Hard Candy Fragrance

Filed Under Blog, Scents | 1 Comment

Yum, Yum, Yum! This is the delicious new fragrance from Hard Candy! Perfect for the name “Hard Candy” this scent sparkles with sugar and spice and everything nice. Top notes of White Tea, Pink Peppercorn and Rhubarb move seductively into the heart of Passion Fruit Juice, Enchanting Rose and Jasmine leaving you with a very sexy mysterious dry down of Caramel, Sultry Vanilla, Cedar Wood, and Cashmere Musk.

This fragrance smells like pink sugar swirled with musk and a dash, just a dash of pepper to spice things up. I love it! It’s fun, playful, mysterious and it doesn’t take life to seriously. Isn’t that exactly what you want for summer? And it will be perfect come fall when you want that sophisticated edge of fall fashion with a splash of summer fun gone by.

The bottle is gorgeous and, following suit with the scent it houses, is a bundle of fun and elegance. I fell head over heals for the green shade Hard Candy choose for the large bottle, doesn’t it just make you want to paint your eyes peacock and put on a large peridot cocktail ring? The pink is equally intoxicating making me think of everything female, this bottle is most definitely vanity worthy. The fragrance even comes in a glistening origami box tinted to match the bottle, so pretty!

Hard Candy Fragrance launches July 15th, 2007 exclusively at Sephora. 1.7 oz/50ml ($42) and 3.4oz/100ml ($55)

Insider Tip: If you are looking for a lotion to match this fragrance try LaLicious Lily Mango Body Butter for an exotic swirl that smells amazing or Aquolina’s Pink Sugar Body Mousse for a perfect compliment.

Happy Fourth of July! While preparing for my daily festivities I quite accidentally stumbled upon two scents that blend extremely well together: Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom and Nature Girl’s Jasmine Lime Body Balm. The Body Balm makes your skin very soft and supple and surprisingly provides a great base for the Orange Blossom. Notes of Lime and Jasmine float in the background while Orange Blossom takes center stage. An exotic gorgeous combination. You’ll love it!

Have a fun beautiful holiday!

Custom Perfume Bliss

April showers bring May flowers, and apparently I am being hit with them big time! I have found yet another perfume site that I looovvee. The House of Creative Scentualization. This place is so cool. They will custom design a perfume just for you through a process they call The Fragrance Journey in which they give you a sixty to ninety minute interview drawing from you memories, emotions and desires and then create your fragrance. You can also do an online Fragrance Journey, which at $35, is much less expensive and kind of fun. What’s your favorite color, flower, do you want to live on an tropical island or in a city? Fun questions ending with an option to submit your profile and order your fragrance match. How fun! With summer coming up this is a definite must for a new hot time in the summertime scent.
