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!

Looking for that perfect fragrance to wear on your next date? Perhaps you need the ideal scent for a wedding; maybe even your wedding?! Well, Estee Lauder has a fabulous new fragrance aptly named “Beautiful Belle.” This floral oriental fragrance was created with a carefree, rule breaking, modern woman in mind who is hopelessly romantic. That’s you right? Of course it is! It’s also the ideal fragrance for a bride, to wear out on a night on the town, or anytime you are in a romantic mood. Love it!

Top notes: Lychee, Rose Petals, Mimosa

Heart/Middle notes: Orange Flower, Gardenia, Tuberose

Base notes: Orris Root, Blush Suede Accord, Marzipan Musk, Ambrox

Isn’t that a fabulous combination of notes? I love fragrances with rose petals, orange flowers, and musk. Musk is one of my favorite base notes, it’s always so smooth and warm! It really creates a beautiful balance in this fragrance. Estee Lauder combines warm top and middle notes with traditionally oriental and woody base notes, which when combined, offer a floriental fragrance experience that lasts throughout the day. Love!

The fragrance experience offers medium complexity which allows you to smell the base notes as the floral fades throughout the day. This allows Estee Lauder Beautiful Belle edp to offer a warm fragrance experience which is ideal in moderate to cool weather. This scent is perfect for fall, winter, and spring temperatures! Since Estee Lauder Beautiful Belle edp offers a medium strength fragrance trail, it can be worn to the office with one spray, and 2-3 sprays on date night, for a wedding, casual days, weekends, and any special event. The edp is long lasting, and will remain active from morning until bedtime. Love that!

Estee Lauder Beautiful Belle edp also will make a fabulous gift for someone you love; especially that bride-to-be on your list! Of course, why not snap up a bottle for yourself? I’m finding myself wearing it on a daily basis. This is a beautiful fragrance!

Stella McCartney POP edp review

stella mccartney pop edp review

Fragrance: c/o Stella McCartney POP edp

Stella McCartney POP eau de parfum is a woody floral scent from famed designer Stella McCartney. POP by Stella McCartney is a warm, medium floral fragrance with a warm, woody base. It is a fabulous fragrance to wear now, and well into the fall season. Love!

Top notes: Tomato Leaves, Violet Leaves, Green Mandarin,

Middle notes: Violet, Tuberose, Plumeria,

Base notes: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musks

Stella McCartney POP edp starts off with a fresh, almost-green scent which is quickly met with the warm, smooth floral scent of violet and tuberose. The plumeria sits softly behind the violet and the tuberose. The floral scent has a slight woody lace throughout the day. After a full day, the florals settle in and you are left with a warm, woody base which is smoothed out by the musk note.

This combination of florals and woods makes POP by Stella McCartney perfect for moderate to cool weather. The scent is warming, yet bold; offering a cozy way to wear florals when the temperatures begin to dip. Love that!

I also would like to give this bottle design a shout out. The bottle evokes a carefree, 60’s vibe which is right in line with our current vintage trend in apparel. I always feel like an outfit is never complete without the right fragrance. POP is easy to wear with fall’s trends, making it the perfect finishing touch to any ensemble this autumn season.

Stella McCartney POP edp can be found online here.

I rate Stella McCartney POP edp five out of five stars! Love it!
