Pacifica California Star Jasmine


Pacifica has added California Star Jasmine to their fragrant line up.  Star jasmine grows on the path to the home of Pacifica's founder  and inspired  her to make a scent based on it and life in her beachside neighborhood.

The perfume is a soft, sweet, light jasmine , with some citrus  . It's breezy and easy to wear. Since it's not strong and stays close to the skin this can be an everyday,  warm or cool weather scent. It's a little woodsy ( the driftwood note) and  has a fresh air feel as well a hint of beachiness.

The scent comes in solid perfume, body butter, roll on perfume and spray perfume.

Available at http://www.pacificaperfume.com/ and  Sephora.com

Crazylibellule and The Poppies Les Garconnes Perfumes

Adorable perfume company Crazylibellule and The Poppies is bringing a new set of solid perfume "crazy sticks " out next month. The new scents are an homage to fabulous ladies of the Roaring 20s.

I've been in love with this line for some time .They'd been on my radar before they were even available here in the US. To see them at Sephora now is wonderful.

Part of what makes these special is the portability, the great price point, and the cute factor . They smell great too, which is most important.

A great line from the website describes the inspiration a bit :"I am a REVOLUTION because I do whatever I please. I defend the colors of audacity, of freedom of expression and of respect for women."

The first one I had was Ananas Imperial from the Shanghaijava collection .

Now I have added some of the Les Garconnes. I've tested 3, and so far my favorite is Rose Saigon. It's a Rose/Violet combo to my nose with a healthy whiff of the Gaiac wood note( which smells of fruit , not woods.)

Tamara Charleston is also quite nice. It reminds me of a sweltering summer scent, fitting for anything Charleston.The Mandarin, Jasmine and Hay are what my nose grabs most here. The hay smelling more grass-like than dry hay. It's an interesing mix.

I look forward to trying the rest when they launch in July.

The Crazy Sticks are all $16.00 for a 5g stick.
