8 Scents That Are Like Confidence in a Bottle — and Might Just Get You Hired

"I'm a pretty ritualistic person, so for job interviews or other BFD-days, I always bust out the same perfume, and I have ever since watching Elle Woods spritz it on during the first few seconds of Legally Blonde. While preparing for a big date, the law student spritzes on Clinique Happy Fragrance ($69). For some reason, it made a big impact on middle-school me, and I used money earned from my Summer job picking blueberries to buy a bottle. I think the clean and classic floral scent leaves you smelling fabulously low-key. During job interviews, I want to come off as capable and confident, without trying too hard. This scent is the perfect way to let people know you smell good, but it's NBD. . . that's your just natural aura." — Alaina Demopoulos, beauty writer
