My Comfort Blanket in a Perfume Bottle

A scent that knows how to hold you

It has been a long, stressful work week. She's met every deadline, launched a new project, and de-escalated a tense executive meeting.

Walking through the front door, she kicks off her heels and heads straight for the shower. It's Friday, and she has two hours before her cozy at-home date night with her husband. On the bathroom mirror there's a sticky note:

"Change of Plans - Be Ready to Leave at 7pm".

Three unanswered calls later, she jumps in the shower, annoyed by the lack of explanation. While cleansing, exfoliating, and lathering up, she mentally assembles an outfit despite her mood. Twenty minutes have passed. Still no word.

Feeling rushed by the time change, annoyed by no missed calls or texts, and frustrated by the secrecy, she storms into the bedroom, heart racing, and sees him. Her husband stands there with a bouquet of orange tulips, a box of praline chocolates, and two first-class flight tickets to Santorini, Greece. He smiles and says, "We've got a private movie night in the sky".

Althair by Parfums de Marly is the scent of the night. A blend of vanilla, praline, cinnamon, and orange blossom, that's familiar and safe, but confident.

It's my comfort blanket in a bottle. What's yours?
