MY MOM STARTED THIS THING WITH MIXING SCENTS. SHE WOULD MIX TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PERFUMES TO MAKE HER OWN SCENT. BELIEVE IT OR NOT SHE MADE A HIT EVERYTIME!
I REMEMBER US GOING OUT ONEDAY AND SHE JUST FINISHED RUBBING HERSELF DOWN IN HER OWN UNIQUE SCENT. WE GOT ON THE BUS AND RODE DOWNTOWN TO THE SHOPPING AREA IN BROOKLYN. WE WENT INTO THIS CALLED "MAYS". SHE NOTICE A GUY FOLLOWING HER, SHE TURNED TO HIM AND SAID "WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME, DO YOU KNOW ME? IN A SASSY VOICE. HE SAID "NO, I DON'T KNOW YOU, BUT I LIKE YOUR PERFUME. DO YOU MIND TELLING ME WHAT'S THE NAME OF IT?" SHE SMILED AND SAID "IT'S CALLED ROSALYN'S SCENT AND THEY DON'T HAVE IT IN STORES. SO I GUESS YOU CAN'T BUY IT FOR YOUR WIFE." SHE SMILED AT HIM AND TURNED AND WALKED AWAY.
I WAS ABOUT 8 OR 9 YEARS OLD AND I STILL REMEMBER IT AS IF IT WAS YESTERDAY. THAT SCENE WAS SOMETHING YOU WOULD SEE ON T.V. AS A GROWN UP, WHEN I THONK ABOUT THAT DAY, I JUST BURST INTO LAUGHTER BECAUSE IT WAS SO HILARIOUS.
I CREATED ROSALYN SCENT AS A TRIBUTE TO MY MOTHER, I WANT HER DREAM TO LIVE ON THROUGH ME. EVERYTIME I SIT AT MY TABLE AND CREATE A SCENT, I ALWAYS ASK MY MOM TO GUIDE ME THROUGH IT. (YES I TALK TO HER SPIRIT)
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MY HANDS CREATE THE BEST BATH AND BODY PRODUCTS AND ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT ROSALYN SCENTS ARE PERFECT!

Sounds like your Mom passed on her creative genes to you. LOL. That is really cool that she created something that not only she liked but that other people liked as well.
