Coco Chanel once said, "A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future." Now that seems a little extreme, but we Southern women do love a little fragrance.
A story on NPR's "All Things Considered" about the re-opening of the French Museum of Perfume yesterday made me think: Are there quintessential Southern scents?
A quick and non-scientific poll amongst colleagues comes up with some similar scents: gardenia and wisteria, to name a few. So inextricably tied to memory, scent is part of the way that we tell stories about places, people, and experiences.
I'm curious: what scents evoke the South to you? Is there a particular perfume or beauty product that you are drawn to because of its connection to the South? Please leave your thoughts in the "Comments" section below.
