Yves Rocher Fall Fragrance Sale + New Tendre Jasmine Perfume

I have to confess; I've been a little rebellious when it comes to my scent. I work in an industry where perfume is not allowed, and the fact that it's forbidden only makes it more exciting to me! I absolutely love fragrance and I truly believe it is one of the most important components of any outfit, so you can imagine how hard it is for me to leave the house without my signature scent du jour.

Lately I've been sneaking a spritz here and a dab there of my L.A.M.B. and my rose solid perfume, and it makes me feel so exhilarated. Plus I love smelling a whiff of my perfume throughout the day.

As I mentioned before in my review of Leslie Blodgett's Bare Skin, scent is a very powerful thing that has the power to bring up memories and take you back to a place you haven't been in a very long time! This is one of the reasons I love perfume so much, along with the fact that it's something that makes you feel so sensually pretty no matter what you're wearing (especially if you're not wearing anything!).

On that note, Yves Rocher is introducing their new Tendre Jasmine perfume and I can't wait to try it! When I was younger we had a night blooming jasmine bush (tree? vine?) outside of our house and smelling the flowers from my window was just so magical. Ever since then I have been in love with the scent of jasmine. It is so delicate and clean but fragrant at the same time.

Take advantage of Yves Rocher's Fall Fragrance Sale, up to 50% off, and as if that weren't enough, they are giving free Tendre Jasmine mini perfumes with any fragrance purchase!

Just thought I'd let ya know!

Leslie Blodgett Perfume Diaries Bare Skin Fragrance - only at Sephora, available online now!


For those of you who don't know, Leslie Blodgett is the CEO and beauty powerhouse behind Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. If you don't use it, chances are you know someone who does (my mom), and if you do use it, chances are you die for it (catchphrase courtesy of Rachel Zoe)!

The press for this seductive little fragrance aptly named Bare Skin has been swirling around the web (and, coincidentally, right into my inbox) and it got me a little curious. Sephora has classified this fragrance as a "woody oriental" in the same family as Tom Ford Black Orchid and Thierry Mugler Angel.

My mom wore Angel while I was growing up and I remember sneaking into her room to spray some on my wrists and then lying when she asked me if I had used it. It is such a complex, beautiful scent but the strongest thing about it are the memories it triggers . That's what I love most about scents and fragrance especially. A certain smell can unlock the sweetest memory and can make you feel at home or remind you of that special someone even when you're miles away.

What is so great and unique about Bare Skin is that Blodgett has created the fragrance based on a magical Mexican vacation, using the joy she felt and the memories created there as inspiration. A smell can unlock many a memory, but in this case, Blodgett's first fragrance is an homage to a joyous vacation spent sun-kissed and care-free on the beaches of Mexico.

With notes of Black Pepper, Freesia, Vanilla Orchid, Plumeria, Patchouli, Sandalwood, and Musk (and more!), Sephora reviewers described the scent as rich, and sexy. Is it as sexy as bare skin on a Mexican beach? I'll believe it when I smell it.
