As we welcome in a new season it is usually welcomed with darker clothing and stronger fragrances! I am still in transition from Summer to Autumn and am finding it hard to let go! So that being said here is a look at my two most used fragrances over Summer.
|
L-R: Gucci by Gucci & Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs |
The first fragrance I enjoyed wearing this summer is Daisy Dream eau de toilette by Marc Jacobs, I have never purchased Daisy by Marc Jacobs (the original) but I understand it is a cult classic. I have the 50ml size of this fragrance. I would describe this as a fruity, light fresh scent definitely ideal for summer as it is very refreshing and not cloying like a Vanilla musk kind of fragrance. This fragrance I would say is ideal for daytime wear and isn't in anyway offensive. So you can get an idea of how this perfume smells here are the notes:
Top notes
Blackberry
Grapefruit
Pear
Middle notes
Lychee
Jasmine
Wisteria
Base notes
Coconut
White wood
Musk
The first spritz of this perfume I can smell the Blackberry, Jasmine and Musk the most. I would describe this as a pretty fragrance and definitely a perfume anyone can enjoy.
The second fragrance I have loved this summer is Gucci by Gucci eau de toilette. I have this in the 75ml size bottle. I would describe this as a sensual, feminine fragrance, a very beautiful perfume. This perfume is perfect especially if you wear the original Gucci by Gucci eau de parfum but are looking for a lighter version. This was the first designer fragrance I ever bought and for nostalgic purposes it will quite possibly be one of the fragrances I wear that I will be purchasing again and again.
So you can get more of an idea of what the fragrance is like here are the notes:
Top notes
Guava
Pear
Middle notes
Lily of the valley
Neroli
Tahitian tiare flower
Base notes
Patchouli
Musk
Honey
The first sprits of this perfume you can definitely smell the Pear and Guava, it is a very classy scent, the dry down is warm and floral, unlike cheaper fragrances it doesn't dry down to Musk and Vanilla, although Musk is incorporated into the Base notes I believe that it is a sophisticated addition to this fragrance, a really enjoyable unique scent.
I hope you enjoyed this post about my most used perfumes for this Summer, if there is anything you would like to ask or request just leave me a comment below. xxx
