BUILD YOUR SAMPLE SETHow to wear sweet scents
- Less is more. Sweet notes project well. Start with two sprays.
- Match the season. Rich gourmands like Velvet Glow shine in winter; lighter sweets like Blush Meadow suit summer.
- They last. Vanilla and amber are heavy base notes, so sweet perfumes are usually long-lasting.
