In the summertime, I love wearing fragrances which are fresh, and light. Hermes Eau de Mandarine Ambree eau de cologne is exactly that; a light and refreshing scent perfect for hot summer days. Love!

The combination of mandarin, and amber, is so fresh; it seems as if this fragrance was concocted right in front of you. The scent is that fresh. I’ve decided Hermes used magic to bottle this scent! How else can it be so fresh? It’s amazing!

I have only worn one of the perfumes by Hermes in the past; 24 Faubourg. This scent is heavy, and complex. So I was pleasantly surprised to find Hermes Eau de Mandarine Ambree eau de cologne to be simple and clean. While a complex fragrance is fabulous in cold weather, when you need the cycles throughout the day, a simple and clean cologne is best suited for the days of summer.

Fragrance notes: Mandarin, Passion Fruit, Amber

Normally Amber, as a main note in a fragrance, is associated with cooler weather fragrances, and heavier scents. It is incredible that when mixed with Mandarin and Passion Fruit, it smooths out the fruity notes, instead of adding warmth. This is definitely the perfect combination for a citrus fragrance. Love!

With all of the above average temperatures we are experiencing this summer, Hermes Eau de Mandarine Ambree eau de cologne is perfect to wear right now, and through the summer months. Everyday has been above ninety degrees, and this fragrance has been refreshing, clean, and downright perfect. I am looking forward to wearing Eau de Mandarin Ambree by Hermes for the remainder of the summer.

I rate this fragrance five out of five stars!

Korress Velvet Orris Violet White Pepper edt review

Kores Velvet Orris Violet White Pepper EDT

Korress Velvet Orris Violet White Pepper EDT is the new fruity floral fragrance from Korress. This warm, and velvety sweet scent offers a fresh, fruity top which cycles into a warm, floral heart and base. Love it!

Top Notes: Blackcurrent, Cranberry, White Peppercorn

Middle Notes: Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Caviar

Base Notes: Orris Wood, Dry Amber, Musk, Patchouli, Cashmere Wood

It is rare to find a complex fragrance which is formulated correctly. Korress Velvet Orris Violet White Peppers edt is both complex, and beautiful. It offers a fruity top which is laced in a slight, powdery scent. As the day progresses, Korress Velvet Orris Violet White Powder edt cycles through fruity, floral, and woody scents. At the end of the day, the warm, woody base creates a blanket of warmth which is soothing, smooth, and rich.

Although the eau de toilette is beautiful on it’s own, Korress also offers a shower gel, and a creamy body milk to both complement, and layer the Velvet Orris Violet White Pepper scent.

The overall fragrance experience from Korress Velvet Orris Violet White Pepper edt is medium strength. This scent can easily be worn to the office, the theater, dinner, and casual, weekend activities. It is an easy to wear, everyday fragrance.

The ingredients are natural too! I love knowing that when I spray on a Korres edt, the liquid being absorbed into my skin is made from natural ingredients. After all, who wants their skin absorbing chemicals? Not me!

I am looking forward to wearing this fragrance throughout the year. The combination of fruits, florals, and a woody base, makes Koress Velvet Orris Violet White Pepper edt transcend season. Love that!

You can find the eau de toilette online here. The shower gel is online here, and the body milk can be found here.


Nautica Voyage Sport edt for men review

Pictured: c/o Nautica Voyage Sport EDT for men

Nautica Voyage Sport EDT is a new flanker fragrance to popular men’s fragrance Nautica Voyage EDT. This fresh take on Voyage by Nautica is a nautical, woody scent which offers an ideal fragrance experience for men on warm summer days. Love that!

The zesty, green top, and middle notes, combine with the woody, musky base to create a nautical fragrance experience with a slightly warm, woody base. It is ideal to wear throughout the summer on a daily basis. Nautica Voyage Sport EDT is light enough to wear to the office, and sporty enough for weekend activities. It is quite versatile!

Although most eau de toilette’s disappear after four to six hours, Nautica Voyage Sport EDT lasts throughout the day. It is long-lasting, and complex; a joy to wear throughout the day! My husband loves it! Of course, I like it on him 😉

 Top notes: sea spray accord, sea salt, coriander

Middle (heart) notes: citrus zest, geranium, green peppercorn, apple, palm leaves

Base notes: Brazil wood, musk, patchouli, vetiver

If you are looking for a fabulous gift for Father’s Day, an upcoming birthday, or late graduation gift, Nautica Voyage Sport EDT is the perfect choice! This is also a great gift idea to keep in mind for the holiday season later this year 😉

Hopefully Nautica will come out with more products in the Voyage Sport scent. My husband would love to see an after-shave, shower gel, and travel size spray. Perhaps a gift set will come out for the holiday season! Fingers crossed 😉

 Nautica Voyage Sport EDT can be found online here.
