Summer Fragrance

I have been MIA on my blog, being lazy and extremely busy, but I am back!!!
I am excited to start blogging again. Just came back from Senegal (second time this year! yay!!) and I had a great time. It is always so nice to spend time with my family and friends. I got to hang out with my girlfriends this time, more than I did during my last trip to Dakar in January. It was great to see my girls but also neat to reconnect with the Senegalese Fashion. The ladies in Dakar are always on top of their game, always extremely put together from head to toes despite the heat in Dakar and "No Khaliss" lol. It was so hot in May there, I was sweating bullets from morning to night all the time! With all the cute summer outfits, it is so important to have a light and fresh summer fragrance, specially when you sweat like I do (sorry this may sounds disgusting but don't we all sweat? lol).

Anyways, I after a long search at Nordstrom and Sephora, I purchased Chanel Eau Fraiche. It is a beautiful, light and citrusy fragrance. It was perfect in Dakar and I received so many compliments on it. If you are looking for a chic, light and fresh summer fragrance, this is it. It acted fine with the hot weather. It is a little pricey (approx. $100) but a little goes a long way....
Unfortunately, I forgot to pack it in my checked bags on my way back to the States. My aunt who works at the airport was helping me go through Security ( only in Africa right? lol) so I gave her the bottle. She
was so thrilled and I am glad she was there because I would have been so mad if the bottle ended up in the hands of the unpleasant airport security guy who was going through my stuff....

Back to the States, I found a mad hot weather in Florida too! I was desperately in need of a new fragrance. This time, I purchased Hanae Mori Eau de toilette at Nordstrom. I just love it. This is sweet, girly, sophisticated and I feel like it will be my staple for a long time.
It has a little hint of vanilla which I like.




I also liked all the Marc Jacobs Eau de Toilette Splash. My favorites are the Cucumber, Pomegranate, Fig, Apple and Biscotti.
