Next week I'm starting a new job that requires nearly constant social interaction and and no small amount of charm.
I'm really amped up about doing well in this position and I want to make a great first impression.
Being a naturally shy person, I'm trying to give my attitude a little bit of 'oomph' by dressing a little fancier and trying to smile more, and by trying to be more assertive, friendly, and outgoing.
Does anyone have any suggestions for scents or blends that I might add to this persona, scents that might inspire confidence and easy conversation?
It has to be something with a little power to it, but something inviting, and not too aggressive. I'm looking to build happy, casual relationships, but not sexual ones.

Alright BPAL junkies, I love daffodils. Looooooove them. Deep underneath the tacky-goth exterior within my dark little heart a special place beats just for those goofy lookin' yellow flowers.
And now that spring is fading fast into Summer, I'm wondering if there is a magical BPAL scent that can help me hold on to them all year long.
I really like the way they smell - it's a faint smell, a pale yellow-green smell, that I associate with those perfect sunny mornings when everything is too warm to have any hint of winter left, yet cool and breezy and fresh before the summer settles in all dusty and hot.
I've done some searching for daffodils on the BPAL site under all of the common names, as well as all the flowers in the same family - Narcissus, Jonquil, Paperwhite, and Buttercups. This is the list I have of BPAL scents that use Narcissus-related flowers as a note:
Hades
Exhibition I: Orpheus
Exhibition II: Melancholia
Faiza's Companions: The Snake Pit - Cottonmouth
Darkness
House of Night
Hellion
Hunger
Languor
Pride
Poission D'Avril
Kitsune-Tsuki
Marquise De Merteuil
Blue Moon 2007
Eos
Baneberry (a related plant)
Does anyone know in which of these the narcissus/daffodil notes are most noticeable?
Or are there other scents out there that remind people of these flowers?
Any reply would be greatly appreciated.
