In my role as a nutrition counselor, I quickly became familiar with the concept of "comfort foods." My clients would confide that often they were eating, not because they were hungry, but because a particular food brought them a sense of psychological comfort and well-being.I find this true of certain fragrances as well. To me, Christian Dior Addict is the emotional/olfactory equivalent of milk and freshly baked cookies. (This might be in part due to its delicious bourbon vanilla base). Sometimes I spritz my Addict in the air around me and just wait, eyes closed, as it floats in a gentle mist around me, landing on my skin like a gentle ethereal hug! Just breathing in the lovely scent makes me feel grounded, comforted and at peace.
How about you? Do you have a "comfort scent" that brings you a feeling of peace and equanimity?

Butterfly: I feel like I have been in the bakery and sampled some cookies already. Butterfly satisfies!
Hi Giselle!
Are you referring to Hanae Mori Butterfly? That fragrance IS like a delicious bakery! I used to wear it when my children were much younger, and invariably they would say, "Yum! You smell like candy!!!"
Yes, I love Hanae Mori-she really has been an inspiration.

Ah...she smells good to eat!
