I’ve been searching for just the right fragrance for winter. On and off I wear a musk from The Body Shop that I love, and often I wear Lavanila’s Vanilla Lavender perfume which offers just a hint of delicious fragrance. I lean towards light musk and florals, Heidi Klum’s Shine was a recently favorite.

Then, one morning I was listening to the radio and Ryan Seacrest commented on how amazing Nicole Scherzinger smelled when she came into the office. Again this week, he made the same comment about Nicole and the perfume she was wearing which happened to be Carnal Flower. I made a mental note. I had to try this!

Carnal Flower by Dominique Ropion

One spray and I was in love.  Here are the details: Made by Dominique Ropion for Frederic Malle Editions de Parfums, the scent features a high concentration of  tuberose. Dominique Ropion (he’s created several well-known luxurious perfumes) took eighteen months to come up with Carnal Flower.  That’s a lot of committment to delivering the perfect  scent with just the right balance of notes.

Besides the aforementioned Tuberose, other notes include Bergamot, Melon, Eucalyptus, Ylang Ylang, Salycilates, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, a trace of White Musks and absolute Coconut.

When I first apply this, I smell something very crisp and clean with a little floral background. Then, the crisp scent dries down and the luscious floral is left behind. I’m a fan of the scent lingering on the skin all day and this one is still detectable hours after I sprayed it. I want to wear Carnal Flower every day and night.

Beware, this is a pricey perfume and I am completely bummed that I cannot afford to buy myself a bottle. I will treasure my little sample though and enjoy every minute of wearing this fragrance! For more, please go here.

I FANCY YOU is the fourth in the FANCY fragrance series and is a collaboration between Jessica Simpson and renowned perfumer, Cécile Hua of MANE.  A soft, velvety floral musk, I FANCY YOU is a fragrance that naturally expresses the charming ‘Girl Next Door’ side of Jessica Simpson: delightful, kind, loving and innocent with just a hint of flirtiness.  In the graceful tradition of young courtship, I FANCY YOU is like a love letter proclaiming the joy of discovering the perfect someone to share a first romance.

I Fancy You by Jessica Simpson

I FANCY YOU opens with the sweet indulgence of juicy pear paired with savory Fuji apple then coupled with the citrusy crispness of bergamot.  Fresh, creamy tuberose refreshed with the poised, dewy petals of lily of the valley is paired with ethereal hyacinth to add breathless romance to the heart of this charming fragrance.  Sandalwood, warm, innocently enticing is tenderly embraced by the subtle confident note of pink musk; the vivacious sparkle of amber crystals adds a flirty hint as the fragrance lingers like a favorite memory.

It is light enough to wear every day especially in the summer when you are feeling love in the air…

The I FANCY YOU fragrance collection consists of a 3.4 oz. Eau de Parfum Spray ($59.00), a 1.7 oz. Eau de Parfum Spray ($49.00), and a 6.0 oz Body Lotion ($30.00)
