Crazylibellule and the Poppies – Forty, Flirty & Fabulous

CrazyStick Cologne

Crazylibellule CrazySticks are a really fun and inexpensive way to grow a fragrance wardrobe. The scents are fresh and fun, and are easy to carry along and reapply if need be. Or do as I like to do and layer different CrazySticks to make a personal scent.

Their newest CrazyStick is CrazyStick Cologne ($16.00). It is inspired by L’eau de CrazyCologne. It is packaged like other CrazySticks, in a little ecological cardboard case and is decorated with a sweet landscape garden scenery where words and flowers tangle.

The formula is different in this one. Instead of a creamy white solid, CrazyStick Cologne is formulated has a translucent gel-like consistency and melts on the skin.

The notes are: orange blossom, plum, peach, rose, black pepper, lily of the valley, musk, precious wood, orange, cardamom, vanilla and jasmine.

This is a beautiful floral that is nice for special occasions like a wedding. Or wear it for everyday if a lively floral is your scent of choice. It is not too sweet, and is fairly light.

You can find this scent at www.beautyhabit.com and www.b-glowing.com. Enjoy!

Crazylibellule and the Poppies Collection Les Garconnes

Crazylibellule and the poppies is a wonderful French perfume company. They have created crazysticks, a lovely little solid perfume that I have reviewed before. It is a cute little tube that is very portable and fun to apply. I love to reapply them during the day to perk up my mood.

They have recently introduced a new collection of 7 crazysticks called the Collection Les Garçonnes. This collection is a tribute to the independent and seductive women of the roaring twenties. Each crazystick has a unique fragrance and contains a traditionally “male” note in each one, such as leather and tobacco. The notes for each are:

Hommage a Gabrielle — Elemi crystals, peony, Indian jasmine, ozonic flower, wooded incense, vanilla, cedar and leather.

Pompon Gardenia — Gardenia, heliotrope, watermelon, lime, lily of the valley, amber wood and mild tobacco.

Josephine Jonquille — Jonquil-jasmine, lemon, ginger, cardamon, tiare flowers, patchouli and black chocolate.

Jeanne Voyage — Sicilian bergamot, Spanish mandarin, iris of Florence, musk, violet leaves, heliotrope, amber wood, rose sap and Java nutmeg.

Chere Louise — Rose, iris, hyacinth, saffron, storax, patchouli and guaiacum wood.

Tamara Charleston — Green mandarin, gardenia, sambac jasmine, lisylang, freshly cut hay, peach, amber and absinthe.

Rose a Saigon — Rose, jasmine, mango, ylang-ylang, passion fruit, patchouli, vetiver, and guaiacum wood.

These are such unique blends of fragrances. I really love the Rose fragrance. I am not usually into rose scents, but the blend is wonderful. You can tell that mango and passion fruit are infused in, because it is a bit sweet, but the spicier notes such as patchouli and vetiver deepen the fruity floral. I also enjoy Tamara, which is a very sensual scent that would be perfect for fall.
