I am such a sucker for a beautiful fragrance, and a few of the products I've been using lately definitely tick the 'smell awesome' criteria box for me. The obvious product to smell amazing is a perfume (whoda thunk it!) and the latest bottle to hit my stash is the latest Taylor Swift perfume, Taylor. A lovely Christmas gift from my sister in law, it was initially the cool 70's retro luxe bottle that saw this jump on my wishlist, but the scent was the real hook in the end. Fragrantica mentions notes like lychee, tangerine and vanilla orchid, but ultimately this reminds me of Britney Spears Curious with a touch more class (note: I have a fond spot for Curious as Mister Bovary bought me it when we began dating, so this similarity is a very positive thing for me)
Another good scent experience comes by way of yet another sister in law - some Manhattan Dusk melts for our oil burner. Mister Bovary has a serious melt/candle addiction, and these were down to $1 so they were thrown in with my sister-in-laws Dusk haul while we were out shopping together. They smell of bergamot and rose damask, and I love the pretty pale blue colouring so much.
A surprisingly impressive scent is the new Maybelline Color Bloom lip balms which are not yet available in Australia, but were purchased in Bali as part of my Christmas gift from my dear friend Carly. These balms smell sweet and go on clear before blooming into colour on your lips, staining them a nice sheer shade. I adore the clean lines of the packaging for these, elated to have two new lip products to play around with this summer. I have Pink Blossom and Peach Blossom, the hot pink being my personal favourite.
Last but not least in the amazing scent stakes is the latest body moisturiser obsession of mine - Lush's Sikkim Girls*! I received this tub at the Lush Cruelty-Free Christmas event and have been rubbing in the heady jasmine scented lotion every night before I hit the hay. It does leave a bit of a residue but smells so good - the scent is described by Mister Bovary as 'a mix between a Lush store and a hippy'.
What scents have you been swooning over?
