Diptyque

The one bougie brand I love to splurge on!

This is my favorite fragrance from them! Sweet and sophisticated. If you like MFK Baccarat Rouge 540, you will love this! The profile is a bit different as it does swing a bit more floral, but I actually prefer this! A must buy and staple!

Floral scent with an undertone of gasoline, a little goes a long way, but surprisingly beautiful! If you like the smell of pumping your own gas, with a pleasant mix of floral, this is for you!

Floral in just the right amount and just a touch juicy. Who has smelled a gooseberry before or even knows what one is? I sure did not, but this scent is lovely! Kate enough floral and sweet to be super feminine and light. Perfect for spring!
