Nothing says Spring more than a burst of citrus. ?During Spring in Southern California we have citrus blooms exploding on the trees. ?We have sweet orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, lime, and more.

My Le Voyage eau de toilette is a light, fresh, citrus floral that is perfect for those Spring days. Especially the days that are rainy, snowing, or Mother Nature brings earthquakes, a tornado, or other disasters. It is very uplifting and a happy and feel good scent. ?Everyone can wear it and enjoy it. It is perfect for work.

If you want to try out new fragrances but cannot decide what you want, I have put together a Spring Collection to make it easy for you.

Spring Discovery Set
