Narciso Rodriguez for her Eau de Parfum ($124), The Body shop Atlas mountain increased Body Oil, as well as Mixologie ($99)
Here in new York City, the weather condition has officially damaged out of what seemed to be a neverending chilly snap, as well as I am loving it. The evenings as well as early mornings can still be a bit cold and, much to my mom’s chagrin, some parts of the specify are still getting snow days! however that’s method up in the Adirondacks. I’m additional pleased to be downstate at the moment dousing myself in these three floral, feminine scents.

These have been putting a bit additional spring in my step because before the weather condition got warm.

The very first one is…

Narciso Rodriguez for her Eau de Parfum ( $97 for 1.6 oz., or $124 for a 3-oz. bottle)

I’m a sucker for packaging, as well as this bottle is whatever my bit heart (or ought to I state my eyes?) desires. like the scent itself, it’s feminine, it’s pink, it’s delicate — whatever I secretly like while trying to keep a hardcore princess persona.

Also, can we talk about this bottle? As somebody trying to broaden her style into much more of a advanced look, this bottle might not be better. It feels heavy in my hand, as well as that gorgeous creamy pale pink? That’s the bottle, not the liquid.

I am mildly consumed with the bottle… .

As for the fragrance, the brand explains it like this: “Radiant notes of increased petals, iris, as well as hints of amber, the result is a pure fragrance of soft florals as well as powdered musc.” The only disagreement I have keeping that is the spelling of musk. The result is a soft, ultra-feminine fragrance that lingers on my skin as well as clothes as well as type of makes me feel like a woodland creature.

And my second scent is…

The Body shop Atlas mountain increased Perfume Oil (available in choose stores)

So small as well as perfect
I used the scent formerly understood as Moroccan increased by The Body shop for a long time, however the last time I went to stock up, I was told that they altered the name (but not the formula). now it’s Atlas mountain Rose, as well as it’s part of their Scents of The world collection.

This body oil is the ideal citrus-based scent for summer, with top notes of citrus as well as cassis buds, middle notes of roses as well as spices, as well as base notes of amber as well as musk, as well as it lingers on my skin around four hours.

The applicator is great, too. Not precisely a dropper, the bit plastic stick is fantastic for just running over your wrist as well as pulse points.

Unfortunately, I can’t discover it on the site best now, however I got it on sale for around $8 in an actual Body shop store. I have a feeling they may be discontinuing it.

And lastly…

These Mixologie Body Oils ($19 each)

A full spectrum of moisturizing, mixable, layerable body oils
These may be cheating a little, however I count them as one scent because, well…you mix them together!

Not all of them at the exact same time, however two or more.

They’re the Mixologie Blendable Body Oils, as well as they are available in very practical bit rollerballs that are implied to be layered together to produce different signature scents.

The total collection includes a number of suggested “recipes” you can wear, depending upon exactly how you’re feeling, however you can always “go with the flow,” as the business puts it, as well as devise your own recipes (here’s a full breakdown of the different scents).

My preferred “recipe” so far
All you do is layer “splashes” of the oils, as well as a single sprinkle is a full circular “O” shape, so to blend the fragrances, you just layer the splashes over each other. Easy.

Tender: a fruity concoction featuring notes of sugar dusted black raspberries as well as Sicilian lemon, complemented with lavender
I’ve mainly been complying with the recipes so far, with my favorites being “Extra Dirty” as well as “Stir Crazy.”

Mixing these oils, by the way, has been an incredibly fascinating experiment. The scents typically have the common notes that you discover in daily perfumes, as well as mixing them has been a great deal of fun.

The scents don’t last as well long, however I keep coming up with somewhat different concotions all the time. Also, the oils are all alcohol free, so they aren’t drying at all. I really believe they’re rather moisturizing.

So there are my picks for my finest spring/summer scents so far.
