Is the New Valentino Purple Melancholia worth it? Short answer is yes! I love juicy fruity floral fragrances and that’s just what this is. Yes it’s different than the other DNAs and that’s kinda why I like it. The jasmine in this is a supporting actor not the main character and that I love. Tonight’s combo is sexy, sweet and seductive and if you sent afraid of a somewhat boozie feel it’s perfect for you. I’ve got them both linked below. I purchased mine at Ulta using my coupon and points so don’t forget to put you coupon code in when you go to checkout. I’ll link it at Sephora too just in case you have some points there that you want to use. Let me know what you think! LTKgrwm LTKootd LTKstorytime

I just got Henry Rose Ripe and I’m telling you right now… this one is a MUST for spring 🌸

It’s clean, light, crisp, and slightly sweet with that fresh fruity floral vibe that just works when the weather starts warming up. Effortless, everyday, grab-and-go kind of scent.

And listen… I don’t usually do backup bottles, but this one? Already on my list. That should tell you everything.

If you’ve been looking for a new signature scent for the season, this is a really good one to try. I linked it here so you can shop it directly ✨

You can also get $10 off your first order (no code needed), which makes it the perfect time to test it out.

If you love a rose… but want something softer, fresher, and a little unexpected—this is it.

This is not your typical sharp rose.

Think:
🌸 Peachy rose (fresh off the tree, not overly juicy)
🌿 Light, airy, slightly aromatic
✨ Soft, romantic, and effortless

There’s something about the way the peach and rose blend together that just feels… feminine without trying too hard.

And the lily of the valley in this? It smooths everything out so beautifully—no harsh edges, just a clean, balanced dry down.

This is one of those fragrances you can wear:
✨ To work
✨ Running errands
✨ On a daytime date
✨ Straight into the evening

It’s giving sundress, sunshine, soft wind, and just enough to feel put together without doing too much.

If you love a fruity floral that leans elegant instead of overly sweet… you’re going to fall in love with this one 💕

Go ahead and grab it while you can 👀

Friend… I just tried Honey Oud for the first time and I get the hype now.

This one has been ALL over the internet for a reason—and honestly, I had a little FOMO 😅 but I’m glad I gave in.

It’s that perfect balance:
🍯 Sweet honey (but not heavy)
🍊 Bergamot that lifts everything
🌹 A soft floral + amber base that keeps it sexy

I was fully expecting something thick and overwhelming… especially in Texas heat—but this? It opens up beautifully.

It’s:
✨ Sultry
✨ Light
✨ Playful

This is the kind of scent you can wear running errands, going to get your nails done, or out at night.

Not your typical heavy oud… this one is easy to wear and actually fun.
If you’ve been curious—this might be your sign 👀

Here we are again for part 2 of Will I Buy The Full Bottle of These Minis?

I’ve had a good time exploring the retail designer fragrances and some of them have been great and others I can do without.

Let’s see which ones will make the cut from this round of minis.

#LTKstorytime #LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

As I’m building my perfume collection I start with travel sizes and minis to ensure I only purchase what I’ll be excited about wearing and in March I went mini crazy lol.

I’ve got quite a few, so today I’m sharing some of the minis that may or may not make it to full bottle status in my collection.

Let me know if you see any that you want a full review on.

Still learning my new over-40 style, but babyyy… we getting there.

Did I buy it? Not yet… I’m still wrapping my mind around these smaller sizes.

But she’s on the wishlist 👀

Today affordable fragrance find is featuring Zakats Z19, which is inspired by Bond No 9 Nolita.

It’s a fresh floral that’s got a hint of fruit at the top that makes it ever so slightly sweet, and is perfect when you want to smell like an airy bouquet in a windy spring day.

This is a really nice pretty girl perfume that ca be worn on its own, or layered with other peach or apple fragrances to play up the fruit. And is a perfect alternative to a very expensive perfume and gives the same vibes.

Today I wanted it just a little bit seeeter so I’m adding some peaches and apples to play up the fruit, and it’s the perfect simple combo to make you feel good all day.

#LTKgrwm #LTKselfcare #LTKdayinmylife

I love me a good fruity perfume and @Lataffa Perfumes Ana Abiyedh Coral does it for me!

It's giving crisp, cold watermelon that's perfect for this time of year.

Floral Rose by Dossier is an absolute yes for me.

If you like clean, woody rose scents you'll love this.

Think Le Labo Rose 31 but for the cheap and she lasts!

She's a little hard to run down but I was able to find her, just check my LTK for the deets.

Happy shopping friend!

Brown Girl Jane had a new peach fragrance that released this week called Peach Aura and I’ve got my hands on it!

Here’s my first impression thoughts on it before a full wear!

#LTKselfcare #LTKmorningroutine #LTKgrwm

If you're looking for a clean kinda citrusy floral Yellow Dream is an easy reach!

With notes of Italian Lemon, Rose Accord, and Clean Musk it's light, it's fresh and it's subtle which makes it perfect for nice and/or cloudy early spring day like we're having here in San Antonio.

I love it because it's beautiful on its own and doesn't take a lot to make a statement. It's effortless and that's what makes it such an easy grab for times like these.

I like it even more because it's priced amazingly here in the TTS and with the way I use this it's def one I keep in my cart.

Whether you need to refill it try it for the first time it's linked below.

This fragrance kept popping up as one of my most clicked scents, so I had to give it its own moment.

If you love sweet, fluffy fragrance profiles with marshmallow and vanilla notes, Khadlaj Cloud Candy is a really solid option.

It opens sweet and airy, dries down slightly musky, and layers beautifully with other fragrances.

Today I got to do a wear test on @Ledda 22 Orris and I love it but I’ve also got some thoughts about it as it relates to my climate.

Overall this is a beautiful slightly creamy woody floral that I think is beautifully blended and perfect for when the days are cooler or if woody florals are your go to.

So far I’ve gotten about 4 hours of the full scent on my skin then it turns into a skin scent that’s more woody than floral but still slightly sweet.

I have another one called Scenic Rose that I think is more up my spring vibes but this one will def be added when the weather turns cooler for me.

#LTKstorytime #LTKgrwm #LTKselfcare

layering combo that smells like golden hour.

I started with Kaers Mango Harmony Perfume Oil, layered Brown Girl Jane Carnivale, and finished with Maison Margiela Replica Chasing Sunset.

The mango oil adds a juicy tropical base, Carnivale brings a playful fruity-floral vibe, and Chasing Sunset wraps everything in a warm glow.

Such a pretty combo for spring and summer days.

If you love soft musky fragrances that smell like expensive skin, you need to try London 1983 by Henry Rose.

It’s a beautiful mix of fig, black pepper, florals, and musk that sits close to the skin and feels effortlessly chic. Perfect everyday scent and a great base for layering.

If you’ve never tried any of the perfumes from the Marley Estate and you like clean scents, I think this would be a great place to start.

Soul Rebel gives citrus florals with a little bit of mush which gives you that fresh out the shower ready for a hot day vibes knowing that you’ll smell fresh and clean all day.

You’ve got notes of grapefruit, mandarin, solar blue, yellow hibiscus, jasmine, sandalwood, cedarwood and musk, which all with together top make this tasty minimal feeling scent that just makes you feel good.

I think it’s perfect for daytime wear in any scenario and love having it in my collection.

#LTKstorytime #LTKvlog #LTKselfcare

Today’s scent of the day is featuring Donna Born in Roma Green Extravaganza and I’m obsessed.

My goal was to go a little more fresh on the scent to accentuate the green tea in the top so I layered it up with Sand and Fogs Bergamont Bliss and Phlur’s Father Figure and it’s amazing.

While it’s green and fresh, it’s still sweet and grounded from the vanilla and I absolutely can’t stop smelling myself.

Green Extravaganza is my favorite out of ask the flankers and I’ve got so many more ways I’m thinking about layering her that I can’t wait to share with you.

Until then, check out everything belt and we’ll come back and take about Oswa later cause she’s my girl for moisturizing and keeping my body shining!

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKstorytime #LTKselfcare

Since the weather is cold I decided to try my Vanilla Aura combo that I’ve been waiting to put on.

It’s sweet, sultry, while fluffy and light at the same time.

I love how the ginger and green tea in princess makes it all airy.

Just a grown woman marshmallow that smells absolutely divine!

#LTKselfcare #LTKgrwm #LTKstorytime

La Fleur Bouquet by Afnan is inspired by Ex Nihilio’s Fleur Narcotique which is a multi hundred dollar bottle of perfume that of course I love but don’t want to afford, lol.

And now that I have this I am in no rush to do so lol.

This is floral, sweet, elegant and super chic.

You’ll feel like a class woman when you wear this and this bouquet line of perfumes lasts all dang day!!!!!

Today I layered her up to smell like a juicy peach and a garden of sweet florals early in the spring and I am obsessed.

If you like Fleur Narcotique but not the price tag get this, this is it and you won’t be disappointed I promise!

I’ve linked here and what I layered her with below.

#LTKBaby #LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare

The perfect layering perfume for the spring.

When I first got Eshal Musk I wasn’t too excited about her, but now I love her!

What I realized is she just needed a little time to simmer and now she’s ready to be the layering fragrance I’ve been waiting on.

Eshal Musk is claimed to be modeled after Kay Ali’s Musk 12, and while I don’t have Musk 12 I can say that this fragrance is soft, will sit close to the skin, and is perfect for layering.

So far I’ve layered her with two fragrances and she sits nicely on top adding a nice sweet rounding out affect that takes the edge off of stronger fragrances and makes it feel more delicate.

It’s one of those fragrances that you spray on to to play on the background and create just enough difference so it doesn’t smell like everyone rose but doesn’t take over and take away from the beauty of what you layered her on to of.

Because I own her I’m going to keep her, she’s not strong enough in my opinion to stand on her own, but she does play a great supporting actor role lol.

If you’re looking for a perfume that’s dainty, slightly sweet, def a skin scent, and great for layering, I’d say check out Eshal Musk.

#LTKselfcare #LTKstorytime #LTKBeauty

Today’s scent of the day was giving sweet clean girl vibes and I loved it!

Mystique Bouquet [Inspired by Parfums de Marley Valaya Exclusif ] and Infinite Radiance brought the perfect amount of sweetness to the combo that lifted the Dream Chaser [Inspired by LV Attrape Reves] just enough where it went from light a clean to light, clean and ever so subtly sweet.

Mystique Bouquet def outlasted all the other fragrances, but as it dried down I was left with the sweet warmth of Mystique Bouquet that kept me sniffing myself all day.

And the best part, it’s super affordable
