My 3 Things: Fragrance

#my3things #fragrance


Summer season.  I have observed that I consume more body sprays or colognes during this season.  Maybe with the warm weather, I just want to feel cool and fresh all day.  Who wouldn't, right? I only have a few bottles on my dresser, half of which are gifts, and I'm not complaining.  In fact, I'm lucky I like most of them, and I really use them alternately, depending on my mood, of course.

If you've been following my blog and Instagram, you know how #my3things work.  Here are my summer scents of the moment:
  1. pureDKNY - A Drop of Rose - Floral and feminine:  This is my second pureDKNY bottle, and I must say, this line of fragrance from DKNY has grown on me.  After my fave Drop of Vanilla, this Turkish rose in a bottle is unexpectedly light and delicate - not the common, strong rose-scented perfumes that give me a headache.  It fades with a light powdery sweet note.  During these warm days, when I'm feeling girly and sweet, A Drop of Rose is my scent of choice.  It can  go from day to night.
  2. Mustela Agua di Colonia - Cool and baby fresh:  I have not used baby cologne for the longest time, so it was such a delight to receive this wonderful bottle of alcohol-free everyday spray that I get to share with my kids.  Admittedly, I use this more than they do, spaying as often as I like, heehee!  It brings me back to my younger years, with that fresh-out-of-the-shower scent.  This is a perfect pick-me-up to feel refreshed on a hot and humid day.
  3. Gap Blue - Citrus and crisp: Literally, this is an old bottle - a gift from my mother eons ago.  I really am amazed a how the simple and crisp scent remained even after over a decade!  This proves I'm not a heavy user of fragrances. I love how young and vibrant this smells, perfect for days when I'll be on the go all day, or when I'm feeling preppy or sporty.

Scent of the Moment: DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom

Delicate. Sweet. Fresh florals.

That's how I would describe this current scent I am wearing from DKNY Be Delicious Eau So Intense fragrance line. 
SRP @ PhP 3,600 / 50ml

"An intense new take on the DKNY Delicious Fresh Blossom fragrance that marries freshness, vibrancy, and femininity.
All the things you love about Fresh Blossom is now intensified in an irresistibly seductive scent."
- DKNY.com

Another wonderful gift from Aramis and Designer Fragrances (ADF), DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense has notes of rose and lily of the valley that's formulated with a "more textural, intense floral bouquet that is long lasting and fresh."

Be Delicious, Fresh Blossom, Golden Delicious Eau So Intense line

There are two other variants I have not smelled yet but I heard each one is intensely "delicious" with fruity and elegant scents that will surely appeal to our different personalities and preferences.  Their gift sets make fantastic holiday presents too!
Holiday gift set: Fresh Blossom EDP Spray 50ml + Body Lotion 100ml

I am not so picky when it comes to fragrances.  I'll wear it as long as they are fresh, light, with a hint of floral or citrus notes, can be powdery or warm like vanilla - which is why I also love DNKY Pure Vanilla

At first, I found it difficult to spray, pressing on the top of this round bottle.  While I struggled to spritz on my nape, I think I sprayed too much the first time and found it too strong for my senses.  I then realized a little goes a long way! It really lives up to it being "Eau So Intense"! 



DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense is now growing on me since it smells lighter during the day when I wear it.  It's a fine, happy floral scent I can wear everyday.
