Scent of Home

September is finally here.  I am sad to say good bye to the beautiful summer days.  The girls and I spent a lot of summer evening just lying on the grass, staring up at the blue sky and breathing in the fresh summer air.  We could spend hours doing just that.  The intoxicating scent from mixture of flowers and fresh cut grass always make me feel nostalgic.  It makes me think of hot sweaty summer nights when as a child I would run barefoot through the grass chasing after fireflies.  I can still remember the feeling of cool moist grass underneath my feet and the salty taste of sweat dripping down my face. Once in awhile at night, I would smell that exact scent breezing through the window.  It brings such pure happiness to my heart.  I always thought to myself how I would love to put that scent and feelings into a bottle until I found out Annie Sloan actually did just that.  A few months ago, Annie Sloan Unfolded  reached out to me and asked if I would like to review Annie Sloan Fragrance Line.  I love anything and everything Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® has to offer.  Chalk Paint® really changed my life and every single piece of furniture I have painted was with Chalk Paint®.

Annie Sloan has created six beautiful and high quality fragrances and candles that "evoke a place and a time too, stirring memories, conjuring idyllic scenes and feelings."  My favorite one is called Antibes.  To me, it smells of home.  It smells of endless summer nights where the air is filled with fresh flowers and sweet green grass.

  
This painting depicts the true essence of Antibes.  Green grass as far as eyes can see.  Clear blue sky carries the whisper of warm summer breeze.  Isn't it the picture of perfect summer day?

I now keep the Antibes Reed Diffuser in my bedroom.  I don't have to wait for that summer breeze to enter through my window.  Everyday now is the perfect summer day.

Love,
Victoria
