Marc Jacobs Pomegranate Splash
$68.00 by Marc Jacobs at Neiman Marcus
Summertime brings about an array of beauty challenges. From the sweat destroying your hairstyle and your makeup to the need for layers upon layers of SPF, it feels like a gal can never catch a break. The worst summertime offense? How the heat and humidty affects your fragrance.
At first, you want to layer on the scent so you can be delicious all day, but when combined with the heat and humidity, the scent can very easily overpower your neighbor on the subway and then vanish before you can make it into the office. Who wants to waste $85 bottles of fragrance when you don't even get to enjoy it?
Fortunately, Marc Jacobs understands where I'm coming from. The signature splashes, released every year in beautiful, oversized glass bottles are the perfect remedy. Plus, the sheer volume (10 oz) of the fragrance gives you a reason to buy one of those beautiful atomizers you've always dreamed about, but have never had an excuse to purchase.
This season's collection is based on one's experience at a patisserie and "enjoying the rich and beautifully displayed sweets". (I love how the inspiration doesn't say anything about consuming them). The collection includes Marc Jacobs Apple, Marc Jacobs Biscotti and my personal favorite, Marc Jacobs Pomegranate.
Pomegranate scents can tend to lean a bit sweet, however Marc Jacbos Pomegranate is the perefect combination of sweet and fresh, with madarin flowers, bergamont, lemon chiffon, rhubarb, violet and a vanilla musk to compliment the pomegranate.
After reading the notes, is anyone else dying for baked goods?
