The name is perfect - it is sensuous and comforting. Very interesting about your friend!

And I should be working. Along the what to wear around baby line, my interest in perfume really started when I was pregnant but I've been trying to wear the same thing around my baby, 3.5 months. I chose 100% Love as the everyday new mother scent for me. However, I can't resist different perfumes for other occasions. Wore Rive Gauche for her baptism (I think it's a brunette floral!), will wear Eau de Cartier or Pamplelune or Calyx to the beach this summer etc. By the way, I don't think wearing a soft perfume like 100% Love covers the lovely baby/breastmilk smell in case you're wondering, in fact I think it blends nicely!

Maybe it depends on where you work. It's hard to make the argument that Joy isn't perfectly appropriate anywhere, but I can see some people arguing that wearing a floral slots you as "feminine", with whatever baggage that carries. Then again, I wore Goutal Des Lys to the office today, so there! Hmm. Maybe it depends on where you work.

In this, I find it depends on what kind of business you're trying to carry off. If you're dressed to impress, the classic Chanels (pre-Allure) seem to do the trick. If I'm headed in for a meeting with a client, a subliminal touch of No. 19 or Cuir de Russie (not as familiar as No. 5, and with the icy calm of iris at the heart) is what I go for.
