Ah! The sweet smell of fall--the pumpkin spiced lattes, crisp air, roasted marshmallows and apple cider. Best of all, it is the perfect season to unleash your incredible palette of womanly scents. While the light and airy feel of body sprays and oils suit the summer season best, there’s nothing better than a long-lasting perfume for the fall. And, you can never have too much of the right perfume. After all, New York City public transportation can get a tad bit smelly, why not lighten the mood, literally? Here’s the rundown on seven enticing scents you must get your hands on for Fall 2013.
See by Chloe Paint A Scent:
This floral fruity fragrance embodies femininity at its best while grazing the fine line of the masculine codes. We all have that “inner man” in us! While capturing the soft and delicate feel of a woman, it also pays homage to the strong personality of the Chloé woman. The fruity and floral fusion is achieved by combining hints of jasmine and ylang ylang, blending that into the vanilla musk, and finishing with juicy bergamot and apples. This one is perfect for those looking for the fruity smells of the summer with more longevity.
BOSS JOUR Pour Femme:
The milky-white fragrance was created to show three faces of a woman: inspiration, composure and ease (we make it look too simple). The “inspiration” comes from a rich bouquet of white flowers, including flowers of freesia, lily of the valley and honeysuckle celebrating the “femininity and beautiful diversity of life of every woman.” The “composure” is the masculine part of the scent that includes accords of white birch and creamy amber. The “ease” is described with a little bit of lime and grapefruit accents that bring this fragrance to life effortlessly. Wow, can I get a high five for being a woman?!
The perfume comes as 50 and 75 ml EDP, accompanied by perfumed body care lotion and perfumed shower gel 200 ml. And to top it all off, the face of the new edition Boss Jour Pour Femme is Gwyneth Paltrow.
Eau de Lacoste Pour Femme:
Eau de Lacoste is a new feminine fragrance, the equivalent of the L.12.12 men's fragrance collection. This rich fragrance includes scents of white flowers and the odor of a clean white cotton shirt. Think of a better and more unique version to the “cotton linen” smell. It is made of notes of white pineapple, mandarin and bergamot at the top; Sambac jasmine, orange blossom and pineapple blossom in the heart, and sandalwood, peru balsam, vetiver and vanilla in the base. Mmm, mmm good!
Viva La Juicy Noir:
Juicy Couture has created an enticing rendition of the original best-selling fragrance: Viva la Juicy Noir. This fragrance embodies the badass in all of us. It’s winter time! The clothing gets a bit darker, the eyes get a bit smokier and the inner rebel comes to life. This rich interpretation of the signature scent highlights the succulent ripe berry notes and gourmand accents, while adding sweet honeysuckle for the “juice” and a sultry hint of sandalwood for the “rebel”. Although this scent may be a little heavier than the previous ones, it’s definitely sultry enough for a night out….or in.
Dolce & Gabbana The One for Women 2014:
“Like the woman that wears it, the strength and uniqueness of Dolce&Gabbana The One fragrance comes from contrast. Used to adorn pulse points or misted into the air to fall in a scented aura, The One is a modern ‘floriental’ eau de parfum combining contemporary fruit ingredients with the perfumer’s classic palette of white flowers.”
After adding a little bit of zesty bergamot and mandarin, this scent was then combined with juicy lychee and peach. The heart of the fragrance holds the timeless scent of the Madonna lily with its intensity and enveloping femininity. The deep base of rich vanilla, ambery notes and smooth musk allow the scent to have a lingering effect.
Creed Les Royales Exclusives Collection, Sublime Vanille:
You guessed it… This one is all about the Vanilla.
Rich with fine vanilla from climbing orchids of Tahiti and heady bourbon of South America, this fragrance is embracingly luscious. The middle note contains tonka beans that add depth to the scent, while the bergamot orange and Calabrian lemon base add a rare musk. A Creed Royales Exclusives, Sublime Vanille is offered in a one-ounce spray or in a hand blown Pochet glass bottle etched with Creed’s crest. To enjoy this scent on your travels or on the go, Creed recommends the separate purchase of a 1.7 oz Creed leather-wrapped atomizer.
Prada Candy:
Prada CANDY is instantly seductive, so go get your freakum dress before putting this one on. The pure scent is wrapped in an impulsive charm that becomes very hypnotizing. The caramel accords that give it a truly unique signature are magnified by sultry white musks. With this scent, not only will you feel like eye candy, but you’ll achieve a scent to match it, effortlessly. It’s like taking candy from a baby; a Prada baby that is.
