Smell This: Dolce & Gabbana Dolce

Dolce & Gabbana's latest fragrance, Dolce, is feminine floral scent.

The top notes of this fragrance are neroli leaf and papaya flower. The heart is made up of white amaryllis, narcissus, and white water lily. The base is cashmere and musk.

I like the subtlety of this perfume. It's not in-your-face, but it has a really refreshing floral scent. I looked at some reviews online of this perfume and a lot of people said it was boring and nothing special. The subtle scent, which some people are calling boring is exactly what I like about the scent. 

Dolce is light enough to wear as an everyday scent. It makes me wish flowers were blooming here in Iowa instead of it being cold and windy.

The bottle for Dolce is not a typical Dolce & Gabbana bottle. D&G usually stick to rectangles and squares with no frills. The design is a rounded bottle with light green perfume, which is fitting for the scent of the fragrance. The lid is white flower (it's probably supposed to be one of the flowers in the fragrance) which is an elegant touch. There is a black bow that sits around the top as well that adds an extra feminine element to this very feminine perfume and well as the feminine writing of "Dolce" on the bottle.

I found that the scent lasted a moderate amount of time, which I would expect from D&G.

Dolce sells for $112 for a 2.5 oz. bottle, $90 for a 1.6 oz. bottle, and $70 for a oz. bottle of the perfume.

Smell This: Calvin Klein Endless Euphoria

Calvin Klein's has released a new fragrance called Endless Euphoria. It is a great scent for spring and summer.

This perfume smells almost nothing like the original Euphoria. Euphoria has a lot more woodsy notes in it mixed with floral.

Endless Euphoria is fresh and floral and citrusy. The top notes are cherry blossom, mandarin, and bergamot. Pastel rose and violet make up the heart. The bottom notes are bamboo, sandalwood, and musk.

I think what I smell most in the fragrance is the mandarin mixed with the cherry blossom. The floral notes in the perfume are not overwhelming and add just the right depth. This is a fragrance that is perfect for wearing everyday because it is not too heavy or overpowering.

The bottle has a similar oblong shape like the original Euphoria. However, Endless Euphoria is shorter and more round whereas Euphoria is more wide and narrow. The color is a pretty, light pink. There is a purple tube going around the "hose" that is connected to the sprayer in the bottle. I have never seen something quite like it and I'm not sure what to think of it. The lid is tall and has a metallic silvery pink color to it.

The scent lasted for a while on me when I wore it, so I am pretty pleased with this fragrance overall.

Endless Euphoria is $89 for a 4.2 oz. bottle and $69 for a 2.5 oz. bottle and can be found in many different department and cosmetic stores.

Smell This: The Coach Poppy Blossom Collection

The newest fragrances rolling out of the Coach factory are the The Poppy Blossom Collection. They are three different fragrances, each with a different twist on the floral scent.

Coach Poppy Blossom

Poppy Blossom is my personal favorite out of the three. This fragrance was previously a limited edition perfume late last year. The top notes are litchi, mara strawberry, mandarin, and freesia. The heart has lily of the valley, Centifolia rose, tuberose, gardenia, and Sambac jasmine. The base is made out of praline, vanilla, blonde woods, and musk.

It is the fruitiest one out of the bunch, with strawberry and mandarin being fairly noticeable in it. I love fruity floral scents like this. The perfume stays on very well (as do the other two) and stays true to the scent of the fragrance when I spray it on.

The bottle is adorable. I love the round shape because it looks very appealing and it fits in your hand nicely when spraying it on yourself. The lid is very intricate, with cute engravings on it. The gold on the lid and the nameplate on the bottle fits the Coach image very nicely. And, of course, my favorite part about the bottles in this collection is the flower on the lid. It is perfect for fragrances that are all about floral.

Coach Poppy Freesia Blossom

Fressia Blossom has top notes of bergamot, cassis, raspberry, strawberry, and apricot. The heart has star jasmine, white orchid, Tahitian tiare flower, and freesia. Base notes are vanilla, brown sugar, and musk.

This one is a lot sweeter than Poppy Blossom with the mixture of berries and flowers. It is almost a little too sweet for me personally, but it does smell softer on the skin after it sits a while.

Coach Poppy Citrine Blossom

Citrine Blossom's top notes are bergamot, mandarin orange, and black currant. The heart includes water lily, jasmine, tea rose, violet, green tea, and freesia. Base notes are benzoin, ambrette, and cedar.

This fragrance is the more citrus one of out the bunch (surprise, surprise). Although it is more citrusy, it is still sweet and floral as well. It seems like the perfect spring scent, but I tend to wear whatever fragrance I want whatever time of the year I want.

Each of these fragrances comes in a 3.4 fluid ounce bottle that sells for $85. They are also available in a 1.7 fl. oz. bottle for $65. However, the store I work at doesn't carry the small bottle, so it may or may not be hard for you to find. These fragrances are available at most department stores and beauty stores like Ulta.
