Ralph Lauren, Romance, Rollerball
I have a really big purse; it fits an incredible amount of stuff inside of it. One of those things is a re-purposed makeup brush bag filled with my favorite fragrance rollerballs. I don’t know how many rollerballs a person usually carries with them, but from the reactions I’ve gotten from friends– I might carry a few more than is usual. In my defense, rollerballs are multi-use items and I use them quite a bit this time of year, when stress is running high.
Adie’s Uses for Fragrance Rollerballs:
1) Rollerballs are great for portable aromatherapy sessions, alone or with friends. During particularly stressful winter-time seminars, I used to pass rollerballs around with my friends. Smell is the sense most often linked with memory and a quick whiff of a favored note can tame stress. Or rollerballs can simply occupy your mind with something less worrying while providing a much-needed break.
2) Though it requires serious supervision, rollerballs are also great at distracting hyperactive little ones bent on unintended but certain destruction. I have sat littles ones down more than once at kid-friendly holiday parties and asked them to line up my rollerballs from their most to least favorite scent. So far, most kids seems to find this to be a pretty fun task and their answers as to why they prefer one fragrance to another may be the most candid, entertaining thing you hear at a holiday party.
3) Using a rollerball on yourself leaves you with the possibility that you’ll smell nicer. No guarantees, of course.
4) Rollerballs are a great way to test out a fragrance before buying a full-size bottle. There is one particular fragrance that was popular a few years ago that after being on my arm for an hour smelled like a toxic rubber fire. Yes. It’s always a good idea to test a fragrance before wearing it out or buying a huge bottle (see #3).
