Little Black Dress
I have a new signature scent, and it’s all thanks to my mom! Christmas came a month early when she gave me Guerlain’s La Petite Robe Noir on Thanksgiving. I first smelled this deliciously beautiful fragrance in a Sephora catalog (where else?) and instantly fell head over heels in love. I’m quite certain I suffer from a smell and color-related form of synesthesia, and when I tried this perfume, my first thought was, “Black,” like the night sky.
The scent is very heavy, perfectly suited for colder months, and includes black cherries, red berries, licorice, and smoked black tea. This combination results in a wonderful, sweet and smoky fragrance that lasts all day long.
I’ve always been a fan of Guerlain, and wore their now discontinued scent, Meteorites, as well as their cosmetics, on my wedding day. And Insolence and My Insolence are among my most favorite perfumes.
But La Petite Robe Noir surpasses all three in quality and scent, and I am so thrilled with my new little black dress.
(The perfume and body milk, with their lovely packaging.)
That combination sounds like a wonderful scent! I just bought my new favorite perfume too, D&G “The one”, it’s also stronger and heavier compared to what I’ve had before.
Thank you for stopping by, Sofia! I love trying new perfumes, don’t you? 🙂
Oo! I need to try this! I love Guerlain makeup, but it’s too expensive for me right now. I usually love dark scents, but lately I’ve been shifting to more florals. I really want the Le Labo Rose 31. Maybe Santa will bring it for Christmas!
Yes, I only have this thanks to my mom, who spoils me with perfume. I really love florals, too, and this will be too heavy for warmer months. I’ll have to check out Le Labo Rose 31. I haven’t heard of it.
Synesthesia is so neat! My sister pictures colours with words.
I’ve heard of that and it must be so cool! I think I only get the color image sometimes with new smells, and then the scent reminds of a color after that. The mountain laurel in our yard reminds me of purple when it blooms every spring.
