Fav Summertime Fragrances

Hello my loves. It's been another hot minute since I have posted some beauty fun! I had a legit excuse with working two jobs and having zilch time to do anything beauty related. I hardly had time to do my makeup in the morning. Shocking, I know. But let's not get crazy… I made time. I finally made the decision to leave my barista life behind and jump on the Big Girl Job train. Not that I didn't love making caffeinated beverages for the regular crazed morning lunatics, but dermatologists office just seems more up my alley. And I LOVE it! I will have a review of Doctor's skincare up here in a few months when I give them a true test :) Long ramble short, I have settled into my new routine and I'm back to blogging… again. Let's see how long I can keep it going, shall we?

I just wanted to share my top two favorite scents I wear for the summertime. A little did-bit about myself, I do not like wearing perfume. I am SUPER picky when it comes to perfume due to having horrid allergies and a very hyper-sensitive nose to sweet smelling thick fragrances that lead to migraines. Don't get me wrong, I smell amazing fragrances all the time and think "Ooh that is such a nice perfume!" but I know better, I would never personally wear it. I have gotten samples of cult favorites and none seem to work for me because of my pickiness.

I do not like floral, but I love the smell of honeysuckle and the smell of roses. I stumbled upon CHLOE Roses de Chloé as I was walking out of a Sephora (SO shocking right?) and thought why not give it a whiff. Holy moses I was so surprised how much I loved it right off the bat that I got a sample right away. I wore the sample for a week straight and fell in love. It worked with my body chemistry (not all perfumes smell the way they do in the bottle when it's on your skin) and it didn't bother my nose. It smells like a bouquet of fresh cut roses. That's it. Pure fresh red roses. No crazy description needed! It reminds me of a classic perfume with a ton of rose petals crammed in the bottle. Perfection. Mr. Man decided to buy me my very own bottle of this magic for my birthday and I love him dearly for it. Every time I wear Roses de Chloé I get compliments on how good I smell. Who doesn't love a compliment like that??

My other summertime go-to is a full on summer only scent. I held of on buying the actual perfume bottle for so long because A. I don't buy perfume because it's a serious commitment and I already have my signature Roses scent and B. It was a perfume I could only wear in the summer and it's pricey! So the minute they came out with a rollerball of this baby, I pounced. I'm talkin' about Bobbi Brown Beach. This is the epitome of a summer day at the beach. The description of the perfume is "an intoxicating blend of jasmine, sea spray, and mandarin" AKA it smells like an intoxicating blend of salt water and Coppertone. No joke. I LOVE IT. No one can quite put their finger on what it reminds them of until someone says "Coppertone" and the crowd goes wild. It may sound weird, but it smells so summery and fresh and lightweight, it is just beautiful. It may not be for everyone, but if you are looking for a super fresh and a delightfully classic reminiscent scent (like what I did there?), you may need to go check this out. I highly recommend it!

I hope you beach babes are enjoying your summer! Wear that sunscreen!!
