She loves wearing it. Whenever I wear the scent, instantly I feel ready for anything that comes my way. There's something about the cinnamon-laced scent that brings back powerful memories," she says.

I love the way it lingers on the skin for hours, and on less frequently washed outerwear for days. Fashion designer and social justice advocate, Lindsay Jones is a fragrance obsessive who gravitates toward "masculine" energy. She's feeling Chris Collins' Danse Sauvage, with notes of cognac, chili pepper, and rose. I decided I should finally make it my own during the summer months when I'm in New York to remind me of Miami days.

Appealing yet professional. However to her point. Not really sexy but more a comforting and friendly vibe. This is a classic, sweet vanilla scent with a spicy cinnamon opening. It also has some nice floral heart notes that feel a bit unisex and not overtly masculine.

I had to ask the IT guy at work what cologne he wore because he smelled good while fixing my laptop!
