Expert’s opinion:
I have to say, I bought this new MJ fragrance on a whim, without having ever let its delightful scent waft up my nostrils. It was a chance, but when it comes to MJ, chances are I’ll like it. And like it I did. (And do!) I describe this as a vintage floral bouquet with a touch of youthfulness. It’s my new favorite, scent of the moment. I can’t stop wearing it.

I must admit, anything from Marc Jacobs catches my attention. This fragrance successfully embodies what we ladies want for fall — sophistication and innocence rolled into one.
Sold for $132 over at Sephora.

Expert’s Opinion:
It has a subtlety which makes it quite special and soft, and it stays really close to the skin. For me it’s one of those ‘happy’ fragrances that automatically puts me in a good mood when I’m wearing it.

The purplish bottle itself is already an indication that this one’s fit for a princess. This one is for the adventurous lady who also needs to be classy and prim and proper once in a while - just like a princess! I love the fact that this one has dark chocolate and chiffon vanilla in it!
Price starts at $42. Check out the options here.

Expert’s Opinion:
I love Pink Sugar’s delectably sweet scent. It’s an enchanting, refreshing, fun and flirty blend of vanilla and caramel. It’s distinctive charismatic aroma always brings me back to those delightful memories of my childhood eating cotton candy at the fair. And how about those sugar cookies that mom used to bake… yummy!

Don’t let the fancy bottle and trimmings fool you. The price of this product only starts at $28 over at Sephora - a steal, actually, since the Aquolina has the wonderful smell of caramel and vanilla. The Aquolina also has notes of cotton candy, musk, wood and powder — an enchanting mix of youth and maturity, if you ask me.

Expert’s Opinion:
I really do like this scent. It’s light and fresh, like apples and lemons with a backdrop of soft florals, similar in a way to Creed Spring Flower (and they share elements: apple-citrus on a musky-cedary base) but more sporty, musky as if crossed with Philosophy Amazing Grace.

I have written a lot about Dolce and Gabbana’s perfume for fall and yes, I’ll definitely reiterate — the Light Blue perfume is a great buy! Actually, I consider it a must-have. You can wear it during the day and it can pass off as an evening charmer.
Check it out over at Sephora. Sold for only $45 (0.8 oz bottle).

Expert’s Opinion:
Femininity for sure. When I wear this , can’t nobody tell me nothing! This perfume is intense (but in a good way). It’s definitely not for the timid. It doesn’t yell at you but instead it calls you to it. It’s such a sensual fragrance, I can’t help but feel sexy in this.

Stella McCartney’s sweet smelling product for fall is a beautiful surprise. While it focuses on femininity and sensuality, the Stella perfume basically highlights the importance of ecological balance. The ingredients of this product are the best natural raw materials available and the fact that this respects the natural life force of flora and fauna makes this a great buy.
Check it out at Sephora. You can buy yours for $45(purse spray).

Expert’s Opinion:
Bored with roses or mixed bouquets, Parker picked the royal indonesian pikake as the floral note at the heart of her new perfume. the notes feature purple plum, coconut water, tuberose, royal Indonesian pikake and amber creamy musks.

Ah…SJP’s Lovely! I cannot stop talking about this wonderful fragrance. I first spotted this a few months ago in Hongkong and I couldn’t help but buy at least a small bottle just to try it out. I ended up buying another one a few days later because I fell so deeply in love with the smell!
Get the 3.4 oz bottle to really maximize! It’s only $67!

Expert’s Opinion:
That said, if you like freesia you should definitely check this fragrance out. It’s a fresh and clean freesia.Very appropriate even at a conservative office.

Benefit has always been reliable in their products. They definitely deliver! (Let those who have the Benefit Tint raise their hands!!!) The Cosmetics B Spot product is a seductive combination of lush mango, freesia, provocative peony, and steamy sandalwood. Who knew these could be put together?
