Pacifica has launched Island Vanilla, a new fragrance (there is already a Vanilla Vera Cruz fragrance in the line):
Sexy, easy to wear, and lovely to layer…
I usually prefer to wear “simple” and light fragrances in warm weather; I don’t want lots of notes percolating on my skin and inside my nostrils on a hot day — that’s annoying. I visited Los Angeles in February when the weather there was glorious: sunny, 78 degree days, cool evenings, and skies so clear you could see stars (the celestial type) at night. I packed several new fragrances for the trip, and it was fun to fast-forward to ‘summer’ for a week (it was still 25 degrees at home in Seattle with at least another month of awful weather to come). Two of the new “summery” perfumes I tested in L.A. stood out: Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar and Six Scents Series Three Beau Bow.
Indian Coconut Nectar smells almost exactly how Pinkberry (another “hit” from my L.A. trip) coconut frozen yoghurt tastes, with flavors/scents of cool, yet musky, coconut (slightly “green” and tart-unripe ), combined with creamy vanilla and perhaps a squirt of lime juice. Indian Coconut Nectar perfume is simple, but it smells delicious. I can’t resist the scent of coconut during summer but if you dislike coconut, you’ll hate Indian Coconut Nectar — it’s all about the coconut…
What is it: A 50 ml bottle of Estee Lauder Wild Elixir + a 50 ml bottle of Estee Lauder Beautiful Eau de Toilette + a 30 ml bottle of Pacifica California Star Jasmine. Plus, your choice of one bottle from the Le Labo + Anthropologie collection. I have decanted small samples from each (I keep the samples, you get the bottles).
How do I get it: For a chance to win, leave a comment telling me that you live in the US. Also, please us either a) what movie you think will win the 2011 Oscars or b) what celebrity you think will get a perfume deal in 2011 or c) the name of the last fragrance you tried and loved.
