invoking reactions of the beauty nature from mr. glossarie can be near impossible, so when i get so much as a “why do you smell so good?!” i know i’ve got something blog worthy on my hands (well, more literally, dabbed on my wrists).
meet the adorably sweet and simple leila lou by rosie jane cosmetics. i’m completely hooked on this perfume oil with its notes of pear blossom, fresh-cut grass, and tangerine. i never remember to wear perfume, but i’ve been religiously rolling this scent on my wrists in the mornings and smiling whenever i catch a waft of it throughout the day. it’s that good. there’s something innocent and romantic about the blend and it’s absolutely perfect for summer. the fragrance oil has become a fast favorite because i find that they last longer on me, but i’ll fill you in on a little secret:
i’ve been spritzing the eau de toilette on my mane message hair ties and headbands. it’s a genius way to wear a hint of fragrance (whether they’re on your wrist or in your hair) – even while working out! the cotton elastic grabs onto the scent and keeps me smelling subtly sweet. why didn’t i think of this sooner?
all in all, it’s a love for me.
if you’ve just got to have a little leila lou in your life, you can shop the line here.
This perfume is my favorite thing, ever. Obsessed.
it was your post that encouraged me to reach out to rosie jane! i’m in love :)
I have been wanting to try this. I love perfume oils, they do not produce that alcohol smell. It all started with Kai, which has been a favorite for years. It sounds lovely.
it’s so pretty. i haven’t smelled kai, but i’m adding it to my list!
def have to try it! and the hair ties idea is genius!
you will love it! and the bowl of hair ties on my dresser keeps our bedroom smelling nice now :)
Ooh, perfume oil. Such a good idea. If I hadn’t already found my signature scent (DKNY pure) I’d definetly go for this. The hairtie thing is great, I also tend to spritz perfume on the back, and sides of my neck because the smell tends to linger there longer.
those are great tricks! i told myself i would find my signature scent in 2012 and ditch the rest, i dare say i might have done it :)
I am going to start spritzing my hair ties. Good idea!
so fun! and practical – who knew?! :)
I wish it was sold somewhere where I could smell it before buying (like Sephora).
hi meagan! here’s the list of retailers: http://leilalou.com/retailers.html i bet you can find a spot near you to test it out.
Thanks for the help. None in my state (Indiana) unfortunately. Oh well!
oh sad, i’m sorry!
Thanks for a wonderful post! It has been a great change of pace for me as i am always on the lookout for a whole new perspective on different subjects. Keep up with your hard work and dedication.
