Oh Coco, What Would I Do Without You, Mademoiselle?

coco-mademoiselle-twist-and-spray.jpg

I’ve always had a thing for classic trends, never falling trap to what’s “in”. I’d say that I’m pretty thankful for this - I can wear outfits that have been sitting in my closet for the last 5 years and rediscover them again while not looking dated. The same definitely goes for makeup and perfumes.

While I was working at the beauty counters at Macy’s oh-so-long ago, I had the opportunity to sniff every fragrance bottle that came my way. Some I hated, some surprised me, and some I absolutely loved.

And as a girl who loves Chanel, it’s no wonder that the one bottle I came back to sniff over and over again was Coco Mademoiselle. You might be wondering why a 22-year-old would be into such a lady-like (but not old-lady or stuffy) scent. The answer to that is easy - the wonderful floral combined with fresh citrus notes makes it perfect for the classic woman, no matter what her age is.  I loved it as a young 20-something and I still love it is a near 30-something (yikes!)

To this day, I still don’t have a bottle of Coco Mademoiselle to call my very own, but that might all change soon with their new Eau de Parfum Twist & Spray.  It’s uber chic while travel-friendly - I can pull it out of my bag, give me wrists a little spritz and be on my way.  I can’t wait until this appears on counters next month!

Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Twist & Spray includes a while pearlized spray bottle along with 2 refills for $85 US.  Stop by your nearest Chanel fragrance counter in September to pick one up for yourself.  I know I’ll be putting this on my wish list from The Boyfriend  ;)

Oh, Miss Vera!

I’ve been wearing Vera Wang Parfum all day and it’s just one of those scents that are so classic, you can wear forever. When I first put a couple of dabs of the parfum on my wrists and behind my earlobes, it reminded me of Lancôme’s Trésor at first scent - very romantic with beautiful floral notes.

Vera Wang Parfum is definitely a modern, sensual, and romantic scent - a classic without smelling like your grandmother’s perfume. It has notes of rose, cala lily, and mandarin flowers blended with gardenia (my favorite!), lotus, iris, and white stephanotis, then wrapped in sheer musk, white wood, and floral nectar. The combination is a beautiful blend that I would love to wear as an everyday scent but would save it for that special occassion where you want to feel romantic and sexy.

The Eau de Parfum Spray starts at $67 US and if you’re starting to think about the holidays already, I recommend this for everyone! Just pair the scent with the Moisturizing Body Shimmer ($50 US) and your friends and family will love you for it!
