In New Book by Jessica Alba - The Honest Life - Actress Unveils her Scent Philosophy & Favorite Fragrance {Scented Quote of the Day}
Jessica Alba just published a book of advice on beauty and life entitled The Honest Life: Living Naturally and True to You. As a new mom, she needed to reconfigure her life and priorities while creating a safe environment for her family. In it, she has a passage about perfume. She writes,
"I generally skip perfume - between body wash, lotions, and shampoos, perfume isn't really necessary, and it's one less product to layer on and fuss with. But sometimes I do like to have a special scent, and I'll create my own by adding a couple drops of essential oils...
- gardenia and jasmine are my favorites - to a body oil. [Play around but be careful about getting into the patchouli and such, unless that's your move - the goal is to still smell like yourself.) For special nights out, I can't get enough of the Honoré des Prés fragrance line by Olivia Giacobetti: it's completely phtalate - and other sketchy fragrance ingredients - free and smells ah-mazing. Her Vamp à NY is my favorite scent."
If you wish to read the book here's some more information about it,
