Every good love story comes with a good fragrance. Every chapter in a woman’s life is sprayed with a drop or two of her favorite perfume to match the mood. From hardship to floating on cloud nine and back, a girly girl has a fragrance for every occasion and situation, including the one she'd never expected to find herself in, such as falling for a widower. The heart wants what is wants despite the fact that dating a widower is something most of us never thought to consider. Below is a list of perfumes perfect for new beginnings and serene romantic adventures.
1: Angel By Thierry Mugler
Angel by Thierry Mugler first hit the shelves in 1992, and over the past 25 years it has become a classic. With an old and popular fragrance like this, it's important to keep in mind it might have been worn by the deceased , in which case it should be dismissed right off the bat. But if that’s not the case, absolutely go for it, especially if you’re one of those sweet-by-day, devilish-by-night types of women who are always on a mission! Angel is an oriental vanilla fragrance with top notes including melon, coconut, mandarin orange, cassis, jasmine, and cotton candy, and it’s a strong fragrance that is perfect for a winter night out on the town or a seductive night in.
