The Fragrance of Fall 

“A change of season calls for a change of scent that is both energizing and refreshing.”

Hannah Bronfman

Wellness Entrepreneur and Author –  Do What Feels Good

There are many things that change with the seasons…

The shift in the weather inspires us to change our beauty and makeup, mindset, attire, and even self care routines like skincare, but one thing that we might often forget to renew is our perfume. 

Bronfman’s quote says it best. As the leaves begin falling and Autumn starts calling, it’s time to add a new fragrance to the mix.
