Eau d'Hadrien by Annick Goutal

Some say this is the perfect summer scent - I say it works year round. In the Winter it will remind you of warmer carefree and sunny days. In the Summer it will never overwhelm you - it is sweet without being candy and lemon without making you feel like you are wearing a cleaning solvent. As refreshing as lemonade and it melts into your skin creating a personal fragrance that I really cannot find the words to describe. My husband told me this scent smelled like me - in that he could not give me a specific reason or note that struck him as suiting my personality. It just turned into something that made him think of me. My daughter on a separate occasion said the very same thing (and she did not hear him say it....she lives out of state). This is said to be a unisex scent however, my husband said he thought it was too feminine for that. Chemistry being chemistry though, I am sure it would work on a man by taking on the personality of the wearer as most scents do.

Petite Chérie by Annick Goutal

This scent was a surprise for me. Opens as pear/fruit but not in a Body Spray way - more in a delicate Springtime breeze sort of way. Designed with a young girl in mind I find that it makes me feel feminine and princess-like even at my 45 years of age. I applied the lotion - small amount really...just a bit up both arms and a dab where one would normally apply perfume. Seemed hardly enough scent for anyone to take notice but myself. My husband walked past me and wanted to know what smelled so wonderful. Well now, there are very FEW scents that he comments on at all. This one is a keeper for him. He also likes the Eau d'hadrien on me - says it smells "like me"....whatever that really means - but my daughter said the very same thing (and she wasn't around to hear her daddy say that). Seems as though the body cream retains its fragrance longer then both the EDT or EDP so from an investment standpoint I would purchase the body cream first. The shower gel is a refreshing treat as well. That in mind - the cream and the bath gel can be difficult to find. OH, one more thing - don't buy from discounters unless they have a good return policy - so far, when I purchase from discounters I get rancid Annick Goutals - not sure why. The scent of the body cream must hang around a while too - at the end of the day yesterday my husband was still telling me that I smelled so good. (always nice to hear)

Matin Calin by Comptoir Sud Pacifique

I had no idea of how addicted I would become to this fragrance. I cannot walk past my bottle without spritzing some on. It is nothing like my other fragrances. The scent is sweet, warm, candied milk. I suppose this is not for everyone but, if you do love soft, sweet scents, give this a try.

Sugar Blossom by Fresh

f I could rate this higher then 5 stars I would...perhaps 100 stars? This is fresh without being "sharp" to the nose. It reminds me of a flower that grew in my mother's garden that would make the house smell so wonderful when she placed them in a single vase in the kitchen. I had always wanted a fragrance that smelled like that! It does evolve while on into a warm, comfortable scent. Cannot describe it, but give it a try. Try it more then once because it is different then "perfumey" scents. It is different on everyone. Love this on my mom as well though, it smells different on her then it does me. Though it is a light scent - be careful of spraying on too much. It can get too heavy as it warms up on the skin (as I found out at the gym!).
