As someone who's never owned perfume, I was excited to build my signature scent.
Since I have seasonal allergies, I avoid wearing strong perfumes that trigger my sinus issues. Before visiting Bouquet Parfums, in Brooklyn, New York, I was intimidated because I didn't know how to choose a complimentary fragrance.
When my roommate went to a perfume-making class in Manhattan, she encouraged me to attend a workshop and find my signature scent, which according to Vogue, is a fun and unique way to express yourself.
I decided to try it out for myself, and the experience was one I'll never forget.
