\u201cYou Or Someone Like You\u00a0is not the \u2018scent of LA\u2019 or \u2018the smell of the Hollywood Hills captured.\u2019 It is not one of those olfactory synecdoches. It is, on the other hand, stylistically and in its technical construction what a Los Angeles woman would wear in my view. Caroline and I discussed this at each step during the creation process. It is contemporary, 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century. It is LA, whatever that means, though in part it means the norms a scent would follow in a meeting at one of the agencies near Wilshire, at a studio, at a lunch in Bel Air or dinner off Beverly Drive. (The raw materials are completely irrelevant. The work is the work. If you need to know what it\u2019s made of, don\u2019t wear it;\u00a0You\u00a0is not for you.)<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMy fictional Anne wears it; so presumably do thousands of other women. It represents her only in the way all such choices represent us. What it will be to you is for you to decide, obviously.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2014 Chandler Burr<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n You Or Someone Like You is probably one of the freshest perfumes I’ve worn in my whole life. Imagine a fragrance that like Don Quixote sets off to fight the invisible LA heat and wins. Chandler Burr wows to never list the raw ingredients and the notes, but they can be sensed, as one by one or like a gang of friends play hide and seek with your nose and your sense of smell.<\/p>\n You can sense the minty leaves, with sugary sprinkle reminiscent of mojito, not in sweet, sticky but fresh without a dash of dewy way. There is a never-ending freshness, in a unique way, where fresh is stripped off its boringly aquatic narrative. I can sense some woodsy notes laying low, covered in greenery. And then of course is the floral dimension, that is in constant motion and subtly amplifies its presence.<\/p>\n You or Someone Like You is a truly unique fragrance, with Etat’s definition of uniqueness underlying the whole composition.<\/p>\n The veil of mystery that obscures the notes pyramid is not yet another marketing trick. In this particular fragrance, \u00a0the quote “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” applies perfectly. \u00a0The point is not to dissect the fragrance and strip it to the point of its parts. It is about the perfume as a whole, about enjoying yourself while you wear it. It gives you the liberty of being you or maybe even someone like you, someone you always wanted to be.<\/p>\n It gives you the freedom to be whoever you want. And that is the greatest gift of wearing this fragrance.<\/p>\n Each month, try choosing a scent that empowers you and helps you unlock the secrets to reach your full potential.<\/p>\n If you do not want to end up with a collection of unwanted fragrances that you\u2019ll simply put up for adoption, I suggest try using Scentbird\u2019s services.<\/p>\n Scentbird is a luxury fragrance subscription service that sends you a 30-day supply of a fragrance of your choice for $14.95\/month.<\/p>\n![\"You](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scentbirddev.itcraftlab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/You-or-Someone-Like-You.jpg?resize=1300%2C633&ssl=1\" "\\"You")
