I love fragrance and online shopping, but really, do you want to shell out $$ on a fragrance you’ve never actually tried on? Scent Bar is a tiny but well-stocked fragrance boutique in LA with a fantastic website (called LuckyScent)… See something you’d like to try? Order a sample for a few dollars and try it out for yourself!
I’m sampling:
Parfums MDCI’s Rose de Siwa “The scent is a charming, playful rhapsody in pink, a joyful, flirty, truly feminine composition that features pink peonies, pink roses, and pink fruits, with violets adding a darker depth to the blend…”
Heeley’s Sel Marin “Both breezy and aquatic, Sel Marin perfectly captures an early summer’s day spent at a quiet cove, a place absent of all fruity tropical oil smells and distractions when the only thing to concentrate on is the refreshing water, the soft sand and the salty sea air….”
Stephanie de Saint-Aignan’s Li Altarelli “Li Altarelli has a green, vegetal beginning, which we adore, and a sumptuous lemony accord beautifully woven into the herbal and earthy body of the scent…”
Acqua di Biella’s Ca Luna “Cool and full of shadows, this reminds us of the family palazzo we wish we had grown up in. Ancient walls covered in lichen and silver-toned ivy…”
P.S. I also love their friendly, expert descriptions that really paint a picture of each fragrance.
