In the midst of lifting heavy boxes, remembering memorable times that took place in your newly sold dwelling, and saying good-bye to a place that you've know for your entire life, you inhale and sniff your newly purchased perfume...Ahhh. Although choosing the perfect perfume on your moving day may be the least of your worries, the perfect fragrance can increase your overall mood and keep you fresh and light throughout the entire day. As every woman should have a perfume for every occasion, you can add one more bottle to your beauty stash that is only appropriate for one event; moving day. Here are some tips and tricks that every woman should follow to ensure that the scent that they select is one that will alleviate the amount of stress found on this monumental day.

1) Floral scents will bring back memories of your flourishing garden and keep you smelling like a violet throughout the entire event of moving day, so try a floral-based fragrance for an uplifting scent that will keep you relaxed day in and day out, even when you are settled into your new sanctuary. Avoid spraying too much on areas such as your wrists and neck, because then your scent can get overwhelming, which is never a good thing. The Gap carries a line of floral perfumes available at their newly created gapBody division of their store, and my personal favorite is the orange Mandarin Jasmin variety. Available for the low price of $21, this soothing scent will have interior designers and gritty movers alike walking up to you and asking, "Mmmm, what is that?"

2) Elements from nature that are incorporated into fragrances seem to be a new trend in the perfume industry today, and it's no wonder that new home owners are gravitating towards aromas with cotton or grass extracts for a comforting scent on their big day. Grass, water, cotton, and sandalwood might not seem pleasing to the nose, but when put into the right mix, the results are astounding. Marc Jacobs, the mastermind behind his high fashion line named after himself and his lower-priced line, Marc by Marc Jacobs, has come out with a brand-new fragrance line that has integrated elements of nature into his perfumes. My personal favorite, Marc Jacobs Grass Perfume has a light, airy scent that is reminiscent of a newly mowed lawn mixed with daisies. This yummy fragrance is available on usaperfumes.com for the bargain-basement price of $50, and will have you enjoying every moment of your moving day.

Although I'm no expert on the stress that women experience on moving day, I can truthfully say that these two perfumes will improve your mood and keep you refreshed throughout this important event in your life.
