Perfumes for all ages + DKNY Giveaway

I’ve been trying to find the perfect perfume for a few months now.  There are some perfumes that I reach for everyday purposes and others that I use for special occasions and for date nights.  I was recently sent some perfumes to try out c/o Estee Lauder and Aramis Communications.

After testing these out, I felt like each would be good for different people and for various occasions.
Let’s look at pure DKNY: This one is my absolute favorite.

Information:

• Sparkling citrus, crisp green basil (naturally derived and sourced from Africa), notes of fresh floral
• Fresh & bright
• The bottle is made from 100% recyclable glass; the box is made from sustainably harvested paper
• Allure magazine Best of Beauty winner!

Perfect gift for: YOURSELF or your friends.

The next one on the list is Donna Karan Cashmere Mist.  This one is rather interesting.  It doesn’t spray like normal perfumes.  This is a whipped perfume.  I love this because you won’t have to waste any on your bathroom walls!  You don’t need a lot of this one.  A little pump goes a long way.

Information:

• Feels so soft once you apply it to your skin.  Honestly, it feels like cashmere.
• Notes of bergamot, jasmine, suede, cashmere accord, sandalwood, amber, musk, and vanilla

Perfect gift for: your mother.  I think this perfume has a much more mature smell than the others.  However, I still love wearing this for events when I want to appear more mature and sophisticated.

The last one on the list is Coach Poppy Flower.

Information:

• Very whimsical and youthful smell
• Mixture of fruity with floral
• Notes of citrus, lychee, cassis, water lily, and jasmine

Perfect gift for:  your younger sister.  Or really any younger friend that you may have.  It’s too floral for my liking, and personally I think it’s a bit overwhelming for someone my age.

Now that you read all that… on the the good stuff:

I’ve been an athlete my entire life. I started dancing in elementary school and even did wiffleball for a few years. Now, that I am no longer living in the dance studio, I found a new love for running.  After working out, I (obviously) shower and put on a good smelling perfume or body spray.  But there have been times when I was so pressed on time that I couldn’t go home and shower.

I was never a huge fan on scents that were very floral or musky.  I tend to reach for more clean scents.  Something about mixing sweat with flowers just didn’t do it for me.  I haven’t been able to find the perfect clean scent until recently.  Enter in pureDKNY verbena.
