Pros

Easy to layer

This writer considers designer Jennifer Fisher's cozy vanilla and tonka bean-noted My Scent rollerball one of the best fragrances to layer with. "For years, I could never find a perfume that smelled the way I wanted it to smell," she previously told BAZAAR.com. "I was always mixing my favorite scents to make my own signature blend. My Scent is my memories and mood in a bottle. It is comforting and sexy."
