LOOK by Vera Wang.

As I am not the finest when it comes to fragrance, I thought I would ask my sister, The Fragrance Fanatic,  Cindi, what one of her favorites of this season was. One of the first fragrance names out of her mouth was LOOK by Vera Wang. Having this beauty myself, I opened the bottle for the first time and had to agree. I really like this clean, lightly floral scent - like a cold floral, not too Spring or Summer here. Beautiful!

From Cindi...

"If you are a fan of Vera Wang designs and her other fragrance collections - you will completely enjoy her latest creation - LOOK Eau de Parfum. Like Vera Wang’s fashions, her new fragrance represents a measured study in texture, color, silhouette, and proportion. LOOK Eau de Parfum is a bold and captivating scent! If you like a clean scent with hints of floral notes - then your senses will thank you as well as your loved ones...

The complex texture and notes makes this fragrance stand-out from the other Vera Wang fragrance collections. The bold, clean lines of the bottle hint at the type of Eau de Parfum LOOK is. LOOK opens with scents of mandarin and watery greens that are layered with notes of lychee and golden delicious apple (very different!). Next, the floral bouquet of lily, freesia, and jasmine envelopes your senses. The bottom notes are filled with the richness of vanilla and skin musk as touches of oakmoss and patchouli complete this fragrance.

The LOOK Fragrance Collection includes both an Eau de Parfum Spray and Parfum Elixir, Sheer Body Lotion, Velvet Body Creme, and Satin Shower Creme."
