Most romantic scent: jasmine, vanilla, lavender?

I'm not sure it matters much. Men tend to find any fragrance to be alluring.

Well, I'm trying to create the particular atmosphere, and the man I'm preparing for... is likely to notice the scent particularly.

Hmm. Well, every man is different in this respect. I think my husband would respond to the lavender, but your man may be different.

I feel like I should know which he would like best, but it isn't something we've ever talked about.

I just... really want Halloween night to be perfect.

Men don't tend to talk about those things, it isn't your fault. I'm sure he'll love whichever scent you choose.

I might buy a candle of each and see which one leaves the lightest scent. I think that's what he'd prefer. Hopefully, or I've bought the wrong perfume. Though I do think he'd prefer a more subtle scent...

That's probably a good idea. An overwhelming scent can ruin a good thing.

I just... want everything to go well. I'm probably worrying too much.

Probably. But you're not the first and you won't be the last.

First real date since I was an undergraduate, and... Well. One I hope to make very special.

So, I'm over-thinking it. I admit it. Not stopping me from doing it, though.

You'll be fine, Nadine. Don't worry. You've obviously put a lot of thought into this, I'm sure it will be perfect.

I'd go with Jasmine.

Any particular reason? Just out of curiosity.

I find it a more unique scent, understated. Lavender and vanilla are such common choices for everything from potpourri to candles- I guess I like to be more mysterious.

How strong of a scent is it usually?

It's a fairly modest scent, usually, very floral and feminine. It's said to even be an aphrodisiac.

Oh, that sounds perfect. I want something very light, subtle. I think that's what Jonathan would like best.

It's certainly one I'd recommend for something light and fresh, that wisp of catching scent that leaves the guy wondering what that lovely smell is. I'm sure your boyfriend (or whomever) will enjoy it!

That sounds wonderful. Thank you for your input.

You are very welcome, I hope you end up liking it.

I can't imagine I won't. I probably shouldn't even be as concerned about everything as I am, but it's... One of those nights, you know? Where you want everything to be just right...
