“A woman’s perfume tells more about her than her handwriting” -Christian Dior

 

Better late than never is how I choose to describe this article. Yes I realize, most writers have their summer scent list in by April. I understand this is almost the middle of summer, to speak about my Olfactory Nirvana. I apologize in advance and will aim to do better with the fall list.

 

Perfume choices vary from woman to woman. Different scents offer different results, depending on the individual’s body chemistry. It is better to visit the perfume counter ask for a sample, before you commit to the purchase. This is usually a safer and more cost effective method. The scent may smell good to you in the store or on the pages of a magazine, but the real test is, will it smell good on you?

 

So if you’re like me and you waited this long to find your summer scent(s), below I have suggested scents and reasonable priced websites, where they can be purchased….if you don’t want to pay department store prices:

 

J’adore– Infused with Ylang-Ylang Essence, Damascena Rose Essence, Samblac Jasmine Absolute. J’adore is a true blend of femininity, wealth and sensuality.

 

Philosophy’s Field Of Flowers – One whiff of this scent, reminds you of all that is perfect in the world. Infused with a base of America Peony, Mandarin Honeysuckle and Satin Woods. Field of Flowers is sure to strike, remembrance of joy and purity, allowing the world to be viewed through rose colored glasses, if only just for a moment.

 

Ralph Lauren Romance Summer– Allow yourself to bask is summer’s unforgettable ambiance. Ingrained with mandarin, guava, jasmine, coconut water and vanilla. This fragrance is both unforgettable and romantic.

 

Balenciaga L’Eau– Classic and chick… this fragrance is timeless. This is a girlish combination of rose, violet, blackberry and patchouli. It offers a soft lingering scent in the air even after you have gone.

 

J’Adore Summer- I am a huge Dior fan when it comes to fragrances. This flirty fragrance was first introduced in 2004. J’Adore’s summer fragrance is a perfect blend of champaca flower, mandarin, crystallized orchid, jasmine, muguet, violet Damascus plum, amaranth wood and blackberry musk.
