I love fragrances! I make an effort to smell and test everything that comes out. The new launches have become overwhelming and it can be hard to keep up, even as an Ulta employee. Here are some new and noteworthy scents! Including the notes, my own o...
It’s YSL’s Black Opium (vanilla, coffee, and orange blossom) ☕️ but now with a strawberry! 🍓 it smells divine. So perfect for the upcoming Fall and Winter seasons. When I picture who would wear this, I think of a cool / sweet girl in a lace dress an...
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Pink Glaze Eau de Parfum - Ulta Beauty
This one is new to my Ulta location. My first impression was that it smells floral and sparkling like champagne. Notes are mandarin, gardenia, and cedar wood. Reminds me a little of Dior Jadore or Kylie Jenner Cosmic. I really enjoyed it. When I thin...
Sam Edelman - 1.0 oz Duet Eau de Parfum
I wasn’t expecting to see a new Estée Lauder perfume! I do enjoy the scent, but it’s heavy on the amber. To be completely honest, it has a little bit of the “old lady smell” to me. Notes are Raspberry mousse, Mandarin oil, and Orange blossom. I think...
Estée Lauder - 1.7 oz Glimmer Eau de Parfum Spray - Ulta Beauty
I gotta be honest, nothing wrong with this new cologne, but it’s boring to me. Compared to the other men’s fragrances we have available, this one falls a bit flat. There are many other woody vanilla colognes that are better. YSL’s Myself, Valentino’s...
ARMANI - 3.3 oz I Will Eau de Parfum
I was so excited when I saw this! My husband likes a minty / eucalyptus scent to his products, so this immediately made me think of him. It smells exactly how it sounds- YSL’s amazing cologne but in “iced” version aka minty. I love how they balanced ...
Yves Saint Laurent Y Iced Cologne Eau de Toilette Intense
I love the cool design of the bottles. Velvet brew is my favorite of the 3 new fragrances in the Mood Stones collection. It smells mostly like coffee. But the notes are plum accord, coffee, and hazelnut, patchouli. It’s definitely reminiscent of an e...
1.6 oz Mood Stones Kylie Jenner Collection Velvet Brew ...
Again I love the bottle design! I imagine this looking great on a luxurious minimalist style countertop. The fragrance itself isn’t anything groundbreaking to me. It’s a light floral that reminds me of a cheaper version of Miss Dior. Notes are apples...
1.6 oz Mood Stones Kylie Jenner Collection Blush Wood Eau de ...
This is a bit of a unique fragrance to me. It’s a light clean floral. Notes are bergamot, mandarin blossom, ylang ylang, frangipani, tonka, salted musk. It’s soft and comforting and reminds me of morning dew or maybe clean laundry at the beach. If I ...
1.6 oz Mood Stones Kylie Jenner Collection Cashmere Muse Eau de ...
Floral with notes of strawberry and marshmallow? Yummy! This is a great new perfume. The scent makes me think of someone who typically wears body mists but she’s ready to upgrade herself to perfume. It’s very young and modern but not too sweet either...
3.4 oz Dylan Blush Pink Eau de Parfum - Versace - Ulta Beauty
This one seems to have a lot of people talking about it! It’s unique for being a vanilla that’s not sticky sweet. It doesn’t smell like super strong decadent warm vanilla, it’s more of a milky, light, airy vanilla. The notes are mandarin, freesia dew...
Ellis Brooklyn - 1.7 oz VANILLA RICE Eau de Parfum
Love this new Valentino perfume. This is an instant classic. The red orange nectar combined with a little floral and a little creamy sandalwood to ground it. I can’t think of anything similar to this fragrance. I love that they picked Dakota Johnson ...
