Are you looking for some fragrance ideas? I know that I always am. I like to change up my scents frequently. Typically, I gravitate towards certain scents seasonally. However, there are some scents, like Capri Vince Camuto, that I like year-round. 

Plus, can we just take a moment to admire how gorgeous this bottle is? There is no question that this bottle will be a stand-out on your bathroom vanity or dresser. What a gorgeous bottle! 

Capri Vince Camuto is an effervescent, floral-fruity fragrance with citrusy top notes of Violet Leaves, Juicy Pear, and Pink Grapefruit washed over a floral bouquet of Peach Blossom and Violet Flower, revealing a rich heart of Musk and Vanilla. 

If you like fruity florals, then you are going to like this scent. The deeper base notes of musk and vanilla make it more complex. 

Capri Vince Camuto retails for $82.00 at Macy's for a 3.4 oz Eau de Parfum.

Sensational NEW Scent: Ari by Ariana Grande

Ya'll know that I just love trying new scents! Introducing: Ari by Ariana Grande! This gorgeous bright scent is a lovely mixture of fruits, florals, and deeper musky notes. This fragrance is modern, upscale, and fresh. This perfume is on the heavier sensual side. Yet, the mix of notes gives it year-round appeal. There is a lot of warmth with the Vanilla and Musk and the Grapefruit adds a nice freshness.

The luscious fragrance opens with a mixture of fruits inspired by Grande's effervescent personality. The bright top transforms into a feminine bouquet of soft flowers, unexpectedly spun with marshmallow, creamy musks and blonde woods, capturing Ariana's romantic and sensual nature.

Holiday Shopping Guide 2014: Fragrances for Everyone on Your List!

 Affiliate Link Press Sample

My Holiday Shopping 2014 Gift Guide continues with some great ideas for affordable fragrance gifts! I don't know about ya'll...but, I always love to both give and receive fragrances for gifts. The good news is that there are so many affordable options out there! Today I am going to highlight an affordable fragrance idea for 3 general categories: Men, Women, and Teens. 

For a Woman: Halle Berry Wild Essence: 

This sensual and sophisticated perfume was designed to capture the raw and natural beauty of a woman. This decidedly sexy fragrance has notes of fresh citrus and floral. To me it is predominately floral with added warmth. There is something comforting and soft about this scent. Notes: Top Notes: Sicilian Bergamot, Black currant, Mandarin Zest. Heart Notes: Freesia, Linden Blossom, Cotton Flower, White Roses. Base notes: Silk Musk, White Patchouli, Crystal Amber, Sandalwood Bark. Retails for $28, HalleBerryFragrances.com. You can also find this fragrance in package deals at Walgreen's for a really great price!

For a Man:Nautica Life:

Nautica LIFE is a romantic blend of uplifting freshness, mysterious aromatics, and seductive woods. With notes of Living Sea Salt, marine Seamoss and Natural Violet Leaf, Nautica LIFE unleashes a revitalizing splash of energy while creating a blissful feeling of magnetism and seduction. Top Notes: Sea Salt, Ivory Coast Ginger, Heart Notes: Natural Sage, Provence Lavender, and Violet Leaf, and Base Notes: Hinoki Wood, Tonka, and Marine Sea Moss. This scent is such a classic men's scent to me. It is powerful and clean. Nautica Life retails for $48.50 and is available at Macy’s.

For a Teen: bodycology's Moroccan Sunset: Nothing beats affordable fragrance mists for teens! Especially fruity sweet scents like this one! Granted, you do not have to be a teen to love these. ;) I know that I sometimes tend to gravitate towards "younger" scents for daytime and like to layer fragrance mists with my finer perfumes. Moroccan Sunset by bodycology is a exotic mix of sweet passionfruit and blooming hibiscus. The best part? bodycology has some amazing gift sets in a variety of scents this time of year! So, you can layer your favorite scent with foaming body wash, moisturizing body cream, and a fragrance mist!

Holiday 2012 "Gifts for Him": Paco Rabanne 1 Millon Gift Set

Gift shopping for the guy in your life can be a challenge! I lucked out with the fact that my husband wears cologne and loves for me to pick it out. So, I end up getting him cologne almost every single year for Christmas. I tend to go for prepackaged gift sets because not only do you get more for your money, but also it just looks and seems like a bigger gift.

When I have a hard time picking out scents, I tend to go for best-sellers. 1 Millon by Paco Rabanne was the world's best selling scent in the year 2011!

The Scent Description:
1 Million exudes the freshness of grapefruit, mint and blood mandarin; while the middle notes are composed of rose absolute, cinnamon and spicy notes.  The scent is rounded out with leather, white wood, amber and Indonesian patchouli essence.

This Holiday Gift set from Paco Rabanne is just the type of set that I go for! It is a gorgeous and luxe looking set at a fabulous price point: only $78.00 for 3 full sized products. The set includes: 1 Million Eau de Toilette (3.4oz), 1 Million After Shave Lotion (3.4oz) and the 1 Million Deodorant Stick.

Erik's Impressions and My Thoughts:
My husband, Erik, tested out this scent and gift set already. The 1 Million scent immediately became a favorite! We both love it!!!

As the 1 Million name implies, the scent just smells high-end. It makes me think of a powerful and confidant man. The scent actually reminds me a lot of the Dolce and Gabanna scent (or I think it was Dolce and Gabanna?) that Erik used to wear when we first started dating. He does currently have a bottle of the D&G for me to directly compare. Either way, the 1 Million smells amazing and carries a bit of a nostalgic twist for me since the scent is somehow familiar.

When my started testing the 1 Million set, he first tried to layer the items. However, when he layers the items, he finds that the scent becomes a bit too strong. So, now he typically wears only one item at a time. The Deodorant caused a little bit of irritation and stinging in his underarm area. So, he might discontinue using that item but loves the rest of the set. This was the first time that he ever tired a cologne-based deodorant.

The One Million Eau de Toilette has become Erik's everyday cologne! He loves it and I love the way it makes him smell. Mmm!!!

This 1 Million Gift set just launched November 1st at Macys.
