Crazy About The New CrazySticks!

September 8th, 2009 by sarah

collectionlesgarconnesA few years ago I discovered Crazylibellule and the Poppies and have been obsessed ever since.  And very recently I was lucky enough to be able to try out some of the new scents from the brand new Les Garçonnes collection, as well as the CrazySticks cologne, 26 Juin, the new men’s fragrance.  All I have to say is yummy!!

…well, obviously that’s not all I have to say.  I have to start out with the new Les Garçonnes collection because it has become such a hit with me.  I love that this line, while scrumptious, is a little bit more sophisticated then other CrazySticks collections.  I was privileged enough to have the chance to try the Rose À Saïgon fragrance, Hommage À Gabrielle fragrance and the Tamara Charleston fragrance.  I’ll give you a mini synopsis of each…and just so you know, it was a tough choice, but I ranked them in order of my favorite.

roseRose À Saïgon is a super feminine scent worthy of anyone with a vintage spirit.  The notes include passion rose, passion fruit and guaicacum wood.  The rose scent, while powerful, is laced with a touch of softness.  This scent is your perfect companion for date night (or any night really!).

gabrielleHommage À Gabrielle is such a pretty scent that reminds me of the south on a warm summer night (for those of you who are not privy to a warm southern night, think white flowers and musk).  The notes include peony, cedar, crystals of elemi and Russian leather.  To me, this scent embodies a perfect sultry, summer scent.

tamaraTamara Charleston was a really difficult choice to put at third, because this scent is so pretty and unique.  The scent has a bit of a woodsy scent, which could easily make it unisex, but it still has a sweet side to it.  I love this scent because I have nothing like it in my arsenal and one of the main notes is absinthe, how cool is that?  The notes include lisylang, absinthe and green mandarin.

I was also able to try out the first CrazySticks cologne, which I’d personally consider unisex, but if my husband is extra nice I might actually let him have it (I’m sure he’s waiting on pins and needles).  The cologne is called 26 Juin (June 26th, for my non-French speaking readers) and is a clean scent with a bit of a tart and woodsy scent.  The notes include orange, plum, peach and rose.  Even though those scent combinations might  seem on the girlish side, I promise you, a guy would smell amazing wearing this scent.  As for my taste, I would rather my husband wear this than I, but these note combinations might just be up your alley even if you are a girl.

It doesn’t end here though, there are a ton of reasons to run out and buy yourself a CrazyStick or seven and not just because they smell divine.  One of the biggest reasons is that they are all free of alcohol, parabens, and coloring agents.  They are also budget-friendly, easy to carry with you (they live in my purse for those moments I need a fragrance touch-up), they won’t break and you will get everyone’s attention because the bottles are all oh-so-cute…and not to mention, you will smell fabulous!!

Make sure to check out the Crazylibellule and the Poppies website to see all their amazing products, to read up more about the scents, and to find a collection that you might just fall in love with…trust me, it won’t be too hard!!

About Cupcakes Taste Nice

My lust for beauty products has been around since I was a kid. I always wanted the most eye catching packaging and the sweetest scents. As a preteen I could not wait to get my first pimple so that I could try out the different acne products that were marketed to me in magazines and on TV. As I got older I just loved the girlie side of wanting to look and feel pretty. I love taking a shower on Saturday morning and having a plethora of products to choose from depending on my mood that day. I anticipate my beauty and style magazines coming in the mail so I can read and research new products. I even spend hours on the internet searching for factual reviews of the latest and greatest products.
