Getting LeeLee to laugh with me has never posed a challenge but choosing my new spring/summer scent sure has proven to be! Laugh With Me LeeLee is actually the new perfume by Benefit that I picked up at Sephora the other day, not pertaining to the endless giggles shared with my bff (hey Leah).
This is the time of year that the olfactory system is at work, as we catch whiffs of blooming flowers, fresh-cut grass, and sunscreen, visions of summers at the beach, dewy evenings, and tan lines flood our memories. I went on a mission to the mall to find the perfect scent to match my mood. I wanted anything Vanilla, Coconut, floral, beachy.. sweet.. by the time I left I was in a whirlwind of aromas, with a small headache and an impulse buy. I like the new scent but there were definitely others that caught my eye... errr.. I mean nose.
Stella McCartney's, Stella eau de parfum, has a rosy, amber, floral scent that reminded me of a pretty picnic/tea party.. Perfect for Spring! I also liked Juicy's Viva La Juicy. It has a flashy not trashy bottle and smelled like a neon pencil skirt, white T, and wayfarer sunglasses (at night).. no really.. it had a little gardenia, vanilla, and praline notes that was fun and girlie! Everyone knows I am YUGE Kim K fan but did have doubts about her new fume... I was surprisingly impressed! Listed as having sandalwood, vanilla, mandarin, pink jasmine, and "lush" gardenia it really did smell great and the bottle reminds me of the Poison bottle that my mom had in the 90's that exudes shoulder pads, YUGE sunglasses, and diamonds (my Mom's 90's style totally parallels Kris Jenners - you know you have seen the THS).
Match your daily aroma with your mood to create another sensory memory for next year... Everytime I smell citrus, melon, black violet, lily, and jasmine (the notes of Laugh With Me LeeLee) I will forever think of Summer 2010... That IS unless I decide to go back to my old faithful Bobbi Brown - Beach ... hmmm..
