When I was younger, I promised myself that I&#8217;d create my own fragrance one day (I need to start working on that!). The right scent can make you feel <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2016\/12\/08\/armenyl-christmas-gifts-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">powerful<\/a>, sexy or flirty. I understood at an early age that fragrances were a personality piece. I never wanted to smell like anyone but myself, so I chose scents that fit my mood and expressed my personality. I paid extra attention to layering scents from my body wash right down to my perfume and I would always receive a lot of compliments on how I smelled.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, I became more drawn to scents for the memory factor. Smell is known to have one of the strongest ties to memory. It has the power to evoke the most vivid of nostalgia. It&#8217;s no surprise that we connect people and things in our lives with scents: the smell of our favorite childhood dish, the embrace of a lover, and the sweet smell of home away from home. \u00a0[\/column][column size=one_half position=last ]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13254 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-8.jpg\" alt=\"The best perfumes for women edit and photography by Armenyl\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-8.jpg 800w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-8-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-8-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-8-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>[\/column]<\/p>\n<p>[column size=one_half position=first ]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13255 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-7.jpg\" alt=\"The best summer scents fragrances and perfumes edit and photography by Armenyl\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-7.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-7-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-7-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Summer-Scent-The-Fragrance-Edit-By-Armenyl-7-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>[\/column]<\/p>\n<p>[column size=one_half position=last ] Being a <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/category\/travel\/postcards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">traveler<\/a> at heart, I will take anything that transports me to a distant memory.
