We believe it’s time to completely embrace the spirit of Globe Smile Day in light of the dreary, colder days and the longer, darker evenings (not to mention the present status of the world in general). Harvey Ball, a businessman from Worcester, Massachusetts, founded the company. He is most known for creating the now-iconic “Smiley Face” sign in 1963. The inaugural “World Smile Day” was observed in 1999, and it is now a yearly custom. Perhaps now, more than ever, we need people to smile. Thus, we provide a variety of scents that make us happy every time we wear them, and we invite you to look for them. Alternatively, why not make someone else happy by giving them one of these scents?

Happy Paul Bright Spice
This immediately uplifting scent was “developed by a not-so-happy Paul… who has suffered with sadness” and was “crafted to stimulate a little joy from the outside in.” With a frost of spearmint leaves and an almost fruity/fresh eucalyptus scent, bright bergamot, and lemon shine. A tingling of pink pepper and cinnamon bark transitions to frankincense and the reflective center of rosemary, all of which lie on a woody base. You can smell nice while helping others since 20% of sales proceeds are donated to the mental health organization YoungMinds.

Bath House Climbing Trees
The fragrance, which was created in partnership with British perfumer Ruth Mastenbroek, lives up to the name’s great connotations. Vetiver, cedar, and amber, which depict the wood floor, bring back images of happy childhood summers and fields of grass burnt by the sun. Sweet bergamot and brilliant jasmine glisten like dappled sunlight as they clamber effortlessly through dense canopies of scented green foliage, while lemon and rosemary seem to be grinning in the cold rural air. Basically, freedom’s aroma in a bottle!

Valentino Born in Roma Yellow Dream
Imagining beautiful dawn over Rome with lemon-colored blossoms covering the street as a self-assured woman marches out to meet the new day, we are celebrating “a fresh beginning, full of life, hope, and optimism” (YES PLEASE!) This reminds us of freshly washed hair shining in the sun, a vivid yellow dress, heels kicked off, and a musky route traveled in bare feet on sun-warmed cobblestones while grinning the entire time. Floral but fruity (in the most grown-up, effervescent manner).

SKANDINAVISK Kapitel 12 Freedom To Roam
In order to keep up with our Scandinavian counterparts, we have recently grown to appreciate the outdoors more than ever. With Freedom to Roam, the Scandinavians have captured the joyous essence of the wilderness. The perfume symbolizes an old Scandinavian rule that welcomes exploration and adventure, conjuring images of heather-lined routes above the tree line via notes of wild berries, herbs, and woodlands. Just the notion of escaping to the forest and leaving behind everyday pressures makes people smile. simply magnificent

MOSCHINO Toy 2 Bubblegum
The creative director of Moschino, Jeremy Scott, was in full-on fun and flirtatious mode with this one as they continued their teddy bear picnic of fragrances. With hints of childhood memories and the grins they elicit, the pink bottle (and name) is outrageously obvious. However, it swiftly transitions from the playground to a remarkably elegant Bulgarian rose laced with peach and blackcurrant and set on a foundation of mildly spiced, polished wood. Despite their humorous and cheeky demeanor, they are incredibly attractive and quite wearable.
