Sweet As A Cupcake
I love perfume…I love it so much that I have a whole collection to choose from and it’s a struggle not to add to it. I think my biggest problem is that I can’t pick just one signature scent. Take my mother for instance. When I think of her, I think of Lancome’s Tresor. She’s worn the fragrance, kept in a golden pyramid shaped bottle, since I was a little girl. I really can’t imagine her wearing anything else.
But, I’m totally different. I have white florals, vanilla based fragrances, violet scents and bolder more womanly fragrances. Some days I tell myself I’m going to use all my bottles up and settle for just one, but that all ends as soon as I sniff a brand new bottle in the department store.
Right now I have two fragrances on my mind…Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Elixir and Jessica Simpson’s new fragrance, Fancy. Cashmere Mist is a very simple, yet intoxicating fragrance that really doesn’t smell like anything else I have and Fancy is a sweet, bakery-like fragrance that can’t get any more sappy or sweet.
Everything in my body is telling me to forget about Fancy, but there is something so irresistible about the fragrance, kind of like that dessert eyeing you in the pastry case. It’s bad enough for me that it’s a celebrity fragrance, but it’s doubly bad that it’s Jessica Simpson’s fragrance (I already sold out and have several pairs of her shoes). Everything about the fragrance screams Jessica, even the name Fancy. If I were to develop a fragrance for Ms. Simpson, this would be it. So, it’s kind of hard for me to admit that I like it…and that I can’t quit thinking about it.
About 10 minutes ago I discovered a fragrance strip of the sweet fragrance in my new issue of Lucky. I probably don’t have to go into detail of what happened next, but I will say that the fragrance has mysteriously been transferred to both my wrists and halfway up my arms. In the last 10 minutes
(including just now) I have paused to breath in my wrists. I can’t help myself, this fragrance smells delicious!
The fragrance includes notes of pear, apricot nectar, red fruit (no clue what category red fruit falls into), gardenia, jasmine, almond carmel and vanilla cream. That’s a lot of sweet stuff…a lot. So, if you like to wear pink and consider yourself a girly girl then you might have met your new signature fragrance. Or if you’re like me and have a whole collection to continue, then this fragrance will be perfect for you when you’re feeling girly, pretty and oh so sweet.
