If you are looking (smelling) everywhere for your wedding day scent, look no further! I have found the perfect one in Marc Jacobs Biscotti for the 2010 Splash Collection. I have a really hard time of finding a perfume that doesn't give me a headache (former top favorites have included Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue and Ralph Lauren Blue). I was determined to find an everyday perfume for the upcoming warmer months after I found myself using the last bit of a old perfume bottle the other day....ENOUGH!So off to trusty Sephora! I started from the right hand side of the fragrance wall and after spraying a dozen or so scents, I saw these huge Marc Jacobs bottles at the very top of the wall. The bottles are huge (300ml). I could barely hold it without feeling I would drop it. Heaven! I sprayed it all over to give it a test run. I'm wearing it now and I can only describe it as a warm and refreshing aroma with a touch of vanilla. I do NOT smell like a bakery! It is not too sticky sweet and it has more of a clean and fresh smell to it.
The main notes are freesia, bergamont, orange blossom, pistachio blossom, and vanilla. Only downside, like I said, is that the bottle is IMMENSE. For travel purposes, you will have to buy a small atomizer and use a dropper to fill it. This is what I'm going to do and keep it tucked in my makeup bag. Also, it is Limited Edition. Eeeek! How long will an up-opened bottle of perfume keep? Can I store it in the freezer? I'm not sure but I will find out and buy another bottle before it runs out.
The other two Splashes in the collection are Pomengranate and Apple. I really liked both of these too. Neither was overly "fruity" as their names suggest and would be perfect for a summer wedding. But for a rich, warm, and pleasant smelling scent, give Biscotti a whirl!
