Sometimes, even empire builders need a weekend off.
So we packed our heels, our humor, and our favorite tote bags and headed to Dallas — because balance, like perfume, is all about layering the right notes.

Our first stop? Jo Malone, where the air smelled like sophistication and new beginnings. As April Sheris — our fearless, fragrance-forward leader — was suited for her new fall signature scent (after a divine hand and arm massage, of course), I couldn’t help but wonder…
Can a new scent also mark a new season in life?

From there, we traded luxury for serenity, wandering through the Japanese Gardens at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens — a tranquil world that felt half a world away. For a moment, deadlines melted into stillness.

Lunch at Clearfork with the effortlessly radiant Amanda Reaves of Aastria Legends reminded us that sisterhood is its own kind of wealth. And as the afternoon sun kissed the shop windows of Tory Burch, Louis Vuitton, and Dior, we remembered — a little retail therapy never hurt an empire.

Because when you’re building the future, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… is pause, breathe, and spritz something fabulous.
