite perfumes, in descending order, are Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue, Clinique Happy, Carolina Herrera Chic, Banana Republic W, Ralph Lauren Romance and The Body Shop White Musk. Estee Lauder White Linen would have been a hit if it weren’t so strong.
Alia doesn’t like strong florals, especially jasmine, or sweet cloying perfumes…
