Lady Gaga's Eau de Gaga 001 Perfume

With a celebrity like pop singer-songwriter, Lady Gaga, you never know what to expect when she comes on stage.  The same is true with the release of her second unisex woody-floral fragrance, Eau de Gaga 001, that was done in collaboration with Coty Beauty and her Haus Laboratories with perfumer, Ursula Wandel.

Trying to find the right words to describe this scent is difficult because of the way this one develops.  This scent has an explosive citrus start from opening notes of lime and bergamot that come off strong and forceful with a masculine edge.  You don’t know exactly where this fragrance is taking you until it warms further.  

It is in the heart with notes of white violet that there is a subtle blending of floral sweetness that gives wonderful contrast to that harsh electrifying lime.  At this point, the combination of notes becomes more feminine with a fresher sweet vibe to it.

As it dries down in the base, this fragrance changes yet again as the leather notes kick, making it more unisex with a raw sexy appeal that might pleasantly surprise your senses.

I don’t think this fragrance will be for everyone, but I did like Eau de Gaga 001 for how different it was. Do give this fragrance a chance to see how it develops with your body’s own chemistry before you rule it out. Otherwise, you just might miss something that could help single you out from the crowd.

L'Occitane's Arlesienne Eau de Toilette and Beauty Milk

L’Occitane en Provence’s newest fragrance line of Arlésienne  recently was launched in time for holiday gift giving.  To begin with, the Eau de Toilette ($50) is as wondrous and full of sparkle as the holiday season itself.  This bright rose scent speaks to the heart with its untold bliss and delicate beauty that you are instantly affected. Though as sparkling and sweet as this floral may be, it also has an underlying mysterious allure that sets it apart from other rose fragrances.

With top notes of saffron flower and mandarin, the fragrance washes over your senses like a celebration with its lively, contagious joy. This specific combination keeps the opening dazzling with more freshness than sweetness with just a bit of added peppery allure from the saffron flower.

The heart is like unwrapping the perfect gift with how beautifully the rose and notes of lily of the valley are unveiled.  The fragrance is so elegantly romantic and gentile to become so captivating that you can’t stop admiring it or the wearer, if you tried.

As this fragrance dries down, there is a sexy mystery brewing that can’t be rushed  from notes of violet, sandalwood and tonka bean, which intrigue as well as invite seduction with enticing finesse.

The Arlésienne Body Milk ($25) is another divine way to wear and enhance this rose fragrance.  This fragrant, velvety emulsion of rose, sweet violet and saffron keeps skin petal-soft and just as blooming as a fresh rose. 

The last product that I received was the Arlésienne Solid Perfume ($12), which is a must for traveling or packing in your handbag.

Rose lovers, I implore you to get a whiff of Arlésienne and buy.  This is a must have fragrance and perfect for you and holiday gifting.  Feel free to thank me anytime!
