Back to School Fragrances
School is back in session and if part of your back to school shopping is to get your hands on a fantastic fragrance!
Men's Fragrances
This fresh and sporty scent is great for coming out of the summer months. With notes of bergamot and woods this has a nice aromatic blend of spices too that make it special and still very wearable. I love the starfruit note in here, adds a nice tartness to the wood and citrus! It's an easy daytime fragrance and a great scent to wear to class!
This classic from Jean-Claude Ellena is a spectacular fragrance loved by many. An opening of citrus is met with pepper at the heart and woods and patchouili at the base. This is a fantastic scent that is appropriate for professional settings. You will smell classic and smart, as well as fresh and attractive.
Women's Fragrances
This newer fragrance from Gucci has already attracted a lot of fans. Its beautiful mix of citrus and green notes with a gorgeous heart of white florals. The vanilla, orris root and sandalwood at the base really set this fragrance apart as a whimsical and dreamy white floral feast. This is a beautifully feminine creation and a great fragrance to make a first impression with new classmates!
Fresh and tropical, Bonjour Senorita is a beautiful treat. Coconut, citrus, guava and mango set the stage for this playful and refreshing perfume. This one has flown under a lot of people's radar, but overall its a beautiful and youthful blend of sweet and zesty notes that creates a perfume that is lively, and fun. Great to start school and to help you remember the fun you had in the summer.
Back to School Survival Kit
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and parents are rejoicing because it’s finally back-to-school time! Back-to-school shopping is not only about clothes and notebooks; you’re going to need some great beauty and grooming products to complement the post-summer-you! We’ve got everything you need to help you make a great first impression.
Back to School Must Haves:
A New Fragrance
Can’t start a new school year without a new scent. We suggest something upbeat yet not overwhelming like Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker for women, and Versace Man Eau Fraiche for men.
A Great Face Wash
Back to early morning wake ups and late night study sessions. You’ve got to have a good face wash to keep your face looking fresh. Clarins Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser is great for sensitive skin and will wash the day away.
Blemish Fighter
Hey, we’re all human. We know that the stress of deadlines and exams can sometimes lead to break outs. Peter Thomas Roth is here to save the day with their Acne Treatment Masque.
Easy At Home Manicure
You don’t have to pay big bucks at the salon to get beautifully designed nails. OPI has gorgeous patterned strips that easily adhere to your nail. Talk about a DIY win!
Hand Cream
The ultimate purse/locker/dorm essential. You know once you break out the hand cream, suddenly everyone around you wants some too. Crabtree and Evelyn has some great options including English Honey & Peach Blossom, and classic Lavender.
Hair Products
Keep your hair looking good from your first class to the football game under the lights. Styling creams are non-crunchy and keep your do looking shiny and new. Try It’s A 10 Miracle Styling Cream or Deva Curl Styling Cream.
Self Tanner
Don’t let your summer tan fade away during afternoons spent in the library. Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanner has got you covered – literally!
Bubble Bath
Because let’s face it- after a long day of class, papers and studying all you want is a relaxing bubble bath. With options like Orange Pineapple, Coconut Frosting and Melon Daiquiri, Philosophy has made it hard to choose just one.
