  • My Favorite Spring and Summer Fragrances






    For years and years and years, I have worn one perfume. One perfume followed my transition from an awkward twelve year old to an even more awkward eighteen year old. Funny how that works. However, now that I work at Shoppers, I get exposed to a great deal more fragrances so I can’t be faithful to just a single perfume anymore. Here are some of my favorite scents for Spring and Summer! Spoiler: All of them are floral. Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking.

    Couture Couture by Juicy Couture Eau de Parfum– A sharp oriental floral fragrance

    • Top notes are mandarin orange, African orange flower and grapefruit
    • Middle notes are jasmine, honeysuckle and plum
    • Base notes are amber, vanilla and sandalwood

    Vera Wang Be Jeweled Eau de Parfum-A fruity and sweet floral scent

    • Top notes: red currant, pomegranate and champagne
    • Middle notes: passion fruit, pink honeysuckle and pink peony.
    • Base notes: pink crystal-sugar, musk and Australian sandalwood.

    Valentino Valentina Eau de Toilette– An elegant floral with a hint of sweetness

    • Top notes: bergamot from Calabria and white truffles from Alba.
    • Heart Notes: Amalfi orange blossoms, sweet jasmine, tuberose and wild strawberries
    • Base notes: cedar, vanilla and amber.

    Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet Eau de Toilette– A citrus take on the original Miss Dior fragrance

    • Top notes: silican mandarin, Calabrian bergamot
    • Middle notes: peach and apricot zest, peony and damask rose
    • Base notes: white musk

    P.S. Brownie points to whoever knows what was the perfume I wore for years mentioned above. Everyone should know this.
