WHAT I SMELL: Magnolia Bliss pulls you in with a fresh and fruity enhanced bergamot that is quickly met with a gorgeous magnolia and a ripe and juicy plum and peach. It’s lusciously smooth and oh so inviting. The mixture of florals and fruits are intoxicating and it’s full of vibrant sunshine and a happy demeanor. After a short time, the rounded fruit and florals begin to tame and move from full juiciness to a sweetened creamy silkiness. Here the perfume seems to drift happily off the skin with some wonderful projection leaving a trail of positive energy in its wake. As the perfume continues to settle, a warmed musk adds a wrap of comfort around the pretty magnolia. Magnolia Bliss is exactly that… pure unadulterated bliss!

WHAT I SMELL: Eternal Rainbow opens with a brush of color with soft florals highlighted by a light rose tinged with blackberries that is soon met with a juicy grapefruit and warm citrus. While that sounds like there is a lot going on, the perfume blends like a breeze. And the opening is so wonderfully pretty and inviting with a wonderful depth and warmth that carries you in. There’s a cottony lightness that bounces upon the fruit which seems to buzz with brightened energy without bursting forward as it tames its enthusiasm. As Eternal Rainbow begins to settle, the florals remain, but the berries seem to dissipate as the grapefruit holds it own along with just a touch of herbs. Here, the perfume resides in it’s own universe…not on the ground and not to the sky as if it shimmers in citrus and floral pink hued sweetness that lives in the background in the most beautiful of way. The perfumes remains in this realm for quite some time before it retreats into a quiet vetiver topped with a light cottony musk.
WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE TO ME: The perfume was named perfectly…Eternal Rainbow.
WHAT I SMELL: PARIS-RIVIERA opens with a soft creamy petitgrain that is quickly met with a sweet, vibrant and juicy neroli. It’s fresh, energetic and a bit bubble-gummish as it feels a bit chewy. But overall it’s incredibly sunny. A sandalwood makes it way in to reveal a bit of pencil shaving along with the lightest of jasmine, which helps it migrate away from the orange a bit. After a short time, a gauze of musk layers over the composition and it feels as if the perfume is contained in a muslin wrap designed to keep the flies off of the fruit that sits within a basket. As the perfume continues to develop, it begins to sweeten which is welcomed as it makes the perfume just that more joyous. And in a bit, a warmed woody base adds just the perfect resting place for this floral dream. PARIS-RIVIERA is a delightfully pretty perfume.
WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE TO ME: A summer picnic under the orange trees.
