CC Loves... These Chic Scents!

Darlings, CC shares in today's post her favorite fragrances for body and hair!

Balmain Hair Perfume, at saksfifthavenue.com, a sophisticated, delicate mist that boosts the senses and delivers a fresh and harmonious fragrance with notes of star anise, pinewood, jasmine, orange blossom, lilac amber, vanilla and sandalwood. The perfume is infused with silk protein and argan elixir to nourish, repair and protect the hair, providing care and a long lasting, gorgeous scent.

Gucci Bloom Eau de Toilette, at gucci.com, characterized by a trio of Jasmine Bud extract, Tuberose and Rangoon Creeper. Further enriching the scent, a honeyed sweetness and green citrus facet is captured through the addition of Neroli accord—its delicate freshness and ethereal radiance embody the glowing twist on Bloom’s white floral signature.

MAYA No. 2. Fresh-cut roses blend seamlessly with warm, musky undertones, creating an irresistibly sexy fragrance perfect for nights filled with romance. Forget the past; this is the rose of the new era– fresh, bold and beautifully seductive. 
Top Note: Ambrette – A musky note with a hint of sweetness to captivate from the first dab.
Middle Note: Geranium and Moroccan Rose – The heart of the perfume, where floral meets sophistication, creating a vibrant yet delicate scent experience.
Base Note: Precious Woods, Amber, Musk – A warm, deep base that lingers, adding a touch of mystery and allure to the airy florals.

Le Labo Another 13, at lelabofragrances.com. This scent, like all Le labo fragrances, is unisex. It's composed of ambroxyde, a synthetic animal musk, making it an addictive potion blended with other carefully selected ingredients such as jasmine and moss. CC pairs it with Le Labo’s most (in)famous scent, Santal 33.

ORIBE Travel Cote D'Azur Eau De Parfum, at fwrd.com. CC keeps one in her gym bag and another in her travel kit! This spray for hair and body features top notes of fresh lemon, black currant, Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian orange, paired with quieter hints of white butterfly jasmine and the creamy warmth of sandalwood.
Which of these fabulous fragrances smell scrumptious to you?

CC Loves... Mirina Collections!

Darlings, how amazing are these Mirina Collections necklaces? Most are sets of two pretty pieces layered on top of each other for a truly luxe effect. The shop also offers ravishing rings, elegant earrings, and sweet sunglasses, but the chic statement necklaces are their claim to fame. Be sure to check out @mirinacollections on Instagram do you keep up with all the gorgeousness. CC is officially a "Mirina Girl" and loving it! Just be aware that most items are made to order, so it takes a few weeks for shipping. All items at mirinacollections.com.

CC has this first duo and absolutely adores it! Each piece can be worn separately, or layered as a superb statement necklace.
