Sniffapalooza Samples: Tocca Margaux

IMG_0941Notes:

Top – Blood Orange, Bergamot Blossom, Cassis, Green Gardenia

Middle – Black Jasmine, Ambery Violet, Cashmere Woods

Bottom – Warm Musk, Benzoin, Vanilla, Heliotrope

Impressions:  Move over, Stella, there’s a new girl in town and I think I’m smitten! Margaux is like a soft, snuggly cashmere sweater on a chilly autumn afternoon. It opens brightly, but dries down swiftly to a warm, comforting scent with just a hint of vanilla sweetness. As a big heliotrope fan, I’m always delighted to find a new fragrance which includes this soft cherry-almond note. Margaux and I will be spending a lot of time together this fall.

Thank you to Jaclyn of Lexamedia for the bottle of Margaux.

Sniffapalooza Samples: Lolita Lempicka Elle L’Aime

LL EL copy

Notes:

Top: Bergamot, Neroli, Lime

Middle: Coco Essence, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang

Base: Vanilla, Myrrh, Sandalwood

Impressions: After the bright citrus opening, Elle L’Aime warms to a yummy chocolate-laced confection. The soft floral accord becomes apparent as the cocoa settles, blending beautifully with the warm vanilla. Sandalwood and myrrh round out the scent in the final drydown. Perfect for the crisp autumn weather to come. And how sweet is that gilded leaf atop the cap?! Elle L’Aime has earned a place in my Fall Fragrance Rotation.

Thank you to Martha of CMM for the bottle of Elle L’Aime.
