Smells Like Teen Spirit

Nothing reminds me of summer and my teen years like the smell of the ocean rolling in in the morning and Vanilla musk. I don’t know what it is with teenage girls and vanilla. I think it’s written into our genetic code or something. All 15 year old girls must smell like sugar cookies and pudding. I used Coty Vanilla Musk so much that the scent now makes me a little nauseous. I do however still like the faint aroma of vanilla, just as long as it’s subtle and not that sickeningly sweet sugar smell.
Imagine my glee when I found Kuumba Made’s Vanilla Musk at Whole Foods a few months ago. Kuumba Made fragrances are oil based and there are no petroleum based ingredients, alcohols, Parabens, Sulfites, Dipropolyne Glycol, dilutants, or animal products in their fragrances. The scent is so light and subtle that I love wearing it. It comes in a concentrated roll-on so you really only need like a dot here and a dab there. I guess I will always be a teenager at heart, stuck in the 90’s no less. Where’s a scrunchy and matching Keds when you need them.
For a chance to win a most decidedly adult fragrance, Badgly Mischka’s Fleurs de Nuit, check out Amy over at The Scented Life. All you have to do is read her original review of the perfume adn leave a comment. Schwag, yeah!

I LOVE Kuumba Made’s stuff. What a find!
