Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist is a light, fragrant way to moisturize skin. Instead of slathering on thick body cream or lotion, Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist moisturizes dry skin without leaving a thick film or gooey slick. I have also found that Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist works well on a sunburn; calming angry skin and helping aid the healing process. Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist combines fragrant floral and wood notes of green citrus, spearmint, fresh blossoms, white amber and cedarwood. This makes for a warm floral fragrance experience ideal for moderate to warm weather found in the spring, summer and fall months. 

The formula is lightweight and fast-absorbing. It rejuvenates dry skin and mildly sunburned skin while comforting and soothing. I found it has left my skin with a natural-looking healthy glow. Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist can be found online here and here.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Discover Vulcano pour homme edt is a new flanker fragrance to Dolce & Gabbana’s original Light Blue for men. Named after Vulcano, an Aeoleon Island which is known for its’ mud baths and an active, smoking crater, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Discover Vulcano pour homme eau de toilette offers a classic, masculine fragrance experience ideal for moderate weather.

This heavy, woody eau de toilette for men offers a long-lasting fragrance experience which is perfect for casual and weekend activities; as well as relaxed, evening occasions. Although the top notes offer a slight citrus scent, Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue Discover Vulcano edt offers a woody fragrance experience which originates from its’ base.

Top notes: Lemon, Ginger

Middle notes: Cypress, Lavender

Base notes: Vetyver, Cedarwood

We tested out Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Discover Vulcano pour homme edt on an eighty degree, summer day. The fragrance instantly gave off a woody scent laced with vetyver and light lemon. The woody scent lasted throughout the day while gently fading away into the evening hours. It is ideal for moderate weather during the spring, summer and fall months.

Dolce & Gabbana’s new “Light Blue Escape to Panarea” eau de toilette is a warm, fresh scent which is evocative of summer nights on the Mediterranean. By combining Calabrian Bergamot and orange blossom with a warm musky base, Dolce & Gabbana has recreated the scent of a Southern Italian, Mediterranean evening.

Dolce & Gabbana “Light Blue Escape to Panarea” eau de toilette offers a fresh, warm weather, fruity floral fragrance experience laced in a warm musky base. This combination makes “Light Blue Escape to Panarea” eau de toilette by Dolce & Gabbana ideal for warm summer weather as well as transitioning to the fall season. 

As the days remain warm in early to mid fall, especially here in the San Francisco Bay Area, the fresh floral scent from Dolce & Gabbana “Light Blue Escape to Panarea” eau de toilette works perfectly during the day when temperatures hover in the 70’s and 80’s. The warm musky base is ideal as the sun goes down and temperatures plummet as the fog rolls in from the ocean across the bay. 

Top notes: Calabrian Bergamot, pear

Middle notes: orange blossom, jasmine

Base notes: war musk, Tonka Bean, ambergris, patchouli

Dolce & Gabbana “Light Blue Escape to Panarea” eau de toilette is a beautiful fragrance for transitioning from summer into fall. The collection can be found online here, here and here.
