Summer Fragrances

Most of my current perfumes are pretty heavy, night time perfumes. So for this summer, I got a couple of light, day time scents. Found some good deals at the Estee Lauder outlet store a couple of weeks ago and picked up Peace, Love, & Juicy Couture and Shi by Alfred Sung. 

Peace, Love, & Juicy Couture (0.5 oz) 

This is a tiny bottle, but I usually pick up small bottles because I've never finished a bottle of perfume. I got a sample of it a while back from Sephora so I knew I love this scent. So I was extremely happy to pick up a bottle. It is light, floral and fruity.  Based on basenote.net, the notes are:

• Top Notes
• Meyer lemon blossom, Hyacinth, Apple, Blackcurrant 
• 
  Middle Notes
• Sambac jasmine, Star magnolia, Malibu poppy, Honeysuckle, Linden blossom 
• 
  Base Notes
• Iris, Patchouli, Musk

I can pick up a little bit of apple and jasmine, but I cant tell what the rest of it is. I love the base notes, definitely can smell the musk and iris. It lasts all day on me.

Shi by Alfred Sung (1.7 oz)

This is a watery scent, very much like the once super popular Cool Water.

• Top Notes
• Water Lily, Fig Leaves 
• 
  Middle Notes
• Orange Blossom, Fragipani 
• 
  Base Notes
• Water Musks, Silver Birch

I liked it at first and I thought this would be a very good everyday scent. But I was wrong... This one does not agree with my body chemistry. It turns to a very baby powder scent after a couple hours of wear, and I do not like baby powder scent. Fades away to nothing around the 4 hour mark. I think I will only wear this on days I am just out doing short errand runs or something. Pretty disappointed in it.

My boyfriend got the male version of Shi: Hei by Alfred Sung (haha get it? Shi and Hei?). Hei smells great on him and lasts all day. I don't know if Hei is just better quality or if Shi just doesn't agree with me. Oh well!
