LATE SUMMER BLOOMS: FRAGRANCES TO WEAR NOW
Extend the spirit of summer with fragrances that capture the breezy lightness of the warm weather months.
Jour d’Hermes (1.6 oz. EDT, $108) is a literal tribute to the earth mother in all of us as well as our liberated sophisticated sides. Created by Hermes perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, Jour d’Hermes is a joyful sun dappled bouquet of summer flowers. You’ll catch notes of jasmine, gardenia, sweet pea, and my all time favorite summer aroma, orange blossom. It’s a carefully crafted fragrance that features just a twist of citrus in its top notes, and an overall grounding but fresh greenness, just like summer grass.

SCENT OF A WOMAN
Narciso Rodriguez For Her – If sugar and spice is what little girls are made of, this grown-up version of the female scent is definitely something to look forward to. I am always exhilarated by the mystery of a new parfum, because the components listed on the bottle can’t quite capture the aroma. So, make what you will of the ingredients – including Honey Flower, Orange Blossom, Vanilla, and Tactile Musk – but it’s worthwhile to pop by your local beauty retailer and take a whiff of this spicy-sweet mix for yourself.
FINAL VERDICT – GGI (GOTTA GET IT) –Â A signature scent is overrated. A woman can never really have to much parfum, can she?
