Hello, everyone! I decided to start a series of posts about things that I'm loving and cannot wait until the end of the month to write about. There won't be any particular schedule to these. I'll just write about the products that I cannot get enough of. To kick off this series, I'll be talking about a perfume that I have been dousing myself in since I got it for Christmas.
Before I get into the perfume, let me mention the way I stumbled across it. I was in Sephora with Gordon over the summer and we were browsing the extensive collection of perfumes. I'm always curious as to what scents he likes so we were giving a variety of things a sniff. I saw this perfume and my first reaction was to laugh. "Alien?! What kind of a name for a perfume is that?!" I have seen some silly perfume names, but this one was just too much. I was still laughing and joking with Gordon about the absurdity of the name as I sprayed it on one of those sample paper things (anyone know what those are called). Let me tell you, I stopped laughing as soon as I inhaled this perfume. It was love at first scent and I was lusting after it for months.
The most fragrant notes in this perfume are vanilla and amber. They blend perfectly together creating a very sultry scent. A big factor for me when it comes to perfumes (especially ones that have a hefty price tag) is the lasting factor. This perfume lingers throughout a long day at work and dinner with a friend beautifully. It doesn't stay as potent as when you first put it on, but it settles nicely into your skin and clothes. I think this scent is great for this time of year when all you want is a warm drink and someone to snuggle up with.
What type of scents do you look for in perfume? Do you have any recent obsessions? Let me know in the comments!
Until next time,
Rachel
