Forever, “an opulent floral,” is meant to evoke a feling of “classic Hollywood allure.” The bottle does look as if it came form the dressing table of some iconic beauty like Elizabeth Taylor or Lana Turner.

A Unique Scent 10 Corso Como

When I’m at the mall, I like to stop by the perfume counters. I don’t necessarily look for the big name perfumes or the ones sponsored by the newest “it” celebrity, I look for the scents that are under the radar. Ones that might not be as popular or ones that aren’t advertised as much.
I do this when I’m looking for gifts for family and friends. First, you should have a general idea of the type of scents they are drawn to. Once you know that you can shop for scents that are in the same family or range.

Like many others who wake at 6 a.m. for work, I’m almost completely brain dead in the morning. I remember my skincare routine, to brush and floss and make coffee, but dousing my wrist with perfume rarely makes it to my list of must-dos.
L’Occitane makes it possible for me to remain scatterbrained, something I greatly appreciate. I keep a small tube of Butterfly Lavender Joyful Fragrance Touch in my purse and while sitting in traffic, simply dig out the perfume and apply the small brush to my pulse points for an instant and subtly sweet fragrant touch-up.
The smooth gel, made …read more
