Spring Fragrance: Satin Rose de Mai from Victoria's Secret
Saturday, May 1, 2010
I love the warm, luxurious perfumes that come out in the winter months, but there's something about spring fragrances that makes me so happy. As a side note, I didn't get into wearing perfume until this past year. I never realized how great it can make you feel. I really notice a slight improvement in my mood when I wear a fragrance, though, and having the right one makes all the difference.
The first I fell in love with is by Victoria's Secret. It's part of their Parfums Intimes collection, and it's called Satin Rose de Mai.
I should mention that I don't love it QUITE as much as I did when I first smelled it, but it's a favorite nonetheless. And what says "spring" better than rose? It's a lovely blend of floral and sweetness. If it were purely "OH MY GOSH rose", I don't think I could pull it off, but it's not. The floral is off-set with notes of yummy honeysuckle, grapefruit, and mandarin.
Now, I've heard some people refer to this type of scent as "grandma"- I totally disagree! I think it's both lovely and wearable. It's not a particularly light perfume, though, so one or two sprays is enough for me.
The Parfums Intimes collection is inspired by "the luxurious fabrics for lingerie". There are five other scents: Chiffon (The newest addition- peony freesia), Velvet (amber blackberry), Cashmere (vanilla jasmine), Silk (mandarin santal), and Lace (orange flower). The only one I own is Satin, but I love Velvet for winter months especially.
What scents do you like for spring? Or do you wear one favorite all year round?
