lavanilla vanilla grapefruit edp reviewPictured: c/o LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit eau de parfum

One of my favorite fragrance notes is vanilla. So, when I first heard of LaVanila fragrances, I immediately purchased and reviewed their beautiful Vanilla Coconut fragrance for summer. After falling in love with Vanilla Coconut, I was hooked on the entire collection and had to try LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit!

Vanilla Grapefruit is my second fragrance from the LaVanila collection. It has a beautiful fruity gourmand scent which is both refreshingly crisp, and warm. Love that!

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit eau de parfum offers a fruity gourmand combination of fragrance notes including Pink Grapefruit, Lime, Bergamot, Orange, Cedarwood, and Madagascar Vanilla.

This beautiful fragrance offers a warm base of Madagascar Vanilla which offers complex fruit layers on an unique blend of pure essential oils. LaVanila is one of the world’s first healthy fragrances; infusing natural technology from organic sugar cane alcohol; and skin-saving botanicals and antioxidants for a modern twist on the classic art of perfumery. Love!

I love the idea of natural perfume. Not only is the scent pure, real, and not from a lab, it does not leave potentially harmful chemicals on your skin which could be absorbed into your system.

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit edp is long lasting. The fragrance started off with a fruity zing laced in vanilla. As the day wore on, the vanilla lay softly in the background as different fruit notes cycled through detection. At the end of the day, there was a slight fruit scent laced in a woody vanilla base. Perfect fragrance experience for any weather; warm or cold. Love that!

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit edp rates five out of five stars!

LaVanila has a wide range of fragrance products which carry it’s fragrances; complimenting the eau de parfum collection. The collection includes deodorant, roller balls, and body butter.

Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue review

atelier cologne rose anonyme review

Pictured: Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue

Atelier Cologne is one of my favorite fragrance companies; and when it comes to florals, rose is hands-down my favorite floral fragrance note. So, when I spotted Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme, I knew it had to be my new rose-based scent!

Like all Atelier Cologne fragrances, Rose Anonyme is so fresh, it seems as if the fragrance was created and mixed together the same day you spray it on your wrist. No other fragrance company smells this fresh! The perfume concentrate is 18%, which is the reason Rose Anonyme by Atelier Cologne is so luxurious. This concentrate is extremely high for the industry, and allows the fragrance to be long lasting, fresh, and offer a true, complex fragrance experience.

Top notes: Bergamot from Calabria, Ginger from China, Turkish Rose Essence

Middle Notes: Turkish Rose Absolue, Incense from Somalia, Velvet Oud Accord

Base notes: Patchouli rom Indonesia, Papyrus from India, Benzoin from Laos

Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme starts off with a ginger laced scent. After about thirty minutes, the ginger softens and the rose cycles through a soft yet exotic fragrance experience. The patchouli in the base adds a soft yet spicy undertone, which is nothing short of exquisite.

I am in love with Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue, and cannot wait to wear it often. The overall fragrance experience is ideal in warm, hot, and moderate weather. Since the scent is medium, it can be worn in tight quarters such as the office or theater. The complex nature of the scent allows it to be worn for formal events, yet the rose heart, gives the scent daytime appeal. This makes Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue the perfect day-into-evening scent; especially on a summer day!
