I recently chatted with beauty journalist and editor Kara Jillian Brown about perfume’s ability to boost confidence and I recommended a few scents and notes that boost my morale in different situations. You can read her article for InStyle magazine, with a few quotes from me, here. (Thanks, Kara!)

Do you reach for a specific fragrance when you need a little extra bit of confidence? Feel free to share your own picks in the comments!
