Recently, we did a giveaway on Instagram for Parfums de Coeur Body Fantasies Body Mist in travel size versions. Three winners were chosen randomly and they were very happy.
I started paying attention to the scents behind these attractive little bottles, and decided to write a review about them.

1. Body Fantasies Fresh White Musk is a mix of soft musk and fresh white florals. I notice some of our customers buy these by the dozen. It is light, fresh, and clean. A woody scent that is not so powdery. Perfect scent for after showers. 
2. Body Fantasies Cotton Candy is a playful and delicious blend of spun sugar and creamy vanilla combined with notes of tender strawberries and clean musk. Is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women.
3. Body Fantasies Twilight Mist is an oriental (mysterious and mesmerizing) fragrance for women. Top notes are Mandarin, Coconut, and Fresh Plum; middle (Heart) notes are Magnolia, Tuberose, Tiger, Orchid, and Violet; base (Dry) notes are Sandalwood, Creamy Musk, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla. I personally love this fragrance since I am more seduced by oriental scents.
4. Body Fantasies Pink Sweet Pea Fantasy is a mix of florals and sparkling fruits. 
5. Body Fantasies Vanilla is a floral fruity Gourmand fragrance with mix of creamy vanilla, jasmine, fresh apples, and white musk.
6. Last, but not least...Body Fantasies Japanese Cherry Blossom is a charming fragrance that inspire romance with its blend of warm oriental notes of fresh cherry blossom petals, rose and amber. 

If you ask me, my favorites are those with oriental and gourmand notes like Twilight mist and Japanese Cherry Blossom, but as comforting fragrances I would easily use Fresh White Musk and Vanilla. 

This perfume was my comfort fragrance for many years, until it was harder to get in local stores. Then, I replaced it with Ombre Rose L'Original, which was the closest scent I could find in the stores. When I opened my Perfume business in 2012 the very first fragrance I wanted to include in my inventory was Ciel. But, why? You might asked. Well, because I loved it, and the scent stayed in my mind for long after disappearing from store shelves.

My favorite season is Autumn, and that was the time when I used to wear this fragrance the most. In fact, I still do, and I use it during spring time as well. This fragrance is comfort in a bottle, and I truly receive many compliments when I wear it. People continually ask me: what is it? What is that soft and beautiful fragrance? I simply answer: It is Ciel, a Heaven scent!

I should say Ciel is an elegant, soft and sweet Oriental powdery fragrance - an all in one fragrance for me. It is just perfect for my skin and personality. I love powdery fragrances with comfy amber and vanilla scents.

If you are not fond of Powdery (dry) fragrances stay away from Ciel. Even though it is not a strong sweet fragrance, but a soft and very unique powdering scent, some people might reject it.

A unique perfume, undeniably. Ciel's nature is caressing, combining the iris relaxing and calming effects with Ispahan rose, to comfort the soul. It's oriental powdery blend contains the mysterious vanilla, an evocative scent that encourages self-confidence, sensuality, positive moods, and soothing dreams. It's classified as a flowery fragrance for blending Aspahan rose and the uplifting and inspiring freesia. All mentioned notes are blended with amber, oak moss and mandarin.

Simple, classic and timeless, Ciel perfume was launched in 1997 by Jacques Saint Pres, and it is still in production. It is recommended for casual wear. Longevity varies from 5 to 7 hours.

Beautiful by Estee Lauder is called "the fragrance of a thousand flowers"…is a light and elegant mix of violets, lilies, roses, lilacs, marigold, tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and orange blossoms. The floral notes are elegantly combined with woodsy and warm notes like amber, sandalwood and vetiver, and brightened with melons, peaches and plums, all fresh citrusy notes. Beautiful is a rich and luxurious fragrance, but also possesses a touch of sweetness that makes it a romantic fragrance.
