Nanette by Nanette Lepore

Nanette by Nanette Lepore is one of my favorite scents and I always have a bottle in my stash. It’s easy to wear, always appropriate, and it isn’t likely something you’ll smell on many other people. Not because it isn’t good, it just isn’t popular or the easiest thing to find. I tend to wear this with sweat pants on lazy days for a bit of a pick me up, or when I know I’ll be in a smaller space with other people, and don’t want to wear anything that my offend or irritate others. It’s a very subtle, casual scent.

Nanette is a floral with top notes of pink pepper, rose petals and neroli, middle notes of rose absolute, violet and lily-of-the-valley, and amber, incense and hot cedar wood at its base. The bottle is made of heavy crystal, but the top is plastic. On me this lasts about 7 hours. Depending on where you’re shopping, the 1 ounce (30 ml) bottle of the eau de parfum is very affordable, which is nice especially since it can last many many months (depending on how often you use it of course).

This isn’t a fragrance that I would quickly recommend to younger ladies who love sweet or bold floral scents. Nannette is different. It’s soft, elegant and pretty. If you can find it at a counter, I recommend taking a whiff and leaving with a sample, then letting me know what you think.

That's all for now. Talk to you in the next one!
