Laura Mercier has a new fragrance for the fall season which has been added to her line of body products this month; the new scent is warm “Ambre Vanille!” Ambre Vanille is perfect for the fall season as it combines warm woods, florals and sweet vanilla to create a warm and cozy fragrance expereience for the moderate to cool weather found in autumn. Ambre Vanille by Laura Mercier also happens to contain Fall’s ultimate “HipNote” of sandalwood. Love this!
Top notes: tangerine, coconut, almond

Middle notes: tiger orchid, milk flower, helitrope

Base notes: vanilla beans, brown sugar, sandalwood

Laura Mercier’s new fragrance Ambre Vanille is available at Sephora.com in a honey bath soap at $40, a bath scrub priced at $46 and a body cream priced at $55.
I tested out the Body Cream and it was A-MA-ZING! As is always the case with Laura Mercier’s body cream, the Ambre Vanille body cream is moisturing without leaving a greasy film and locks in your skin’s moisture. As someone who has sworn by Laura Mercie’s body creams for the past ten years, I am in love with this new scent! Ambre Vanille is a must try.
I rate Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanille body cream five out of five stars!

Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanille can be found online at Sephora.com and at Laura Mercier counters.

Sandalwood is the “IT” fragrance note for the fall season

 in Beauty / Fragrance / Trends  tagged fall 2012 / hipnote / trufragrance by

The “IT” fragrance note for the fall 2012 season, or HipNote, has been declared by Tru Fragrance. Sandalwood, the ultimate fragrance note for the fall 2012 season, is a warm and elegant fragrance note which is normally found as a base note; and sometimes as the heart of a fragrance.

Sandalwood is also right in line with the current fashion trends from the runways and the streets. As fashion becomes more structured, clean and elegant as we move info fall, it is only natural that our fragrance would follow suit.

Sandalwood happens to be one of the most valuable, oldest and most expensive fragrance notes out there. The natural oil from sandalwood, as well as the synthetic versions used in fragrance, create a warm, rich fragrance experience which is not only perfect for the cool weather found during the fall months, it is luxurious and adds the perfect finishing touch to a fall 2012 ensemble. After all, you are never fully dressed without fragrance ;- )

Sandalwood is also a popular fragrance note for men’s fragrances and shaving products. This HipNote can be warm and masculine when mixed with other woods as well as aquatic notes or leathery fragrance notes.

Home fragrance will also enjoy sandalwood as the ultimate HipNote for the fall 2012 season. Sandalwood based candles and other home fragrances create a warm and inviting environment in your home which is perfect for cool fall days and nights; and very cozy for when the fog rolls in from the bay. Love that!

We found a few amazing fragrances online which contain sandalwood and included them in this article. These sandalwood scents will give you that warm, luxurious fragrance experience for the fall 2012 season. Hope you love them! Happy shopping and stay fabulous
