Friday's Beauty Tip
SUMMERIZE YOUR SCENT!
Now that the sun is shining, you've stripped down to that sexy bikini AND you've bothered to paint those toes that were in hibernation for the past few months, don't you think it's time you lighten up on your scent, too? The musky eaus of fall and winter, while sexy, can feel heavy in sultry heat. Don't want to part with the essence of your scent? Luckily, many of the top designers have you covered with lighter versions of your favorites. Some to try:
Ralph Lauren spices up his college co-ed beauty staple, Ralph, with a new, summery version, Ralph Hot. With notes of mocha, cinnamon and maple, it's as sensual as a poolside romp and definitely as delightful! Available at Polo.com
One of my fragrance staples, Dior J'adore, goes light with the aptly named Dior J'adore Summer Fragrance. Orchids splashed with Damascus plum and amaranth wood round out this truly sophisticated, feminine scent. Available at Macys.com
Remember that 90's uber-chic, unisex fragrance of choice among supermodels and high school hipsters alike? Well dear girls, cK One has gone beachy-clean with cK One Summer. With a bottle that looks like ocean fading into sunlight and lush notes of pineapple, grapefruit, driftwood and tangerine, this sweet scent is as sparklingly refreshing as they come. Available at Ulta.com
And some other summer favorites:
The utilitarian packaging may throw a girly girl off but a cult following and thousands of celeb fans can't be wrong. Comptoir Sud Pacifique wrote the book on tropical, exotic scents that are light enough for daily wear but sexy enough to stick around come 6PM cocktails. The current favorite of the fashion set is Vanille Citrus-- the flirty notes of Brazilian orange, Tahitian vanilla and pink Hibiscus instantly transport you from desk-side to oceanside. Available at Sephora.com
Fresh has minimalist chic down to a science so it's no surprise that their simple Lemon Sugar parfum with notes of Italian lemon, lychee flower and caramel, leaves you feeling downright pretty. Available at Amazon.com's Beauty Shop
Wanting to ditch your spritz altogether?
Try the Body Shop's Scent-Me bath oil. Not only can you freshen up and fragrance at once, but this line is seriously personalized. Choose any of the Body Shop's trademark perfume oils to sensualize your shower. Available at thebodyshop.com
Want instant gratification? Scope out Nordstrom's serious scent section, drop in to Fred Segal beauty or swing by my personal favorite, Larchmont Beauty boutique in Hancock Park.
Happy sniffing, girls!
