July 31st, 2012 by Karen 4 Comments

Today I wore Flora by Gucci Glorious Mandarin ($100; available now online at gucci.com).

It’s refreshing and bright, and kind of reminds me wearing a orange ruffled silk dress on a warm summer day.

Official fragrance notes…

Top notes: Mandarin and peony
Middle notes: Jasmine and pina colada (yum!)
Bottom notes: Ambergris, white musk and creamy wood

The new Elie Saab Le Parfum Eau de Toilette, $105. Fragrance notes: mandarin tree blossom, gardenia, vetiver blend and warm honey rose. Last year I wore the original Elie Saab through the fall and winter, and this one’s just as pretty. It’s a touch more citrusy and refreshing.
