On the nose
Is there anything so personal—or evocative—as a smell? Three Atlantans share their favorite scents.

Myrna Reyes
Store manager, Nordstrom Phipps Plaza
Hermès Calèche
“It’s effortless and classic, and once I apply the lotion and spray on the perfume, I know I’m ready to conquer the world.”

Cassandra Connors
Founder/CEO of Bella Bag
Silver Mountain Water by Creed
“I love things that have a rich history, and the Creed brand has been around since 1760, when the founder began creating custom fragrances for royalty. Silver Mountain Water speaks to the Swiss Alps and skiing—two of my favorite things.”

Jonah Hooper
Atlanta Ballet dancer
Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch
“With a hint of citrus and rosewood, which offers a woodsy undertone, this scent evokes memories of winter nights by warm fires.”
