Do you love warm, woody florals? I do! I was so excited when I learned Lancome had released a new woody floral. This beautiful fragrance, Lancome Idole L’Intense edp, is a warm, woody floral with a smooth base. It has a classic vibe, and seasonless scent. Love that!

I am excited about Lancome Idole L’Intense edp since it is a woody floral we can all wear now, during the cold winter months. It’s a warm fragrance, which is ideal on a cool day. Due to the jasmine and rose top notes, this woody floral is a versatile fragrance which will enable it to also be worn during moderate and warm temperatures. I would wear it up to about 85 degrees. After 85 degrees, I prefer to move into nautical, and fruity scents which only work on hot days. Love!

Top notes: Sensual Isparta Rose, Fresh Jasmine

Middle notes: Warm Musks

Base notes: Cedar, Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla

After about one minute, Lancome Idole L’Intense edp settles into a warm, musky floral with a slight vanilla and wood scent. As the day progresses, it cycles through a warm, musky fragrance experience which is smooth and rich. I love the lingering cedar and vanilla laced into the musk at the end of the day. The edp formula is long lasting, so it will not need to be reapplied during the day. You can spray it on at 7am and still enjoy it at 10pm.

If you love a good woody floral, this is your new scent! It will also make a fabulous gift. Lancome offers several gift box choices which are perfect for any holiday during the year. I highly recommend trying this scent. I rate it five out of five stars! Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

valentines day gift ideas 2021

Valentine’s Day gift ideas from top left: gemstone  beaded bracelet (only $25 and avl in other gems!) (great for stacking!) / heart layered necklace (under $100) / spring nail polish (hot IT color) / small black baguette bag (under $300) (hot IT bag) / lipstick set / heart sneakers (hot designer, under $200) / traditional candy box (under $100) /

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, this means we need to think about the perfect gift! I love to give my mom, husband, and kids gifts for Valentine’s Day. I feel like its a great day to celebrate everyone we love. A heart shaped box of chocolates is ideal for everyone on your Valentine’s list. I mean, very few people on this planet dislike chocolate. It’s so yummy!

Jewelry and fabulous nail polish are also great gifts for mom, and daughters teenage years and above. I also love these fabulous sneakers! Hint-if my hubby is reading this! This IT bag under $300 is an amazing choice as well.

Of course, along with chocolate, jewelry is a traditional and fabulous gift idea. I’m loving these stacking bracelets made from genuine gemstones. Can you believe they are only $25? That is a great price; plus they are handmade by a local San Jose, Mother/Daughter design team. At this price, you can buy two, three, or even four as a gift! Love that!
