In Love with TOCCA “Brigitte”
I hope everyone had a fabulous turkey day – I know I did! So stuffed though and wishing I hadn’t eaten so much dressing. Must go to gym this weekend. Repeat: Must go to gym this weekend. So while I was getting dressed this morning, the doorbell rang and lo and behold it was my new TOCCA fragrance. Yea – Happy Thanksgiving to me! I had been waiting all week for it to arrive.
The lovely “Brigitte” eau de parfum ($68) just launched from TOCCA Beauty this fall and it smells incredible! Inspired by the supremely lovely screen-siren Brigitte Bardot, it’s a mix of ginger and spice and everything nice. It’s the perfect girly-girl scent – picture a spice market in Marseille or a long weekend trip in Morocco. Plus, the bottle is just as pretty, so you’ll want to display it on your counter with pride.
Here are the fragrance notes in case you’re curious:
Top notes: Ginger, Rhubarb, Papaya
Middle notes: Moroccan Rose, Iris, Saffron
Middle notes: Moroccan Rose, Iris, Saffron
Bottom notes: Sandalwood, Musk
Of course the top notes are the most vibrant, so you’ll get a nice fruity/spicy scent. At the same time, you’ll still be able to smell the fresh flower undertones (love!) with just a hint of the heavier sandalwood and musk that gives it a nice fall flavor – just right!
If you’re a fan of Sephora, ask them for a free spritz of it when you’re there. Ah…love at first spritz…
