Fall is here, which means we all want a little cozy in our lives. It’s the season of warm tea, blankets on the sofa, and warm fragrances which wrap us up in a warm scent experience. Love the fall season!

Warm fragrances give us comfort and warmth as temperatures cool down, so, it’s no wonder we gravitate towards woody scents, gourmands, vanilla fragrances, and warm florals. Crisp scents have been left behind until next spring. Bring on heavier perfumes! It’s cozy time!

I own all of the fragrances shown above, so you can count on me to tell you they are warm, cozy, and fabulous. The two scents I find myself reaching for the most include the Chanel edp and Guilty Vanilla. Chanel’s edp is perfect for evening and weekends while Guilty Vanilla is ideal for the office, theater, and anytime you want an understated yet fabulous fragrance. Of course, the other four fragrances are beautiful too, I just reach for the Chanel and Guilty Vanilla the most often.

I hope you enjoy these cozy fragrances for the fall season!

Dior Ruban nail polish review

dior ruban nail polish review classic pink nail polish

How in the world have I not review Dior Ruban yet?!?! Will wonders never cease! Ah, anyway, here we go!

Pink nail polish is hotter than hot right now, despite the fact that it is also a timeless nail polish color. Pink nail polish is fabulous because it’s understated, classic, office-appropriate, and matches any outfit or occasion. Love that!

I feel like everyone should have one, fabulous pink nail polish in their wardrobe. Ruban might be it! This is a color which has become a part of Dior’s core nail polish collection. It seems to always be in stock and get restocked. As we all know, seasonal nail polish colors have been selling out within a day to a couple of weeks lately. So, it is refreshing when a beautiful color can actually be found in stock. Imagine that!

Dior Ruban nail polish is a classic pink nail color with slight sparkles. I love how the sparkles add dimension yet keep the polish looking timeless. I tested out Dior Ruban nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. It went on smooth without streaking and the finish is a solid, slightly sparkling pink. Love!

So, if you are looking for the perfect pink nail polish, Dior Ruban nail polish is your pink! Love it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp review

Chanel has given us a warm, new fruity floral fragrance just in time for the fall season, and I love it! Normally, I shy away from scents which contain jasmine, but this time, Chanel has done a good job of masking the jasmine and letting other fragrance notes have their moment. Love that!

Here are the fragrance notes from Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp:

  • Top Notes: lychee, grapefruit
  • Middle Notes: rose, jasmine
  • Base Notes: amber, patchouli, vanilla, vetiver

Ah, vetiver! This is one of those notes which always signal to me that I will love the scent. Back in the 1990s, I was a huge Gio de Giorgio Armani fan, and it had a beautiful vetiver scent. Oh how I miss that fragrance! But, I digress. . . Chanel has given us a fabulous, modern scent with a slight vetiver base and it is downright fabulous.

Chanel hit a homerun with this new eau de parfum. The florals are warm, the woody base is smooth, and the fruit adds a little somethin’ somethin’ which makes the overall combo warm, slightly sweet, and cozy. When I say cozy, I mean Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp will be perfect for fall and winter. I love a warm fragrance experience on foggy days and in cooler temperatures.

I wish you could smell this through the computer screen. I know you would love it! The warm floral scent is dominant with a smooth, woody base balancing out the florals. The fruity portion is very slight, and it too balances out the florals. It’s chemistry perfection. This is an eau de parfum I plan to wear very often. I am in love!

So, if you are looking for the perfect edp to wear now and throughout the fall and winter seasons, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp is the scent for you!

Thanks for stopping by!
