Spring 2022 fragrances from top left: floral gourmand (I own this and love it) / woody floral / classic floral / fruity floral (I own this and love it) / iconic Chanel N.5 floral (I own this and love it) / sweet floral /

Spring is all about renewal, which means it is time to renew our signature scent! Rose based florals are hotter than hot right now in the world of fragrance. This means we all need to gravitate towards a rose based floral scent; unless of course, you detest rose. If that is the case, Chanel N.5 might be the fragrance for you since the rose is undetectable.

Other than Chanel N.5 edp, the other five fragrances I am showcasing in this post are beautiful florals scents which each have their own personality. Do you like gourmand scents? Are you more into fruity fragrances? Which type of fragrance floats your boat? I have to say, I love a fabulous gourmand or a fruity floral. Those are my two favorites. Of course, I never shy away from a timeless scent from Chanel. I plan on purchasing something new this season, preferably a sweet floral. I already own a fruity floral and a floral gourmand. Love!

Summer 2021 skin care

Summer skin care for summer 2021 from top left: neck cream / face cream / eye cream / body butter / lip sunscreen / body wash / hand cream / facial sunscreen / body sunscreen / body scrub /

It’s time for summer skin care! In addition to my go-to neck cream, face cream, and eye cream, I like to add sunscreen to my summer skin care routine. Of course, sunscreen is something to think about all year long; especially in sunny places like California! That being said, I use heavier sunscreen in the summer months due to all my outdoor activities.

Sunscreen and facial creams are important, but it is equally important to care for your body skin too! I love this hand cream from Colleen Rothschild. It isn’t greasy and works like a charm. I also love her body wash, body scrub, and body butter. These are holy grail body skin care products. Love them!

Lancome Idole L’Intense edp review

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!
