BBQ for instance transports me immediately to a little Mom n Pop BBQ stand in Manitou Springs, Colorado I can almost taste the BBQ. I could spot it by sight but the name? Nope, can’t remember it. But, dangggg did they ever have the best food. Cornbread and coleslaw with sunflower seeds!?!? GREAT!!! Now, I am hungry again!! (This diet, not going well!) I immediately think of my Mom when I smell the perfume Opium. On the other side of the spectrum, I can’t help thinking of my ex-husband when I smell hot tar. (roofer!) I Am Radiant this is a perfect scent when my day is just… well.. blah. An empowering scent. Each shipment comes with a description card that tells you a little more…
