Spring Fragrance Picks...

Well, girls, spring is "in the air" and so with that come the new spring fragrances.  We all know that fragrance is such a personal choice and not all fragrances are universally flattering.  It's all about skin chemistry and what type of scent with which you like to surround yourself.  Not to mention, a beautiful bottle and an intriguing ad campaign are good selling points too :) 
So, here are my 10 personal  picks for new spring fragrances...
