A common theme of my getting ready for school routine was dousing myself in one of the bestselling scents (so much so that people probably thought I was bathing in it), meaning I always felt like the most glamorous person in the classroom.
I've since graduated to, dare I say it, more sophisticated scents such as Jo Malone and Bon Parfumeur — but my love for Y2K pop culture remerged this week when I spotted both of my beloved bottles with huge Amazon Prime Day discounts.
