How These Latinxs Channel Their Roots Through Beauty

"I had the privilege of growing up in the mountains of Puerto Rico, surrounded by greenery and countless flowers. I grew up surrounded by scents and fragrances. Since I was little, I was taught to always pick a fragrance for each occasion. Because perfumes were an essential part of my childhood, I became a perfume enthusiast. I remember my grandfather applying Alcolado, a vigorous and refreshing scent, and my great-grandmother would apply scented talcs. They taught me that fragrances are a part of our routine and that we should choose our staple scent, no matter the occasion."
