It has come to my attention that I have perfume I never reviewed on the blog! How did this happen? Never fear, I am going to fix this oversight! You will see me reviewing a few bottles over the course of this summer.

I purchased my first bottle of Hermes 24 Foubourg edp sometime in the 1990s. This is a classic woody floral from a time when leaving a trail was everything. If you use more than one spray, you will leave a trail with this fragrance! So, in modern times, one spray is perfect and makes this timeless fragrance as modern perfume can be. Love that!

Do you love a timeless woody floral? I sure do! Hermes 24 Foubourg edp offers a warm fragrance experience which is long lasting, classic, and comforting. The notes in Hermes 24 Foubourg edp include white flowers, orange blossom, and jasmine along with an amber and vanilla base. The result is outstanding. If you love a warm, woody floral, this eau de parfum is a must-have in your fragrance collection.

As a warm woody floral, I prefer Hermes 24 Foubourg edp in the fall, winter, and spring. But, it does work well on cooler summer days. This is a classic fragrance which can be worn throughout the year, and transcends the test of time and fragrance trends. Love that!

So, if you are looking for the perfect, timeless woody floral, look no further! Hermes 24 Foubourg edp is the perfect investment to wear now and forever. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Chance Chanel Eau Splendide edp review

Chanel has a fabulous new fragrance, and I am here for it! I haven’t worn a fruity floral perfume in quite some time, so this new fragrance one from Chanel is incredibly amazing to have been able to capture my attention. Love!

Chanel Chance Eau Splendide edp is a not-too-sweet fruity floral with top notes of raspberry, rose and violet. The heart of the fragrance is rose geranium with a base of powdery iris, musk and cedar. I always love how smooth a fragrance is with musk as a base. It balances the fruit and florals, keeping them from getting sticky sweet. This is a beautiful blend of notes, balanced perfectly. I am in love!

If you are looking for the perfect warm weather fragrance, or a fabulous gift, you have found the perfect eau de parfum! I plan to wear Chanel Chance Eau Splendide edp everyday this spring and summer. Love it!

Diptyque Citronnelle summer body spray review

diptyque citronelle candle and body spray review

OK, raise your hand if you get eaten alive by bugs. My hand is way up! I cannot tell you how annoying it is to be the magnet of a group for mosquitoes and more.

I don’t mind spraying myself with bug spray if I am going camping or hiking, but if I am eating al fresco or going to an outdoor event, I don’t want to be smelly and sticky! Yuck! So, while I love using my bug repellant bracelets for hiking and camping, I want to use something more discreet for a party, patio dining, and the like.

So, when I spotted this Citronelle summer body spray from Diptyque, I was thrilled! It is a non-sticky, perfume-like bug spray! Love that! I can apply it just like I would any EDT or EDP and it works like a charm. I feel like this summer body spray works even better than just putting a candle on the table.

Speaking of candles, Diptyque makes a Citronelle candle too! Love it! Of course, it has the sweet smell of citronella but it looks quite chic in comparison to the typical bug repelling candle. It really does work too. Yay!

In case you are wondering what the summer body spray smells like, well, it smells like a floral citronella candle. It smells a thousand times better than bug spray, in my opinion. That being said, people will guess what you are wearing; not in a bad way. It does smell good! After all, it is Diptyque!

I will rate Diptyque Citronelle summer body spray five out of five stars! Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
