As much as we love a refreshing dose of our favorite fragrance during the day, we usually try to avoid public perfume application, as it always seems to get into the eyes or mouth of an innocent bystander. However, Paint a Scent from See by Chloé might be the solution we've been looking for: A teeny tiny version of Chloé's fragrance with a paintbrush applicator, this little guy is pretty much our ideal beauty product.
