I saw several different pins touting the idea of finding a new perfume for your wedding day and then saving it to use only on the occasion. The idea is that when you wear the perfume, the scent memory will overwhelm you with strong nostalgia for nuptials. It sounded cheesy, but I figured I needed to buy a new perfume anyway, so my shopping needs aligned with this practice. I hunted down a scent that felt like it fit my personality and the wedding. My ceremony would be held on a warm Summer day outside, so I didn't want anything that would compete with the pretty, natural aromas (such as the lavender in bloom at our venue!). I also almost never wear perfume, so anything too strong was eliminated. I found a few contenders (included in the shopping picks featured here), but ultimately, I found the perfect scent — or rather, scents — at Jo Malone.
