“Do you want to go to the mall with me?” I asked my friend, Julie. “Now that it’s spring, I need to update my beauty products! Want to help me pick some out?”

“We don’t need to go to the mall to get everything that you need for spring,” she laughed. “Come here,” she ushered me over as she sat at her computer, rapidly typing in a website. “Meet the Harvey Prince online store, the only place to get the best fresh perfume, Perfumista,” she said, pointing towards her screen.

“Perfumista? Wow, it’s like it’s named after me!” I joked, since I’m such a beauty and fragrance lover. “But what does it have to do with spring?”

She walked over to her dresser and picked up a bottle of Perfumista that I had never noticed before. With just one spritz, a bouquet of floral scents was released into the air. I could make out exotic Moroccan jasmine and fresh lily of the valley, and instantly fell in love.

“Wow, the best fresh perfume is like spring in a bottle!” I said.

“I know! That’s why the only beauty switch that I have to make when the seasons change from winter to spring is start using the best fresh perfume, Perfumista,” she explained.

I turned back to the screen to look at the Harvey Prince online store. As I did so, the second wave of incredible notes in the best fresh perfume, Perfumista hit me. Warm amber, sandalwood and musk fell gently from the air and landed onto my skin. Just as I was closing my eyes to savor these scents, I noticed something shocking on the computer. “Look at these prices! They’re so…” I started.

“Affordable?” she finished my sentence. “It’s mind-blowing how Harvey Prince manages to craft a 100% cruelty free, vegan and gluten free fragrance made in the USA with the finest natural ingredients and best essential oils so affordable, but he pulls it off. Perfumista is just one of many incredible scents that are sold through the store. Once I start shopping, I get distracted for hours reading about all the different scents!”

“Wow, I can’t believe I’ve been wasting my time shopping at department stores when this treasure chest of eco-conscious and high quality perfumes is right at my fingertips!” I said, discouraged with myself.

“And you call yourself a perfumista?” she teased as we both laughed.
