I never even gave a thought to what fra­grance Kate would be wear­ing on her wed­ding day. Now that it’s been announced..I found it a sweet glimpse into her real per­son­al­ity. Maybe she gave it a lot of thought — or maybe none at all. Maybe she wears it all the time and it’s her sig­na­ture scent.

As I’ve said before, I find the art of fra­grance and per­fume fas­ci­nat­ing. When I find out a scent that some­one I admire or find inter­est­ing wears — I usu­ally remem­ber and try it out the next time a saunter past a per­fume counter. Fleuris­simo by Creed seems to be a favorite of the nobil­ity and of Madonna too. I’ve tried it a few times and didn’t get the charm…but I try it every time just the same…

A few favorites of the Roy­als are: Princess Diana-Lady Diana: Her­mes 24 Faubourg, Princess Grace of Monaco– Fleuris­simo by Creed and Queen Eliz­a­beth– Fleuris­simo by Creed and Joy by Jean Patou.
