From left: David Yurman Delicate Essence, Fresh Essence and Exotic Essence Eau de Toilette
Ready to set aside that raspberry body splash and try something new? How about the elegantly feminine fragrances featured in today’s giveaway?
Sponsored by high-end jewelry line David Yurman (they also have a line of perfume and body products) and appropriately inspired by gemstones, the new spring scents take tourmaline, peridot and citrine to a scent-sory level. Designed to be worn alone or layered, the David Yurman Essence Collection features a trio of fragrances in contemporary, elegant attire.
Learn more about the David Yurman line on the company’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
Delicate, my favorite of the three Essence fragrances (Exotic, Fresh and Delicate), doesn’t just benefit from being pink (PINK!), it reminds me of something Calvin Klein might create — fresh and light, it has a certain sex appeal to it, yet isn’t overtly “in your face.”
Your new spring scent collection is right around the corner…
Two (2) lucky ladies (or gents) will each win the following prizes:
- One (1) David Yurman Delicate Essence Eau de Toilette, a romantic and feminine scent with notes of pink pepper, lotus blossom and sparkling orange (3.4 oz.; an $85 value)
- One (1) David Yurman Fresh Essence Eau de Toilette, a playful and crisp scent with notes of sparkling apple, cassis, red fruit and fresh greens (3.4 oz.; an $85 value)
- One (1) David Yurman Fresh Exotic Essence Eau de Toilette, a mysterious and sensual scent with notes of sparkling mandarin, casablanca lily, rose petals and exotic woods (3.4 oz.; an $85 value)
Fragrance Family: Modern Floral
Official Description: “Ethereal floral lotus blossom with a hint of sparkling orange radiates light; spicy pink pepper adds a fresh touch. The intriguing interplay of pink peony blossom and wild rose underscores the quiet romance of rose absolute, resulting in the gentle feminine heart of the fragrance. The sumptuous warmth of sheer amber and skin musk blended with blonde woods exudes a soft spoken lucidity that lingers.”
Fragrance Family: Fruity Floral
Official Description: “A fruity blend of apple, cassis and juicy red fruits, enhanced with crisp greens, lends a flirty nonchalance. A rare weave of classic notes — rose, peony, and water lily — adds an explicit modern twist while cashmere woods, and soft musk radiate an implicit vitality that’s both playful and luminous.”
Fragrance Family: Sensual Oriental
Official Description: “Rich notes of creamy, voluptuous vanilla absolute, radiant amber and lucid Australian sandalwood imbues Exotic Essence with passion and mystery; soft musk and peach skin add a sly sensuality. A spicy hint of Casablanca lily melds seamlessly with tender rose petals to form a deeply captivating heart enhanced with patchouli and exotic woods. A slight touch of sparkling mandarin lends a suggestive edge.”

My first real fragrance memories were of using “Babe” after phys ed class in junior high, lol! I graduated to Jordache after that. Yikes, am I telling my age or what? 🙂
I forgot to wear perfume today, but lately I have been wearing Vivara by Emilio Pucci. Happy Tuesday!
I was going to leave the lyrics for Ice Cube’s It was a Good day but that might be a little inappropriate. So, my comment to win is, Hope you have a Good day Karen. Hugs!

Love’s Baby Soft… You remember…
The first scent I ever fell in love with was Charlie Red. I’m sure everyone hated me in high school because I wore it every single day! lol I can’t even stomach it now.. oh the irony!
Hm..yet another giveway..u r awesome……..I looked at you MAC pics yesterday..and can’t wait to get my hands on them..waiting for swatches though …
These look fantastic! I would love to try them!
Curious by Brittney Spears my number 1 fragrance
Oh wow, these are beautiful! I know you aren’t supposed to store your fragrances in the sunlight, but I’m tempted to put all of mine on the windowsill after seeing your gorgeous pictures.
Jessi recently posted … I Heart This Blush- Stila Make Me Blush Cheek Color and swatches
Oooh! Right now, I like perfume oils, like BPAL.
The scent I am wearing today is Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson…not as much a fave as her original Fancy, reminds me more of an older scent when I’m into young, fresh, sweet smells…but it makes me feel sensual for some reason! lol
I heart perfumes and would love to try more 🙂
My perfume drawer says ‘no,’ but my nose says ‘yes.’ 🙂
Amber recently posted … Playa del Carmen- under the sea- part 2
Love’s Baby soft was my first perfume as a kid, then there was Electric Youth (Debbie Gibson’s perfume, LOL) and Navy, oh holy mother and the best middle school stinker Malibu Musk just the thought of all that stench in the girls locker room makes me wretch as I type.
The first scent that I fell in love with is Country Apple body spray from Bath and Body Works.
I’m wearing Happy by Clinique! My all time fav 🙂
I love smelling de-licious! I really need to win this 🙂
I am with Sweettarlette. My first favorite was also Loves Baby Soft. I remember my older brothers girlfriend wearing it and I just loved it. I was in middle school at the time. When I was in high school, my favorite became Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden.
My first perfume (and still using) is Encanto Charm
Yummy 🙂 I love fragrances…. When I was about 6/7 my dad would sometimes buy a little of the ‘eau-de-cologne’ you could just refill in a department store. Very cheap stuff, but we were pretty poor, so I totally felt like the queen of the world with my ‘special perfume’. Until I brought the flask to school one day and the glass broke (or was broken) when my bag was hanging into the hall. The whole place just reeked and I had to cry so hard, I couldn’t believe I just lost my beloved treasure. And maybe also because I knew some one probably had done it on purpose to hurt me. Being the self-hating person I was already back than, I didn’t allow myself to have any more ‘perfume’ because I obviously wasn’t worth it, even though my sweet dad offered it. My, what a twisted puppy I was already than… My second love, some 10 years later became Poisson, a gift from my then boyfriend. Now I prefer fragrances that are a little lighter 🙂 But just love them all <3
I don’t use perfume much but would love to try these.
aaawww, for US residents only.. 🙁
I seriously need a new scent- I’ve been wearing an assortment of VS scents for a while now. 😉
My favorite fragrance is by Bulgari. i didn’t know David Yurman made fragrance too.

I would love to try them : )
ooh i need a new scent 🙂
O, I’m not a US citizen 🙁 I missed that part. But my in-laws are, so I could provide a US address if that’s allowed?
I’m currently wearing Michael by Michael Kors!
This weekend my bff from high school is coming out from Dallas, TX. We are going to try to burn the candle on both ends!!! I hope I win. Everyone have a great day.
I so need to get a replacement of my Armani Code, it is the scent that smells so good on me, its like my skin and that perfume have the perfect marriage jejejej 🙂
I would love to have a new summer scent~
My favorite perfume is a classic — Chanel No. 5!
Ooh fun! Fun fact of the day: I finally gave into to one more layer of makeup and grudgingly started using shadow primer. Now? Totally hooked. Even my cheap shadows, richly pigmented but with zero staying power, stay on all day.
my favorite perfume is Chanel Eau de Fraiche!!
I used to love that Electric Youth perfume by Debbie Gibson (remember when she was like the 80’s Britney Spears?) Oh I LOVED that perfume! Remember it even had that hot pink spiral thing in the middle of the bottle (electric coil I guess?) 🙂 Love ya Debbie! Bring back Electric Youth!!! lol
Ooooh, awesome giveaway! <3

Wearing SJP Lovely today, but really need a good summer scent – it’s already summer here. Tabs, don’t knock the bottles over!
I’m dying to try the Delicate Essence!
Today I’m wearing Amazing Grace.
I have such a perfume obsession!
I sampled these scents at Bloomies a few weeks ago, and I really liked them. Great give away Karen!
I am watching Big on TV. It’s just one of those movies from your childhood that is really amusing to see once in a while 🙂
My fave perfume is Vera Wang Princess.
I’m wearing Dolce and Gabbana’s Light Blue. It’s nice, but I wish the scent lasted longer! 😀
This is awesome! I’ve actually been considering finding a new signature scent!
T-Money did an awesome job of modeling the scents! Really is a beautiful picture.
Lately I’ve been alternating between Coach Poppy and Tom Ford Black Orchid. I love both of them!
Tiffany H recently posted … Manicure Mondays-Zoya Caitlin
My all time favorite is Secret de Venus- a musky sensual perfume. Old and hard to find but well worth the hunt.
Beautiful! 🙂 Looks great, I’ll have to check out the smell the next time I’m at the store.
Leah recently posted … Battle with the Sun
Happy TUESDAY! I always thought that Tuesdays get overlooked (much like the middle child). I would love love love to try these fragrances out!
Shiseido Inoui always my first love and favorite scent, but no longer available :{ . .
I am currently wearing Child, a little at a time as it is pretty potent.
My very first perfume was…….Evening in Paris, given to me on my 10th birthday in 1960, by my Aunt Shirley. My mom was pretty upset, feeling that I was too young for adult fragrance.
Today I am wearing Lola by Marc Jacobs.
Those bottles are really pretty!
I am dating myself (that would be kind of narcisisstic wouldn’t it?) but the first fragrance I saved my own money for and bought was Charlie in the 70’s. At that time it was sold in dept stores like Macy’s and they also had body lotion, dustong poweder and a few cosmetic items (lip gloss and cream blush I think). I collected them all and set up one of our bathroom shelves as a Charlie display, complete with blue tissue paper. Woah. That brings back memories. In the early 80’s I discovered Private Collection by Estee Lauder (on of the best green fragrances ever) and it’s been a constant companion. I am always open to trying new fragrances and this set looks amazing and perfect for summer!
mom of three. wanna love me a new fragrance 😛
ollo Tabs! love love love and wish wish wish to try these awesome products yay i win i win i win…hi Karen:)
I missed replying to your monday poll, but loved the hula hoop question. I hula hoop every day. I have a custom made hoop that’s adult sized and the right weight to get a cardio workout! It’s impossible to be unhappy in a hoop! Would love to win these!

Oh those look really pretty! =)
Today I’m wearing Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom.
Funny story actually – this week on the Makeup Alley Fragrance Board we’re having a note of the day week, so each day features a different note. Today’s note is Lily of the Valley. I don’t own any lily of the valley fragrances (or plain lily fragrances, for that matter) so I was going to wear Hermes Vanille Galante which kind of smells like lily. For some reason though, I got confused this morning and thought today’s note was jasmine (which is tomorrow’s note) and planned to wear L’Artisan’s The Pour Une Ete (a lovely soft white tea + quiet jasmine + a little bit of citrus), but in my rush to get out the door grabbed my sample of Tea for Two accidentally. Was dismayed to find I’d grabbed the wrong vial, so I’m wearing JM Orange Blossom instead – I keep sample spray vials of it, Nectarine Blossom & Honey and Sakura Cherry Blossom in my purse for days when I forget to spritz before heading out. =)
Wearing my signature – Coco – been wearing for over 25 years.
Woo giveaway! My favorite piece of jewelry is a white gold chain bracelet my grandmother gave me. It’s just a simple chain, but I love it and never take it off.
Lately it’s Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh…but love trying new fragrances.
The original Vera Wang is my all-time favorite!
My favorite piece of jewelry right now is my Coach silver boyfriend watch. I have at least 20 watches but I always end up wearing this one.
I’m just now in the process of choosing a new fragrance for summer! I’d love to try these out. Tabs is looking so model-eque as always :). My kitty says hi!
My favorite fragrance is “L’homme” by Jacque Fath…I tend to like vanilla and sandalwood bases so I am thinking the exotic one would be right up my alley!
A child of the 80’s, my first perfume was Love’s Baby Soft, followed by Debbie Gibson’s Electric Youth. I’m glad my tastes have matured a little bit since then :-p
Awesome giveaway!! my current fave perfume is Chloe.
My favorite fragrance so far is Issey Miyake L’eau de Issey; however, most of my perfumes are merely samples, as I like to really try out a ton of them and wear a new one each day.
Today I’m wearing a body spray from ULTA, the sadly discontinued Citrus Cream fragrance.
I need to snatch up MAC’s turquatic before it’s gone!!!!!
LOVE YOUR BLOG POST I LOOOK FOR THEM EVERYDAY!!!! KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT JOB CHICK!!!
My favorite piece of jewelry is a pendant my mom got me at the gem show in tucson. It’s rainbow colored and surrounded by little swirls of silver.
My first perfume ever was Love’s Baby Soft. I absolutely loved it! Today I am wearing L’Eau d’Issey which my hubby got me for Christmas.
All of these scents sound very nice and summery!
My favorite piece of jewelry is a Tiffany necklace my bf got me a couple of years ago, white and rose gold open hearts on a white gold chain I love it lots. Perfume wise I am still searching for my “signature” scent but my current favorite is Dior Addict II, light and feminine its lovely.
Today I am wearing Victoria Secret Love Spell!! I’ve loved it since high school and can’t seem to get rid of it. LOVE IT! 🙂
So today I decided to make use of the tiny perfume samples they have in magazines, every few hours I rubbed my wrists on the sample patch or the page over myself haha… smelt strange all day! The first fragrance I remember falling in love with was the ones my mum wore, her clothes always smelled of either Poison by Christian Dior or Cacharel Anais Anais.

I really don’t understand how it is ONLY Tuesday. This week better hurry up. And stop with the rain! It’s sprrriiinnnggg! 😛
Haven’t been wearing perfume. Since college I just do body splashes – Victoria’s Secret pink “fruity & bright’ being the main one. Yay fruity and bright! haha
When I was younger I was obsessed with Exclamation by Coty and Love’s Baby Soft. I thought I was the bomb wearing those fragrances! I am happy to say I’ve matured since then and now wear J’Adore by Dior 🙂
Pick Me! I love perfumes! If I could smell like a different designer everyday, I would. Something about a fragrance that says so much about a person. Its the best accessory!
Heather recently posted … Rocks
Hard to pinpoint what my first fragrance was. It was either White Shoulders or Paloma Picasso. Maybe even Red Door. My family were partial to those scents.

My main scent is Burberry Summer, but lately I’ve really enjoyed the light fragrance of the Moonlight Path body spray from Bath & Body Works. Thanks for the chance to win!!

I only have one perfume (D&G) and I love it but would like to try more!
My grandma left me a beautiful set of thick traditional silver payal (anklets) that she wore at her wedding back in the 1940’s. I hope to wear them someday at my wedding.
Such pretty jewel toned bottles!!!
First scent I fell in love with was Ralph Lauren Romance and it’s still my favorite.
Today I’m wearing Marc Jacobs Daisy, one of my favourites
My favorite piece of jewelry is a silver ring that’s one long piece of silver that wraps around itself six or seven times. I wear it every day!
These look so Springy. I need a nice light Spring scent. 🙂
My favorite is Lacoste. It’s not too strong and is fresh and light. It lasts for a good part of the day.
Today I’m wearing one of my favorite newer scents Beauty by Calvin Klein. I’d love to try these David Yurman fragrances!
Crystal recently posted … Urban Decay Apocalyptic Nail Kit
Today I’m wearing Annick Goutal Folavril. It’s a very different, quirky little scent which features mango and tomato leaf! I just love it during this time of year and during hot summers. It has a tart zing that makes me feel like going on vacation.
Today I am wearing Philosophy’s Field of Flowers which I love because it smells like peonies and peonies happen to be one of my favorite flowers (besides the wild phlox that grow in May and June near my home)
I’ve been loving Marc Jacobs’ Daisy Eau So Fresh. The scent is so pretty and is a great harbinger of summer. My hubby loves it too, to boot. 🙂
I don’t wear perfume much, but I’ve been itching to try some new ones.
Right now I’m wearing my signature scent, Marc Jacob’s Daisy. I wear it everyday but on days when I want to mix it up, I go for YSL’s Parisienne.
I am wearing Taj Sunset by Escada
My new favorite thing to do is wear green/turquoise/jade jewelry with an all white or all black ensemble. It looks even better when you wear a bold royal blue with a beautiful turquoise or jade ring!
My favorite fragrance is J’adore. ;p
I can’t afford a piece of David Yurman jewelry, but it would be nice to wear the fragrance 😛 Today I am wearing Chloe – it’s my new signature scent for spring!
hope i win !
I was into Stella by Stella McCartney, but as it gets hotter, I’ve been liking my Harajuku Lovers stuff!
I started wearing something from Avon I got from my piano teacher as a holiday gift, and don’t even know what it was. But the first perfume I ever remember falling in love with (and still adore to this day) is Halston. I’m such a sucker for spicy fragrances. Thank goodness I believe in the ‘less is more’ theory, cuz that shizzle will knock people over if you pile it on!!
I am wearing D&G Light Blue. 🙂
This easter weekend is gonna be fun, hang out with the bf’s family and lots of food 🙂
Mel recently posted … Alexander McQueen Spring 2010

So glad the semester if winding down but not looking forward to the summer classes I’m taking.
I would love to try these 🙂 I’m wearing Nina by Nina Ricci
My favorite perfume right now is by Kenzo, I’m not sure which one, it is in a rectangular bottle. I just bought a very fine gold chain necklace with a tiny bow on it from Anthropologie…it is so cute, and ladies It is now on SALE at anthropologie.com!
My favorite piece of jewelry is my wedding band. It is multi-purpose. It goes with everything, keeps the creepers away, and shows my love and devotion to my husband. 🙂
I love perfumes and I’m wearing Very Hollywood by Michael Kors today!!
I love all things David Yurman!
I absolutely love Tabs! He looks like Chin Chin my cat.I’ve been wearing Angel but need a new scent for spring
Fave fragrance of all time is Chanel No. 5, but I prefer other warmer fragrances. Origins Ginger Essence is my current go-to, but also like the D&G L’Amoureux. These David Yurman scents would be a great addition in a fragrance direction I usually don’t wear. 🙂
Thanks again for another giveaway opportunity, and for the great updates about your Toronto visit, Karen.
MMM… I love perfume, today I’m wearing Miss Dior Cherie L’eau
Sadly, I didn’t wear any scent today because I was going to the doctor and they have a sign up asking you not to wear perfume. I would have picked something summery if I had.
I never smelled these fragrances, but if I did, I hope I fall in love with them! 😛
Maintenance of hairlessness is a pain in summer…wish there were an easier and cheaper way o get rid of the unwanted hair forever…

I love bacon! (but I love to smell perfum).
The first fragrance I ever owned was Love’s Baby Soft. I was on the elevator up to my office this morning, and someone on the elevator was wearing it. That took me right back to 7th grade. It’s just amazing how a scent or even song can do that.
Ohhh… me likey. 🙂
This is a great giveaway. I love to try new things. I used to love wearing Exclamation. Right after the holidays they had a gift set for 5.00 at CVS it had a mini one and a big bottle. As soon as i sprayed it the smell brought me back to 8th grade. I love the way the bottle looks like an exclamation. I still like the smell of it.

my first real fragrance love was chanel chance. i still have a bottle on my dresser amongst all the other bottles! these look great!!
I actually wore a great, golden oldie today— White Shoulders! It is the original version from a vintage bottle that I’ve had for many, many years. I take very good care of my perfumes and it still smells as fresh and lovely as ever!
WOW! 200 comments. I wonder what the chances of winning are? 🙂
I love “Pleasures”. You are my fav beauty blogger and will love to try these fragrances.
The scent I am wearing today is my baby’s chicken and apples I fed her earlier. She decided she wanted me to wear that instead of eating it. Ah the joys of being a mother!
The first perfume I ever really fell in love with was called Duende. I haven’t seen it in e US ever, but you used to be able to find it in duty free shops sometimes. It’s the only perfume I ever bought a backup of!
Liz recently posted … Gratuitous Nail Polish Porn

🙂
(deciding which to keep would be difficult!)
My first favorite scent was The Body Shop’s eau de toilette in Neroli Jasmin. It was one of my first real perfumes, and I remember loving it.
i <3 makeup and blogs!
I am going to Scottsdale, Arizona to see my dad on Sunday! I haven’t seen him in a few months and whenever there is a milestone in my life, he generously celebrates it with a piece of David Yurman jewelry. What better way to come full circle than to schpritz myself with Davey’s perfume! Karen, thank you so much for having this contest. Your blog always makes me smile, especially when I start to miss my dad. Give Tabs a ear scratch from me!
I usually like very light scents; Issey Miyake’s L’eau D’Issey has been a favorite of mine for years, but the notes of these sound lovely! I dig pink pepper especially, so I’m excited to try Delicate Essence.
So very tured from my weekend in the Bay Area teaching all the estheticians up there how to do a chemical peel….yawn, stretch, g’nite
Those perfumes look divine!!! I’m a sucker for any and all fragrances…especially ones with tasty packaging. Thanks for another great giveaway!
Your post about the Urban Decay Quinceanera bag totally pushed me over the edge to buy it. I mean I wanted it already… but 3 cans of beans? Awesome!
Lately I’m loving the new scent by Bath and Body Works, Country Chic!
My favorite piece of jewelry is the emerald ring my bf gave me for christmas (2010). It is just so beautiful, and it just kills me when I can’t wear it everyday!

Looking for a new scent! Been wearing a jo malone for many many years.
My all-time favorite is Grass, but it was discontinued. I could really use that “Fresh!”
Quote I’d like to share!

Have a great day! =)
My favorite piece of jewelry is my grandmothers wedding ring, I wear it whenever I want her with me:)
I usually don’t really care for jewelry but I’m really loving rings lately, so anything cute and unique would do.
Today I enjoyed a tasting of delicious wines made from fruits other than grapes!
There’s a stray adolescent kitty at my work that always hangs out our parking lot with a buddy. I fed him/her today and it was the cutest thing. Made my day 🙂
One of my favorite pieces of jewelry is a shamrock ring I have.
I love how Tabs posed w/the fragrances!
i need a new perfume to perk me up on this hot summer season!
i wana try those!!
they remind me of my current fav , D&G No.3 perfume
hi!
First fragrance I fell in love w/ – Curve. I forgot who made it. hmm. My mom still has 1 or 2 bottles lying around the house.
i fell in love with “Romance” by Ralph Lauren! 🙂
Perfect thing to dream about…! Goodnite!
Want this!
oooHH The scents look yummy and nice for spring!
I’m drooling on my keyboard, Karen! I’ve been wearing Halle Berry’s Orchid, and loving it, but I think I’d love these even more! (-:
I’m loving diamonds by giorgio Armani right now!
The Exotic sounds right up my alley! I’m searching for a new fragrance, maybe this one is it 🙂
First fragrance I fell in love with was Jessica McClintock, lol. I’m really loving Chloe right now but haven’t had a chance to buy it yet as I still have full bottles of 4 or 5 other perfumes.
I want these so bad! 🙂
i need perfume!!
I have a huge physiology exam this THurs!
I’m feeling “exotic” today — despite the thunderstorm, hail and fog! At least it’s not snow (until tomorrow).
I love wearing fragrance. I wear it everyday. I even put it on before I go to bed. I also love to collect samples of perfumes. I write down what scents I like so I can buy them in the future. The first time I was really aware of a fragrance was when I was little. My Mother wore Chanel no. 5. My Father always bought it for her for Christmas. When I smell it I immediately think of her. Thank you.

currently rocking bath and body works moonlight path 🙂
Weekend plans? My wife and I live in different states right now, so this weekend I’m going to spray on some Marc Jacobs “Bang” (which she loves on me), drive down to see her, and have a good time!
I’m eternally in love with channel no. 5!
These are definitely pretty to look at. From the description, I think I’d like Fresh best but it’s hard to say without smelling them. My fave piece of jewelry is my engagement ring (Tiffany Lucida). It sparkles like the sun… infused with rainbows. 🙂
My first scent ever was Clinique Happy…smelling it still gives me fond memories of my youth (minus those awkward junior high years). I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m looking forward to an awesome Easter brunch this weekend! Thanks for the giveaway.
I love fragrance, and would love to try the fresh essence!
I’ve been wearing Eau Premiere a lot lately. My little girl gets a spritz of Coco Mademoiselle on her hair ribbons every morning. 🙂 I’m working on getting her to say “Chanel!”
How have these not been on my radar before? Yipes! They sounds fantastic! 🙂
I am loving Marc Jacobs Daisy! I want to buy a full sized bottle!
Currently wearing Lanvin’s Oxygene.. I’m so ready for summer!
My favorite spring scent is Honae Mori… delicate, feminine,and floral – just like ME! I can’t wait to try the Delicate and Fresh fragrances!
My mom used to put spritzes of her perfume on me when I was really little. But in middle school, she bought my very own perfume, I was SO excited. I thought it was the 1st step of becoming a woman – boy was I in for a surprise two weeks later thanks to mother nature – but that is another story.
It was Love’s Baby Soft.
Most fragrances are a bit too much for me but these seem right up my alley. Light and summery.
I love his jewelry, i’m sure i’d love his fragrance!
My favorite piece of jewelry is a bracelet. Love them!
The first fragrance I fell in love with was Estee Lauder’s Beautiful.
LET’S GO BUFFALO!!!
The fragrance I’m wearing today is Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue because my boyfriend surprised me with it as a gift and he loves the notes! I’m not a huge frgrance person but I wear it for him. The first fragrance I fell in love with is Elizabeth Taylor’s White Diamonds.
I loveeee Harajuku Lover’s fragance Love and Music!!!
My favorite fragrance is the first Victoria’s Secret which they no longer make. It reminds me of one of my great loves and a glorious time in my life. I have a very old bottle of the bubble bath. I occasionally remove the cap, take a whiff and am immediately transported back in time.
my fave jewelry is my wedding band, but also love anything from forever21. esp their necklaces! most days, i wear benefit’s frangrance “maybe baby” but i heard a rumour that it is being discontinued… so, hopefully i win these new perfumes!
My first favorite fragrance was the Vera Wang Princess- it’s the only perfume I’ve ever completely used up!
I am wearing Viva La Juicy today – light and sweet (although it does disappear quite fast). Would love to try these!!
Bananas
You and Tabs always have the best giveaways! Me and my fur baby noodles luv ya for it! 😀
The colors are GOR-geous.
favorite fragrance Balenciaga’s Paris
Currently in love with Very Wang’s Preppy Princess! My first real love with fragrence was Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle… I barely wanted to use it because I loved it so much, I couldn’t bare to part with it! Have a wonderful day dear 🙂
How exciting – these new fragrance releases look ideal for summer 🙂
Would love a new fragrance for spring. Much less three new fragances, if spring ever comes.
These fragrances sound amazing. I hope I win but if I don’t I will definitely have to check them out next time I’m shopping. My first fragrance was some loud floral from Avon that my Mom bought me when I was 13. I still have the decanter because, like you, I’m a cat person!
I would love to win the Yurman parfume’s ….I love his jewelry! I am addicted to parfumes and would love to add one more fragrance to my collection! Thank you:-)
oh man, I am currently in need of a new scent. These look beautiful!

Love Marc Jacobs Daisy right now!
I love pizza. There was a particular chain that carried stuffed pizza sticks that I loved, but they discontinued them and that makes me sad.

I love all floral fragrances!! The Fresh Essence would be amazing i bet. I love fruity floral aromas. 🙂 I would really LOVE to win! 🙂
David Yurman’s mother, Annie, lived in my neighborhood when I was a little kid. I don’t remember much but my parents say that she was really proud of her son. his career is a dream come true.
David Yurman is my sister’s favorite jewelry designer. It’d be great to win his fragrances and share!
Lately I’m loving Daisy my Marc Jacobs
Never leaving the house without my david yurman cable collection on!!
I love Bulgari’s Omnia Crystalline and Burberry’s The Beat but I’m curious about his fragrance line
Weather is getting nicer, can’t wait for 70-degree weather!!
I’m entirely intrigued by the art of fragrance, but most perfumes give me headaches. I hope these don’t!
I just got the Jennifer Aniston’s perfume and I really like it 🙂

The first fragrance I absolutely loved was Philosophy Falling in Love.
wearing pink sugar!
My signature fragrance is Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf, but I LOVE David Yurman jewelry, so am curious to smell the fragrances. BTW, if anyone is looking for an amazing fragrance for the significant male in their life, Antidote by Viktor and Rolf is the best! Smells so good…

Right now I am loving Dead Sexy by Tokyo Milk 🙂
My friend gave me a coffin watch before I left California so I would have something to remember them all by. Since we love rock n roll and spooky things so much. :3
Today I’m wearing Philosophy’s Amazing Grace. But I’m looking for a new perfume…
Thanks for the giveaway, Karen!

I never win anything! Maybe now’s my chance.
Jessie recently posted … jessiemwalker- @wemcal No You keep waking me up
The first fragrance i fell in love with is the Dior Addict 2. I love sweet florally scents.
Can’t get enough David Yurman! Love my Albion rings.
I’m currently loving Coach and Chloe perfumes – I alternate between them. Yummy!
Yesterday I made my first ever fragrance purchase, Bvlgari’s Omnia Crystalline. I got a sample from a Sephora order and oh my gooood it just works on me so I took the plunge and bought a bottle. Excited to keep trying new scents, I think I may have found a new hobby. 😀
flora by gucci! not TOO too springy-smelling, i’m finding (like my beloved Viva La Juicy) :))
just got the katy perry perfume today, i love it! you can never have enough good perfume. 🙂
Jimmy Fallon’s parodies are so funny. Watching “Jersey Floor” now, lol.
with the help of a classmate today, i learned the process of casting a ring!!!
all about eve by joop. still love it.
My mom is a huge David Yurman fan. I would definitly send these to her for her upcoming birthday (May 6). She deserves it. 😀
love love LOVE david yurman
These sound wonderful – love any scents with citrus notes!
Hi! Just came across your blog, and it’s one of the best I’ve found! Love it! And I love your kitty – not sure which is lovlier – the David Yurman scent descriptions or your kitty!
Thanks for the contest and keep up the good work!
I am so excited to try these fragrances. Thanks for sharing these pics–the bottles alone look beautiful!
I would love to win this! The Exotic Essence sounds divine!
Mm, my first scent brings back a lot of memories. I was 17 (so long ago!) and was in love, my first love. 🙂 It was a pretty cheap rollerball type of thing I got from Missha, a Korean brand, but it smelled divine; notes of fresh cut grass, and a bouquet of flowers. It was a fresh scent, just like I was then. God I miss that year!
Then I fell in love with Lolita Lempicka when I turned twenty (or 21) and still have it but sadly the person I am living with hates perfume, so I can’t wear it around much. It’s also a strong scent so it seems to give some people headaches, although I love the sweet vanilla notes… I just want to sniff myself all day.
I feel like I could take about perfumes forever, so I’m going to stop now. I would write a novel about them, but some dude already took that niche. Darnit.

I myself am a perfume whore.. Have always loved having an arsenal of fragrances to choose from. I would have to say my first perfume affair was with Chloe Narcisse. I got a whiff of it one day while flipping through the pages of a Marie Claire. It was love at first sniff and I wore it off and on through highschool. My hubby started courting me around the same time that my love started with this scent. I went on to buy it years later after forgetting about the lovely perfume. When I wore it my husband went crazy to say the least… Isnt it funny how a scent can spark up an old memory or feeling just like that?
My second favorite animal is the sea otter! And these fragrances look lovely 🙂
MY first scent was True Love by Elizabeth Arden… but nowadays I’m totally in love with Flower Bomb from Viktor & Rolf
One of these days, I’ll give in and get a Twitter account, but for now…1 entry will do. 😉
My first fragrance love was Coty Ici, which I found when I was around 8 or 10 years old, at Kmart…I used to go directly to the bath & body section while my mom shopped and explore…remember all those Sarah Michaels products? Now I am into some niches…finally trying to get my nose into shape!
The third one sounds interesting
i’ve always loved david yurman’s print ads, they always have some lady with amazing eyes and makeup. and oh the jewelry ain’t bad too. 😀
i’ve been looking for a new perfume, could this be it?
I’ve been on the hunt for a new perfume since my big move! I gave away all my perfumes so that all I had were 4 luggage bags full of clothes. haha Ah well! 🙂
Today I’m rocking something from bath and body lol. These scents sound amazing!!
Haha Tabs is so cute in that picture. I’d be afraid of knocking the perfumes onto the floor though!
I will forever be in love with Chloe – such a pretty scent.
I just tried katy perry’s OPI line
Currently I am only rocking Halls Citrus lol I have the flu 🙁 winning these would be a way better scent option 🙂
I really wish Victoria’s Secret would bring back Secret 55 ( Flirtation ) because it’s my all-time favorite scent !
I’ve actually been shopping around the past couple of days for a new summer fragrance, & look absolutely beautiful!
Tweeted as well, I’m iowagirl301 on Twitter, thanks Karen!
Nice Giveaway thanks xoxo
Hey! I love when my kitties play near my perfume because then they smell so great 😉 And mine look like yours LOL
My weekend plans may sound mundane, but I’m totally excited. My husband travels at least five days a week for work, and he’s been gone a LOT lately. He gets home tomorrow night and we’re going to have a weekend full of cuddles, homemade meals, and kisses. 🙂

Keith at the NY store gave me some samples of the David Yurman perfumes when I picked up the beautiful gold bracelet I ordered. I loved them! My sister stole them.
I have my eye on some DY sunglasses now.
Also love Jo Malone’s fragrances and Hermes 24, Faubourg.
I love the salespeople at the NY store. They are always so helpful and so nice.
la vanila vanilla grapefruit-so summery. 🙂
Hey Karen!!! Omg I’ve been obsessed with scents ever since I was a little kid!!! I like all different types of fragrances, my fave fragrance ever though has to be Dreamer by Versace. It’s an awesome sweet & sorta woodsy/floriental fragrance. To me, it smells like nighttime in the Summer. And the bottle’a gorgeous. It was the last fragrance Gianni created before he left.
I have been swamped with orders this week and haven’t had a chance to visit your blog much till now and there is a giveaway?! 🙂 Thanks Karen! Have a great day!
Wearing True Love today.
Would love to win this!
YAY!! I am so excited to see my kids faces for Easter this weekend. They are 9, 8, 6 & 4 so it is a great year for making memories!!
Good luck to all!
Currently Rockn’ Armani Code 8)
