poppy view: Love Spell

Tuesday, November 26, 2013

My favourite scent for a while now,

Love Spell, by Victoria's Secret,

is characterized by its fruity and floral fragrance.

The fruity factor comes from the peachy pop of freshness,

while cherry blossom infuses with the sweet scent

of the flower's pale, pink petals.

My cousin Elaine, who is much younger than me,

was wearing it one day when we met for a family breakfast,

in Toronto, a few years back.

When reading reviews on this fragrance,

I wasn't surprised to discover that it appealed

mostly to a younger generation of women,

(okay, teenagers!)

I guess that's where the 'flirty' comes in,

according to the description on the company's website.

I was feeling rather frisky myself, (with my styling, that is!),

and on a whim, I spritzed on some of

this subtly sweet potion, and styled away!

There are also hints of chamomile and white jasmine
in this magical mist, reminding me of the summery scents

that surround my garden, still floating in the autumn air.

Thanks for visiting!
