fragrance

I think I've found my signature scent at last! Nanette Lepore. Here's how Sephora.com describes it:
"In order to capture Nanette Lepore's whimsically romantic creations, the perfumers abandoned the traditional - weaving together a tapestry of natural essences including threads that flow throughout the entire fragrance. The notes are delicate and white, colorful and sparkling, and warm and sensual.

Notes:
Moonstone Rose, White Peach, White Cranberry Juices, Magenta Nectar, Black Currant, Orange Jasmine, Persian Lime Juice, Velvet Violet, Amber, Indian Sandalwood.
Style:
Delicate. Colorful. Warm."

NeimanMarcus.com says:
"Delight the senses with a girly tapestry of notes from one the runway's darlings, Nanette Lepore.

• Layered fragrance opens with moonstone rose, white peach, and white cranberry juices.
• Mid notes explode with black currant, orange jasmine, and Persian lime nectar.
• Fragrance dries down with signature scent of violet petals.
• Developed by master perfumer, Gianni Mastrocola.
• In a half-moon, blush pink bottle with a bohemian-inspired floral wreath."

It starts out a little bit too sweet, with a slight scent of watermelon Jolly Ranchers. But after it dries down a bit it's warm and perfectly sweet but also not too simple. It has its own elegance.
So there's why I like it and highly recommend it. smile

Do you have a favorite scent? Doesn't necessarily have to be a perfume.

i save obsession for special occasions. usually i wear this:





Bath & Body Works
Coconut Lime Verbena

Bath & Body Works has introduced a new scent for spring and summer - Coconut Lime Verbena. This is definitely a summery scent, with it’s warm, sweet coconut base topped with tart citrus notes. The coconut scent in this is nice, without being too suntan-lotion smelling. Coconut Lime Verbena is available in shower gel, lotion, body scrub, and more.

I have a few that I rotate, but I can't commit to a single favorite...

"Angel," by Thierry Mugler (reminds me of being in Europe)
"1903," by J. Peterman (reminds me of being in San Francisco and also smells like something my dad or grandpa would have worn)
"Obsession," by Calvin Klein (a classic)
Patchouli (an ancient classic)

I have some favorites. As an everyday fragrance I use Oscar de la Renta's Signature deo stick and sometimes Laura Biagiotti's Laura, because at my work there is a lot of people and I get head ache of too many fragrances mixed.

On special occasions I use Elisabet Arden's Red door or Laura Biagiotti's Roma, I have some other fragrances too but somehow I just don't use them.

editing..just editing..

Sex in a bottle. What more can I say? The box is a delicate and feminine pink and when you open it up, the bottle is clear glass painted coal black on the inside to hide the secret that is the sexy woman this fragrance was made for. The main note of Narciso Rodriguez For Her is musk, which is the very core of all three accords in this perfume. The first pulse has been freshened with orange blossoms and osmanthus and a touch of amber. Next, the musk is illuminated by the creaminess of amberlyn and vanilla. Finally tactile woods lend a voluptuous dimension to the musk, such as the feminine vetiver. It all sounds very heavy and rather sickly, but goodness gracious, if you want to have them falling at your feet, get yourself in line to own Narciso Rodriguez For Her, pronto!


love

i had a tester of this a while back and fell in love

I WANT IT sigh
