Sephora’s Classics, part three

by Amy on September 14th, 2007

Yet another collection of some stylish, wearable scents. Stella McCartney’s confection of rose and amber is what I reach for on crisp fall days when I want to feel wrapped in comfort and romance. I have also gotten many compliments on Hanae Mori’s Butterfly - it’s like a grown-up version of strawberry shortcake (and a real man-pleaser!)


Stella McCartney Stella, $13 - $84 Unleash the power of purple with this royal assortment of rose, peony, mandarin, and amber. Not your average floral fragrance, this designer perfume plays off the dynamic between femininity and fashion.	Hanae Mori Hanae Mori Butterfly, $20 - $85 Featuring a cornucopia of delectables like strawberries, bilberries, black currants, almonds, and pralines, Butterfly is a savory scent for all occasions. Remove the wing-like cap and let your senses take flight.	Thierry Mugler Angel, $22 - $149 Dubbed the first “gourmand” fragrance, this dreamy perfume’s star has been rising ever since its debut in the early 1990s. Fashioned with heavenly notes of bergamot, honey, vanilla, caramel, and chocolate, the celestial scent is seductively scrumptious.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her, $32 - $85 A stimulating musk with sweet hints of honey flower, orange blossom, and vanilla, For Her envelops the skin in a warm and velvety sensuality. Much like the designer’s fashion creations, this pulsating perfume is sleek and seductive.	Kenzo FlowerbyKenzo, $50 - $85 Leave a trail of flower petals everywhere you go with this soft scent. Rose, violet, and a touch of vanilla bring a refreshing rush of nature to even the most cosmopolitan environments - and the poppy-embossed bottle brings beauty to any vanity.	Prada Prada, $38 - $95 Evocatively provocative, this contemporary classic whirls various citrus oils with mandarin flower, musk, and rose essences for a captivatingly spicy scent. Complete with a traditional atomizer, this fashionable fragrance looks as timeless as it smells.

Vera Wang The Fragrance, $45 - $87 This modern bouquet of flowers packs a passionate kiss of Bulgarian rose, calla lily, mandarin flower, gardenia, and lotus for an utterly romantic scent that will make you want to say “I do.”
