Crossover Scents

If like me you’re obsessed with perfume/aftershave (so much so, you have a perfume wardrobe) but don’t like to restrict your scents to one season at a time, check these fantabulous “Crossover Scents” out.

They’re light enough to wear during the “warmer” months, but not too summery that you can’t wear them during AW.
