Winter Fragrances

These are my favorite fragrances for the Winter. I while back I researched which fragrant notes go with each season. For the Winter I found that pomegranate, vanilla bean, lemon, orange, cinnamon, cardamom, coconut, and gingerbread went with the season. These are the different perfumes, lotions, body washes, and body sprays I have for this season. It is fun for me to change my perfumes for each day and each season.

1. These are my body washes for Winter. I have Philosophy Pineapple Coconut, Lime Coconut, and Orange Coconut. They came in a set called "Going Coconuts!" I have Philosophy Candy Cane and Cinnamon Buns. They can also be used as bubble baths or shampoos.

2. I got these from the drugstore and Walmart. Bodycology Vanilla Cupcake Fragrance Mist, Body Fantasies Vanilla Longest Lasting Fragrance Body Spray, and Bodycology Brown Sugar Fragrance Mist. I think you can get the smaller bottles in bigger sizes, but I had never tried them before so I got them in small bottles. I think they also come in lotions. I really love the way these smell.

3. Philosophy Gingerbread Girl Body Lotion. This is a luxuriant lotion. It smells so nice. There is a cute saying on the front, "Sparkle, spice and everything nice, that's what gingerbread girls are made of. Sugar, icing traces and sweet smiling faces, that's what gingerbread girls are made of. Dressed for the snow with a rosy glow, that's what gingerbread girls are made of. Sparkling eyes and a delicious surprise, that's what gingerbread girls are made of."

4. Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture is another perfume for the season. Then I have my samples from perfume boxes I've gotten in the mail. Juicy Couture the original, Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensee Cologne Absolue, Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline, MCMC Phoenix, and Harvey Prince Eau Flirt. They all have their own unique fragrance.

5. White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor, Curious by Britney Spears, Euphoria by Calvin Klein, Warm Cotten by Clean, Golden Delicious by DKNY, Lady Million by Paco Rabanne, and Angel by Thierry Mugler. I got these from Sephora and Rite Aid.

Autumn Perfume

Well, even though it is still warm here in Oregon, the first day of Autumn has passed, so this is the time of year when it is getting colder and the leaves are starting to change colors. I forgot to wear one of my autumn scents today, so I'm going to start tomorrow. Some of the perfumes are also considered other seasons because of the different notes it has. I looked up which notes go with each season. What I have found for autumn was that the notes that "go" with autumn are sandalwood, musk, amber, and jasmine. This is my collection of perfume that go with autumn.

I collect my little sample vials and keep them in this pretty pencil pouch I found. It has silver sparkles on it. It's hard to see in the picture but they are little flowers and the blue is more of a Cinderella blue color.

Summer Perfume

I don't know about where you live, but where I live in Oregon it is still summer in September. We usually get "Indian Summers." I have organized my perfumes into the different seasons according to the notes in each fragrance. I researched what scents go with which seasons, and looked up the notes for each of my perfumes. I started to wear the perfume that goes with the summer season. I thought it might be interesting for someone. I don't own all of these perfumes. I have samples of a lot of them. I like the way all of them smell.

I also looked up where are good spots to place perfume on your body. It seems that the hot spots are the best places.
1. behind knees
2. wrists (don't rub them together)
3. chest
4. behind ears
5. insides of elbows
6. spritz in the air and walk through it, so your hair gets it
7. spray on hair brush
8. between breasts
9. neck

The best notes for the summer are:
1. rose
2. orange blossoms
3. raspberry
4. peach
5. honeysuckle
6. island flowers
7. sea salt
