Time to Change Your Fragrance for Autumn!

September 15th, 2013 by

Where did the Summer go? ? Autumn is one week away and it is time to put away the Citrus and Citrus Floral fragrances. Now we must ?reach deeper into the rich amber?(Venus Amber comes to mind) woods, incense??(Timeless) and greens?(Vert). ?Chypre?(Intimacy) and all of the really intense fragrances become appropriate now!

The crowds in Southern California have left the beach. ?So it is time to leave the soft fragrances behind also. ?I now reach for the floral orientals, the orientals and the musky rich perfumes. ?There are some great choices in the Royal Collection. You can purchase samples to try and mix and match them. ?It is great fun. The More Life Collection and the Limited Collection offer great choices for fall.

 

Try the Italian Smoke for a rich tobacco smoke and velvet fragrance from the More Life Collection. ?The soy candle Exotica??is a complimentary perfumed candle that shares some of the same essential oils. Try it!

Have fun with the sample sets! ?There may be some hidden jewels in the bunch you cannot live without!

If you do not find anything you really like I offer Custom Intuitive Perfumes that are one of a kind bespoke perfumes. ?They are only for you and you will never find another person wearing your special fragrance.
