Lust List: 5 Scents Perfect for Spring.

/

It is time to lighten up in the scent department now that spring is officially here. While it has been feeling like the heart of summer here in Massachusetts, I am trying to remember that is is still only March. That means it is not yet time for my favorite tropical fragrances, so something light, floral and airy is what I am looking for.

The following five scents have me thinking about making the switch now.

Last Minute Gift Idea: Justin Bieber's SOMEDAY Perfume.

/

Yes, you read that correctly. Justin Bieber. I never thought I would be writing about Justin Bieber. But I am, and I am highly recommending a last minute holiday gift idea for any teen or young woman in your life here, as my daughter and her friends are in love with the new Justin Bieber fragrance SOMEDAY. It seems to be on everyone's wish list.

Yes, Justin Bieber is a huge star. He has a #1 album in 17 countries. He is the undisputed king of social media, with truly electrifying stats: over 1 billion views on YouTube… over 27 million Facebook fans… and over 15 million followers on Twitter. Now he has turned his attention to fragrance. Justin's inspired approach to his first scent showcases his desire to connect with his fans, and to incorporate his life experiences into his work. He is the first male artist to develop a fragrance for his female fans first, deepening the relationship he has with them. Teens swoon for him everywhere and now they are longing for SOMEDAY.

“SOMEDAY is the idea that we can change the world, make our dreams come true, and even be with the one person that means everything.” said Justin Bieber. “Giving back has always been incredibly important to me, but let’s be honest… I wanted to create a fragrance for my female fans that I can’t get enough of… that I want to get next to and I can’t stay away from.  I know they’ll love the scent, but also the opportunity to support some amazing charities. It's a gift that gives back.”

 My love for this whole perfume endeavor comes from the fact that all of the profits from the fragrance will be donated to charity; Pencils of Promise and the Make-A-Wish-Foundation. He did this by partnering with Give Back Brands. Nice going JB!

The Fragrance
Justin wanted SOMEDAY to be more than just a fragrance: it is pure energy, a state-of-mind that inspires and is the reason we never say never.  It is full of the passion and confidence that drove Justin to the top of the charts.  SOMEDAY is playful, fresh yet flirty and anything but ordinary… a fragrance Justin personally finds irresistible.

Top Notes: Mandarin, William Pear and Wild Berries
Mid Notes: Jasmine, Water Lily, Creamy Florals and Coconut Orchid
Dry Down: Sandalwood, Vanilla and Soft Musk

The Design

Fans will have the chance to take home a piece of Justin’s heart with SOMEDAY and its iconic design. The bottle incorporates the colorful energy for which Justin has become known in an unforgettable, sculptural form. Layers of hearts create the cap, bursting from the glass bottle and exploding into your world. Playful, thought-provoking, fresh yet flirty, and anything but ordinary, the bottle is affixed with a removable crystal heart lock and key from Justin, so fans can carry his heart around with them wherever they go.
