Fragrance

By Liz Bekesz

Avoiding the box of Valentine’s chocolates this year? No worries if you want to wear a sweet treat without “wearing” a sweet treat, ahem. Why not explore the dark side, as in chocolate? Though cocoa-dominant scents are by no means scant, they rarely seem to catch on as well as the plethora of popular, vanilla-dominated options. Could the glint of celebrity exposure finally help change this? Perhaps, if Rhianna’s new flanker Rebelle proves as much a hit as her chart-topping singles. Described as a “Gourmand Chypre,” Rebelle is where luscious strawberries and ripe purple plums spark to a jolt of ginger, creating an inviting, sink-your-teeth-worthy harmony of layered dessert top notes; vanilla orchid, heliotrope, and cacao absolute delve into a creamy, nearly whipped frenzy, until finally, patchouli joins rare coffee beans and creamy musks with dreamy amber. It’s a confectionary creation the girls will certainly scream for; a dreamy chocolate cream cloud to live within. Created by Caroline Sabas and Marypierre Julien; available at Macy’s and online at http://www.macys.com.

You say you truly do want to live within a chocolate cloud? The closest you may get to it may be a Scentsy warmer, mated with a wickless Scentsy scent like Mochadoodle (toasted coffee and cocoa beans, sugar, caramel, and heavy cream) or Cocoa Clementine (orange-flavored candy wrapped in milk chocolate). Crave more Scentsy? Explore current trends like Pink Pepper, or try one of the wearable, portable solids, like Scenty Love Story Fine Fragrance, a blend of jasmine and amber embraced by delectable dark chocolate. For more information, visit http://scentsy.net.
