It has been so hot in Kansas City lately. Yesterday was almost 105 — yikes! Today has cooled (?) down to the 90’s. In this hot weather, I love to wear fresh and light fragrances. Below are the ones I have been using and enjoying.

Cartier Baiser Vole ($69 USD 1 oz) Cartier Baiser Vole is an Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner. An original creation from Cartier’s in-house perfumer, Baiser Volé, meaning ‘Stolen Kiss,’ is the expression of love according to Cartier. A story of pure passion told through a strikingly feminine and rare flower: the lily. Baiser Volé is a pure floral fragrance, reflecting all its perfection for the first time: fresh, floral and powdery.
I received a small sample of this in a gift with purchase. I have been wearing it and I fear that my sample is almost out! It is such a wonderful clean, light floral scent. I would wear it every day if I could.
Purchase this at fine fragrance stores like Sephora.
Enjoy a new summer scent!
Notes: Lily Petals, Green Lily Leaves. Style: Fresh. Floral. Powdery.
