Bon Parfumeur 402 Guilty Vanilla review

pictured: 402 Guilty Vanilla / nail polish /

I love a good vanilla perfume, and 402 Guilty Vanilla by Bon Parfumeur is the perfect version. Don’t be mistaken, this is not a simple vanilla fragrance, it is complex and grown up; perfect for anyone who not only loves vanilla but enjoys and appreciates artistic fragrance. Love!

Let’s dive into the notes in this perfume.

Top notes: almond blossom, icing sugar, almond

Middle notes: vanilla, caramel, jasmine

Base notes: musk, benzion, sandalwood

This combination creates a beautiful, long lasting dry-down which offers a vanilla gourmand fragrance experience without being sweet and sticky. It is smooth, clean, fresh, and ideal. Love it!

Although I purchased the 30ml size, I can already tell I will need to order the larger size next time. I am going through this bottle rather quickly; it’s so good!

So, if you are looking for the perfect, complex vanilla, this is it!

Thanks for stopping by!

The summer season is flying by, and I am so ready for fall! I love the fall boots we are seeing for the cool weather season along with the timeless styles and return of color. Our neutral ensembles need a little pop for fall!

Summer nail polish is flying off the shelves, and fall nail polish will be here in a couple of weeks; so stay tuned!

This is the perfect time of year to take advantage of the Nordstrom Sale, which ends August 9. So if you like something, snap it up before it goes back up to full price! Here are my favorites from the sale:

Vintage handbags, and handbag styles from the early 2000’s are hot right now as well as classic bags. Also, the continuation of the anonymous handbag is holding tight. So, look for handbags which are high quality and don’t bear logos. There is no reason to pay for a name which lacks quality. Remember, quality is king!

Stay tuned for fall coverage as we head towards the cooler season!

Is it fall yet? This weather is just too hot! Ugh, anyway, I digress. . .

Since there are fall items starting to appear on store shelves, I am putting together some fall outfits in the hopes of making the season arrive sooner. Please tell me this works! haha

These boots are perfect for the upcoming fall season and they are so comfortable! I can tell they will be easy to wear for walking. Love that!

For a put together, casual fall outfit, this tweed cardigan sweater is ideal. It is easy to wear over a tee and pair with jeans on casual days, or black trousers for a business casual look. It’s a classic piece which is both comfortable and versatile. Love!
