Found: The All-Time Best Summer Fragrance

From the time I was in high school up until a few months ago, I was a one-perfume kind of girl—and that one perfume was the now discontinued Stila Creme Bouquet (R.I.P).  After I got through the initial heartbreak that came along with bidding farewell, I began to accept that I would simply have to find another favorite fragrance. 

Well, who knew there were so many delicious-smelling perfumes out there?  Over the past few months, I have added a few new ones to my repertoire—most recently, Tuscan Blood Orange by Pacifica.  I discovered this stuff at a little dried-flower store in Pittsburgh last weekend, and while I am usually more of a fan of floral fragrances, I love this one because it is citrusy but not like eau-de-Lysol citrusy.  It's very sweet—it almost smells like it has notes of vanilla, raspberry and mango, with a little bit of spice.  Whether it has all of that stuff or not, I have decided that I will be using this fragrance non-stop all summer.

After doing some investigating, I found that it is carried locally at Whole Foods Market in Boca (1400 Glades Road, 561/447-0000), along with a bunch of other Pacifica perfumes (they have a whole line of more than 20 fragrances in liquid and solid forms, candles, lotions and other things).

Oh, and I should probably mention that Pacifica products are completely eco-friendly, made from sustainable materials and with recyclable packaging.  All the more reason to fall in love with them.
