Optimism

I love Sheer Freesia from Bath and Body - found it over 10 years ago (when it was originally called Freesia - I wonder if they have sold more now that it is called 'Sheer Freesia') and have tried to keep it stocked in my home  - which can be a difficult task - they don't carry it regularly in the store anymore and don't always have it online.  So a couple of weeks ago, I decided that I would try to find a new scent (a bit traumatic for me - did I mention that I LOVE sheer freesia?!).  I went into the store and asked for help - the associate showed me several different scents and in the end, I decided to try two of them - Blushing Cherry Blossom (not their other scents - Cherry Blossom or Japanese Cherry Blossom!) which is a nice floral scent and Optimism which is part of their new aromatherapy line.  I've worn both scents several times to see what I liked better.  I had decided that I liked the Blushing Cherry Blossom better but didn't want to waste the Optimism (a terrible thing to waste) so after several weeks - decided to wear Optimism today.  And driving in - it drove me crazy in the car - I kept sneezing which continued when I got in to work!  So I decided that I must be allergic to Optimism!  Dang - there goes my 2009 new year's resolution.  And, of course, lo and behold - I went online recently and after being out of it - I was able to get my cherished Sheer Freesia - so all is right with the world again.
