What Scent Are You Wearing?

May 11th, 2011 by Karen 45 Comments

Before I left home this morning I spritzed on some Burberry Summer for Women Eau de Toilette ($79), a limited edition fruity green floral available now at select department stores.

Isn’t the bottle gorgeous? There’s not much to it, but I love the way it looks in the light.

Officially, the fragrance profile includes…

  • Top notes: pomegranate, orange, mandarin and green leaf
  • Middle notes: rose, freesia and lily of the valley
  • Base notes: cedar wood, sandal wood and white musk

Because of the citrus and freesia notes in this, it totally remind me of another one of my Burberry faves, Brit Sheer. Both scents last all day on me, too.

What scent are you wearing today? When I asked him, El Hub’s answer was “I’m wearing Speed Stick in Ocean Surf.” 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. I still have to tell you what happened with Urban Decay today, but right now I’m plum tuckered out. I’m going to try to catch some Z’s before they all get away… Sleep well, beautiful (you too, Tabs).

    I was thrilled to find that Whole Foods is now carrying the Pacifica Take Me There Trios in a couple of fragrances, the Guava and the Gardenia, so, of course I picked up both! Today I’m wearing the Guava and loving it!

    I wear Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf as if I get paid to it. I’ve been wearing it for about 3 years. Sometimes I dip off and go for Stella by Stella McCartney, but I always come back to Flowerbomb. I wear it and leave people going “omg what is that? It’s amazing!”. 🙂

    I do long for my Coco Mademoiselle though… hehe

    I’m very sensitive to scents and tend to get headaches so I don’t wear perfume very often, but when I do, I wear Chanel #5 or Pink Sugar. They are two perfumes that are radically different, but my mom always wore Chanel when I was young so now I love the scent. Do a lot of women wear perfumes that remind them of their mother?

    I am wearing Bulgari’s Mon Jasmin Noir, which I got as a sample in this month’s Birchbox. It’s nice but I think it is a little too heavy for me in general (and much too heavy for the summer).

    I’m wearing Nina Ricci’s signature perfume. It’s shape resembles an apple and the way I would describe it is a light flloral/fruity mixture. It’s simple and lovely. Perfect for spring. I kind of alternate between that fragrance and Jessica Simpsons ‘Fancy’ perfume- I realize that it is a winter/autumn scent, but I just love the smell so much.

    For summer, I’m planning to use my Shakira perfume that I recently got for christmas.
