An Embracing Scent

If a perfume is universal in the sense of 'suits all anytime and anywhere', then it is this.

A fantastic fragrance that is both sensual, playful, mystic, innocent, elegant, alluring and pleasant.

A so called masterpiece.

 

 

Tocade from Rochas, created 1994

 

The bottle has a playful design that perfectly completes this multifaceted oriental floral fragrance.

 

The refreshing opening with green notes, bergamot and geranium turns into a refined and elegant bouquet

of jasmine, orris, magnolia, orchids and roses.

When the sweatness from the flowers slowly eases, a lingering warm soft and powdery scent of vanilla with a touch of fresch cedar and rich and deep amber unfolds.

 

Calm and embracing. 

 

 

 Precious drops.

A gift to me.

 

 



An Uplifting Spring Scent

The scent of Cherry Blossom welcomes spring.

The delicate elegant flowers leave a fragrance of light and fresh sweetness. 

Cherry Blossom from L'Occitane is a fragrance for spring.

This green and soft floral opens like a breeze of fresh blooming spring with freesia and cherry.

Cherry Blossom and Lily of the Valley give the scent an uplifting feeling of youth and revivification.

The touch of bitterness from rosetree and the softness and

 warm from amber and musk leave a scent which is clean and very feminine.

A fragrance that is easy to wear.



A Scent of Spring

Spring is here. The light, the fresh rain and the smell from the soil and the sprouting vegetation feel like a promise of something new. 

Strange and wonderful.

It's time to take out the spring fragrances from the drawer!

Blush by Marc Jacobs

The top note bursts of sweetness from peach and jasmine and acidity from bergamot. 

Soon it marries with honeysuckle, orange flower, freesia and jasmine to a fresh and crispy cascade of flowers. 

This unite with the clean and creamy scent of sandalwood and musk to this nude, innocent and feminine fragrance.

It feels youthfully sophisticated.

Like spring.

This fragrance is unfortunately discontinued but you can find it on ebay and amazon.

A scent of easygoing extravagance

It is described as oriental spicy but is often perceived as oriental fruity. This fragrance was created in 1984 inspired by Coco Chanels apartment on 31, Rue Cambon.

It opens with notes of jasmine and orange. Then more sweet flowers flow for a while before the soft tempting sweetness of amber, chocolate and leather takes over. It is a warm, elegant and luxurious perfume that inspires a feeling of being pleasantly satisfied.

'Coco', seductive but lighthearted.

A gourmand fragrance

Fragrances are a luxury that is easy to indulge oneself in. For those who feel that perfumes plays a fairly important part in their life, the process to choose the fragrance for the day, is something to respect. Scents affects our senses and therefore our feelings.
I have to admit that my perfume collection is quite big. I have fragrances for every season and every occasion. I always keep the original box so when not in use, the fragrance goes back into it's box and in a drawer.
To choose the fragrance for the day gives me a pleasant feeling. Both when I look at the bottle and I see the colours and the shape, as when I smell the perfume.

The scent opens with a little bitter almond and citrus note to get into an intense sweetness of jasmine and heliotrope. It smells like a pastry made with marzipan and sweet fruit. It smoothes down to a warm, sweet and powdery vanilla scent that stays for hours. On my skin about 10 hours!

Heliotrope by ETRO is for a woman who wants to feel sensual!
