How to Smell Like Brigitte Bardot

I've mentioned before that I can be a bit of a perfume-floozy. When the seasons change, I become restless and I want a new fragrance.

Last fall I was obsessed with Annick Goutal's Mandragore {made from the "magical" mandrake root}. But, since the bottle is almost empty, I have been on the prowl for a new perfume. I was leaning toward Patyka Ambre or Marc Jacobs Lola {both of which smell amazing}, but I wasn't completely ready to make the commitment...and then I discovered Tocca Brigitte.

Thank-goodness for Sephora free samples!!! I probably would never have found this perfect scent otherwise! The fragrance is inspired by Brigitte Bardot, and is a blend of rose and sandalwood -- just gorgeous. I believe finding a perfume that suits you is a little like buying a new house or car -- you just know when you see it...or smell it, in this case!

What about you?? Do you stick to one fragrance year-after-year, or do you switch it up? How do you know when a scent is right for you?
