My thoughts: Here’s a fragrance that I think will seamlessly take you from summer to fall. While the ocean water and summer hydrangea are reminiscent of those mornings on the beach, the French lavender and warm amber resemble those chilly fall nights. This fragrance is incredibly soothing—something I could wear for day or night.
The story: Folle de Joie—which means “crazy with joy”— is a fragrance that transports you to the beaches of California or the romantic streets of Paris.
The notes: It has a distinct blend of woodsy and floral notes
In three words: Playful, fresh and floral
My thoughts: I first remember trying this scent when I subscribed to Birchbox. It wasn’t until I recognized the scent on a co-worker at my 9 to 5. I’ve always been the first to confess that I have never had a signature scent. But this fragrance has flipped me. I can’t get enough of this woody and floral fragrance. It’s strong enough to leave a lasting impression and light enough not to disturb any small space or cubicle. I spray on my pulse points for a long-lasting effect and I’ve been applying the hand cream in the morning and at night. Here’s the kicker though—Joie discontinued the fragrance. But lucky for you (and for me, after a bit of digging) found this Joie gift set, still available on the Birchbox site. It’s got a hefty price tag but I swear, it’s worth every penny. And yes, it’s become my signature scent for spring and summer.
