I think I may have done a little something! Open S I think I may have done a little something! Open Sky is so pretty, clean, and slightly floral which I like but most days i want to smell SWEET! That’s where Kayali Vanilla 28 comes in! The sweetness of @Kayali complements Open Sky’s airy/slightly powdery notes and as much as I love Kayali Vanilla my bottle could use some airiness to it. It’s so deep and rich!

I needed something to a little sweet so I reached I needed something to a little sweet so I reached for Wrapped in Vanilla. It’s giving every bit of frosting 😋 

Fragrance notes: soft vanilla, velvet sugar and Chantilly crème.

I think PEAR 🍐 may be my new note. As a matter I think PEAR 🍐 may be my new note. As a matter of fact I know it is!! 
These two have a pear note and they complement each other soooo well! Vanilla woods is sweet while Emerald Mist leans a bit more fresher. I’ll think it’ll be perfect for the warm weather! I will be backing up BOTH!

The passion fruit in Amore by @vincecamuto is BEAU The passion fruit in Amore by @vincecamuto is BEAUTIFUL and as someone who doesn’t love floral I feel like this is just the right amount.
Such a pretty scent that I’m going to thoroughly enjoy wearing in warm weather!

The girlies aren’t talking about Wicked nearly e The girlies aren’t talking about Wicked nearly enough! Although the name doesn’t fit the juice because this is a sweet one.
I wore this years ago and when it got discontinued I was DISTRAUGHT! (Not really 😅) But they brought it back for the semiannual sale and I got 2! Wicked is one of my favorite vanilla fragrances and I find myself wearing it l year unlike some of my fave vanilla’s. The freesia in Wicked makes it nice, floral and airy eliminating that cloying and syrupy feel all while remaining sweet thanks to the Brown sugar and vanilla. 
If you can get your hands on it it’s worth a sniff!
