There are some that dont share my passion for scent, for many reasons.
And while I may not understand them, I have a go at.
Some may not want to smell like the same thing day in and day out, which makes sense.

I get that too.
They often feel like an in-crowd to which you were not invited.
Let me introduce you to a brand that has is trying to change all of that.
They are available at your local Target or online, at a very accessible price point.
They simply make it straightforward and easy to understand, without sacrificing quality.
And theyre just…great.
But lets just get into each one, shall we?
Mix:Bar Vanilla Bourbon
Why dont we start off with an absolute banger.
But vanilla is lovely.
Vanilla is versatile, its in everything.
Vanilla is familiar and homey.
Learn to love it again, I implore you.
But this scent is so much more than just a simple take on vanilla.
This is a deep, warm, textural take on the classic note.
It is VERY good.
Mix:Bar Tangerine Squeeze
This is way better than it has any excuse being.
I like citruses as much as the next person.
Do I need an entire fragrance based around citrus?
Its not what Id reach for first.
But Tangerine Squeeze is so good and so much fun.
And I dont mean that its ultra-sweet, because its not.
It really smells a citrus thats been squeezed and macerated into a drink.
Its bright and very refreshing.
I cant wait for the weather to warm up because I want to wear this all summer long.
This is an unexpected favorite of the bunch.
Mix:Bar Cloud Musk
I suppose a musk was inevitable.
Admittedly, I am not a musk lover, but Igetit, okay?
I see why all you people love them, even if I dont understand it.
If we must, this one is a skin scent.
I mean, its barely there, but I think theres strength in that, too.
It kind of smells like a babys head.
Do you know what I mean?
Id almost venture to say that rose is not the main focus here.
Ill be honest, I dont die for florals.
Glass Rose, though, is really quite nice.
Its a light, breathy take on roses and other flowers that compliment it.
Its almost a little aquatic, or, glassy.
The more I think about it, the more the name makes sense.
Mix: Bar Coconut Palm
We all love coconut, those are the rules.
Coconut is like vanillas big sister that people arent afraid to admit they like.
Coconut Palm is fantastic.
Its very different from its vanilla counterpart and has an identity all its own.
Mix:Bar Wood Elixir
This is another one thats a definite WOW.
It smells like expensive fragrances with shiny black caps, late night Ubers, and luxury hotels.
I mean, people go crazy over woods, have you noticed that?
Wear a woody scent and youll be hearing you smell sogood all day long.
This is very wood forward, with a little blackberry to add sweetness and patchouli to add depth.
It is probably the deepest, darkest of the bunch, and its pretty addicting.
Theyre sweet, pungent, tangy, and deep, and can mix beautifully with other notes.
The soft addition of floral and woods add texture, and vanilla softens all of the edges.
It starts off big, but ends up wearing very closely to the skin, which I like.
Each scent I wore was still there by the end of the day, if faintly.
