Summer Scents!!!!!



Summer officially arrived a few days ago and what better time to visit places like Sephora and Ulta to grab your favorite clean, floral and spicy scents. During the fall and winter my favorite perfumes and body sprays had earthy warm smells to them, my favorite was Twilight Woods from Bath&Body Works. But now there's no snow on the ground or 40 degree weather its time to change it up. Go with the smells that make you nose happy when you get a whiff of them.  One of my all time favorite spring summer scents is Dolce&Gabanna  Light Blue. This scent it very clean and fresh perfect to wear to lunch in the park or on a boat ride during a summer evening. Newer scents that I love are CK One Summer which is a limited edition and Stella by Stella McCartney. I like very clean scents that compliment my natural body chemistry. Ladies don't be afraid to spray a new scent on your skin to see how the certain undertones in it will change.  Spray on the cleanest part of your skin, I generally spray on my hand or wrist. Spray lightly and wait a few minutes to see if there is a funny after smell. Sometimes when you first put perfume or body spray on it will smell like how it does in the bottle but once it mixes with your body the smell will change a little bit. At Sephora pay them a visit and try any scent for free in there sample container to find which one is best for you. And the let the clean.floral or spicy scent carry you away all summer long.
