Around the corner from the House of Chanel in Paris, another iconic fashion house, Christian Dior, has been creating classic fragrances for women.

Nothing smells more like love than flowers, and this fragrance has a blend of damask roses and Egyptian jasmine, balanced with fruity Italian mandarins, swirled with amber, enhanced with Indonesian Patchouli, and vanilla. This is a precious and elegant signature scent worn by iconic women like Marlena Dietrich, Grace Kelly and Natalie Portman.

I have never tried any of these but I bet Beyonce the heat Mrs. Carter world tour limited edition would be awesome!!
My favorite fragrance is Flowerbomb. I love it because literally EVERYONE loves the scent and it smells good no matter what season you wear it in. So classic, fresh and pretty.
My absolute favorite fall fragrance is Viktor and Rolf's Flowerbomb. It is such a great smelling fragrance It is an oriental style fragrance that is also floral. The main notes of the perfume are jasmine, rose, orchid, and freesia. It is a very sultry and seductive scent and you definitely attract male attention when wearing this. I have never worn this and not gotten compliments. This fragrance also makes you feel extra feminine and confident, which never hurts! I also have another new fall favorite that came out earlier this year from Lancome--La Vie Est Belle. It smells very similar to Flowerbomb, but is not quite as potent. It is also a floral oriental blend containing mainly iris.
Coco Mademoiselle is my go to fragrance for the fall! Haven't tried any of the ones listed above, will have to keep an eye out next time!
