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!

gucci bamboo edp review

Pictured: c/o Gucci Bamboo eau de parfum / travel size purse spray

Gucci Bamboo edp is the hot new fragrance from iconic design house Gucci. This sweet floral fragrance is feminine, modern, and complex. Although the scent does not resemble actual bamboo, as the name suggests, the overall fragrance experience is sweet; yet balanced out by the sandalwood and amber base. Love!

Bamboo by Gucci has a long lasting fragrance experience which is complex. The slightly fruity top, layered with a hearty, warm and sweet floral heart, anchored by a woody base, gives this perfume the perfect balance between woods, and florals. Love that!

Top notes: Italian Bergamot, Orange Blossom

Middle notes (heart): Casablanca Lily, Ylang-Ylang

Base notes: Sandalwood, Tahitian Vanilla, Amber

Gucci Bamboo is the perfect fragrance for the spring and summer seasons. The combination of woods, and florals, lends well to both moderate, and hot temperatures. The overall fragrance experience is medium strength; which allows Gucci Bamboo edp to be appropriate for the office, luncheons, evening occasions, and weekends.

If you are looking for the perfect summer birthday gift, or a graduation present, Gucci Bamboo edp is a great option! The gift set can be found online here. The perfume is available in a variety of sizes, as well as a travel size. She will love it!

I absolutely love the travel size of Gucci Bamboo eau de parfum. It is perfect for my carry-on when I am traveling by air, and it is also ideal for slipping into a weekend bag for a short road trip. Not only is it the perfect, TSA approved size, the packaging is beautiful! The travel size is pictured above with a full bottle, don’t you just love the pretty bamboo styling! I love it! I cannot wait to keep this bottle with me for all of my upcoming summer trips; as well as fashion week in September! It’s perfection.
