Calvin Klein
Fashion Friday -Fragrance
January 10, 2014
As many of you know I was the hiring and ops manager for our
Down Town by Calvin Klein made me think of the popular song by
Petula Clark-"things will be great when you are downtown..." This
fragrance exudes confidence, attitude and sophistication. A
beautiful blend of green pear, velvet musk and texan cedarwood.
Sephora $ 65.00.

When I hear Jimmy Choo I think of shoes, it is only natural that
there is a fragrance to go along with this luxury brand. This is such
a delightful fragrance and was designed for the modern woman.
Inside this darling bottle is a blend of exotic tiger orchid, sweet
toffee and Indonesian patchouli leaf . "Leaving a sensual memory
on the skin." Blue Fly $70.00.

All four of these scents were amazing and any one of them could
have been the winner for me. However, I chose Chanel Coco Noir
"Through black...light revealed." It is incredibly well balanced, soft
and warm perfect for Fall and Winter months. Gorgeous mix of
tonka bean, jasmine and white musk. Just two small spritz on the
wrist and it lasts for about 8 hours. Nordstrom $ 98.00.

clutches and exactly what is Saffiano Leather-a little history on that
subject.
local Victoria's Secret, and as long as I was working there I was
supplied with all the fragrance I ever needed. Granted, they were
not designer scents but Victoria's Secret has a lovely selection of
fragrances for all ages.

After retiring last year I have had enough fragrances to last me until
recently and Bombshell was one of my favorites because of it's clean
scent. It was of a reasonable retail price of $52 to $60.00.

So, this past week and a half I have been sampling four fragrances.
It was fun and my did I smell wonderful! Since we all know that
scents smell entirely different on each one of us because of our own
unique body chemistry, it truly is wise to try some samples before
purchasing.

Prada Candy caught my eye because of the pop of pink and gold,
everything about the packaging screams femininity and so does
everything about the packaging screams femininity and so does
the fragrance. A glorious blend of musks, vanilla and an explosion
of caramel. It rings of joyful and " more is more and excess is
everything." Best price is on amazon for $77.19 free shipping.

I think the candy one would smell good enough to eat and I don't want anyone to eat me! I think I would go with Coco Channel myself although I have never smelled it - you describe it beautifully! sandie
ReplyDeleteI use to love fragrance, but as my allergies have gotten worse I just don't wear it any longer. Glad you found one you liked!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post Jemma. I'm a bit of a dummy when it comes to perfume so it's nice to have these recommendations. I'll sample a few when I"m out.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Jemma,
ReplyDeleteNow I know we are soul sisters ........"Downtown" by Petula Clark is one of my favorite songs! I would love to smell this fragrance. I wasn't aware that you were the hiring manager for Victoria Secret. The girls love to browse in there, and here's a secret (that's where I buy my underwear) don't tell. ; ~)
Have a wonderful weekend doing the things you love.

I love perfume. My husband used to buy them all the time for me. I would just tell him get me the most beautiful bottle you can find. I think I love the bottles as much as the perfume inside.
