Spring Scents
I’m a little obsessed with all things spring right now and of course smells or scents fall in that category. Here are a few I’m swooning over!
PACIFICA French Lilac Spray Perfume ($22/1oz @ dermstore.com) – florals can be fierce and this one sure is! Feel the season with a blend of lilac, magnolia leaves, heliotrope, ylang ylang, hyacinth and nectarine. And you can’t beat this price!
BANANA REPUBLIC Wildbloom Eau de Parfum Natural Spray ($48/1.7oz @ Banana Republic stores nationwide) – Classified as a Floral Fruity Chypre scent for the ever-so-confident reader that we know reads Cybelesays.com, this one combines guava, pear, watery hydrangea, blue orchid on a base of patchouli and sandalwood. A great evening scent and will leave people in your wake wonder just what the sexy scent is.
ATELIER COLOGNE in Orange Sanguine Cologne Absolue ($50/1oz and $145/6.7oz @ neimanmarcus.com) – are you a citrus girl at heart? Then you might want to give this one a whiff. The concentrated formula has top notes of blood orange and bitter orange, middle notes of jasmine, geranium from South Africa on a base of amber woods, tonka beans and sandalwood.

I love all the notes in the Banana republic perfume except the patchouli. I wonder how strong that note happens to be.

Hey Phyrra - actually patchouli is a very common base. It is not strong at all when it is used as a base o in combo with others like amber and vanilla. Try this one next time you find yourself in one of their stores!
