First and foremost, to all loyal readers – I am so sorry for the lack of updates on my part! Rebecca and I have been so busy with work lately, and I am also taking some fairly time consuming classes this semester. Expect more updates, though. I miss the perfume world.
Having said that, onto the review!
Can Can by Paris Hilton
NOTES: Clementine, Flowers, Cassis, Nectarine, Orchid, Orange Blossom, Soft Musk, Wood, Amber
Can Can was the first Paris Hilton fragrance that I ever considered buying, but ironically, it was the last fragrance that I actually went ahead and bought. I would always sample it in the store, though, and I always had mixed feelings on it… sometimes I loved it, sometimes I hated it.
CLASSIFICATION: gourmand, ever so slightly powdery
AGE GROUP: perfect for any age

L, a L.A.M.B. fragrance by Gwen Stefani
NOTES (as listed on fragrancenet.com): water hyacinth, violet, fresh pear, white freesia, jasmine, muguet, sweet pea, rose, orange blossom, heliotrope, peach
I was visiting with my sister for the weekend, she was finishing up getting ready to go out while I browsed her new magazine selection. I came upon an advertisement for the (at the time) new fragrance from Gwen Stefani, and immediately became excited. I admired many of the pieces from her fashion line L.A.M.B., and expected this fragrance to be ultra-fun, ultra-flirty, and ultra-sassy. We went to Nordstrom’s right away so that I could investigate further…
