No ReGifting Required for Carven Dans Ma Bulle

February 13, 2019 by Donna 8 Comments

Happy Valentine’s Day to myself! I am a Carven girl and I am in love with Dans Ma Bulle perfume. Sophisticated and edgy, this sensual perfume passed my “waft test” with flying colors. What is the “waft test?” It’s when you walk by someone and they do a u-turn to share how great you smell! This happened to me not one, but two times the first day I wore Dans Ma Bulle. My coworker even followed me back to my desk so that I could show her where to find it! I mean you can’t go wrong with this perfume that lures you in with top notes of litchi rose, mandarin orange and peony … and then whack ‘em … captures you with its base notes of vanilla, sandalwood and Patchouli!

Carven Dans Ma Bulle can definitely be a staple in your perfume collection. It’s a great scent for busy mothers, college girls, and professional women.

Kate Spade’s In Full Bloom Perfume is a Winner

February 13, 2019 by Donna 10 Comments

I just love Kate Spade’s perfume bottle designs. Even if you do not care for the scent the bottle may serve as a beautiful work of art. However, Kate Spade In Full Bloom is more than just a pretty bottle … it is in your face bold to the tenth power! If I spray a little perfume on my wrist and the scent gets not one … not two … but FIVE back to back sniffs and an emmmmm, I consider this perfume is a winner. In Full Bloom is a Winner!

In Full Bloom is the perfect name and description of this confident, fresh and scent. The perfume reminds me of the time I visited St. Louis’s Missouri Botanical Garden while its impressive rose garden was in full bloom. The perfume draws you in to explore its notes of lemon, green tea, peach and lotus flower. This Kate Spade perfume commands and receives attention. The perfume does lack all day staying power, so you may need to reapply.

Who doesn’t absolutely love smelling nice 🙂 ? I know that even on drab days smelling good makes me happy. I was very happy to try out some awesome new fragrances from Masik Collegiate Fragrances.

About Masik Collegiate Fragrances:

Masik Collegiate Fragrances was founded by CEO, Katie Masik, in 2008. A Chemical Engineering graduate from Bucknell University, she spent the early part of her career in the energy industry. However, an entrepreneur at heart, she grew restless after several years and was ready for a change.

Katie has always loved perfume. She said that even when she was little, she would spend a great deal of time smelling perfumes in the stores. She wanted to take a different angle and somehow create more individualized fragrances that would celebrate a part of everyone. One day Katie was able to realize exactly what her goal was- to create different signature scent men’s and women’s fragrances for universities – a celebration of college and a unique way for alumni and fans to show school spirit. She really wanted the scents to be special and inspired by elements such as school colors, campus style, flowers and trees, traditions and locations. She also wanted the schools themselves to be involved in the process.
