It’s Okay To Borrow From the Boys

I like bold scents and sometimes I like  to wear a men’s fragrance or use a men’s body wash or deodorant. I like the spiciness of men’s products and the woody notes seem woodier.

One of the men’s fragrances that I like to use is CLEAN Shower Fresh for Men.  It has a combination of citrus, spice, wood with notes of Bergamot, Lemon, Thyme, Cardamom, Nutmeg, Spearmint, Muguet, Black Tea, and Cedarwood. And I really like the smokey leathery scent of the new AXE Instinct body wash.  (I sneak it from my son).

L’OCCITANE en Provence is a unisex scent made with Bergamot from Italy, grown in Calabria. It’s blended with other citrus notes, spicy Cardamom, Black Tea, wood, and musks. That sounds like my kind of scent. It’s described as “…rich in contrasts, original, and refined.”

Top note: Bergamot, Mandarin, Cardamom, Grapefruit
Middle note: Black Tea, Wild Rose
Base note: Blond Wood, Black Wood, Musks

You can purchase L’OCCITANE en Provence in an Eau de Toilette or Bergamot Tea Solid perfume.
