Scent of the Day
Today I'm wearing Lea Extreme, by St. Barth.
Notes:
Almond, vanilla, light musk. Some say they smell a chocolate-y note in it.
This is a stronger (and discontinued) version of St. Barth's Lea. If you are a big fan of Jergen's Original Almond-scented lotion, this is heavenly. The first whiff on the skin was exactly as if I had dabbed vanilla extract straight from the bottle. Following closely on the vanilla's heels is a beautiful almond note, truly almond, not crossing the line into cough drop cherry for even a moment. It was also very honey-like on my skin. Great, creamy ground almonds plus soft honey plus real vanilla. Delicious and delicate. I really enjoyed it a lot, but it had no staying power at all. Four hours later there isn't a trace left, and I was careful to touch it to my clothing to help it stick around. Very much a shame because even I, not especially crazy for the Almond scent, was diggin' it. This would, however, be a perfect summer scent for hot days, because it won't keep blasting you until you have headache and queasies from scent overload. All in all I like it a lot, although I'm not sure I could cough up the money for a bottle of this stuff. Still, if you're a big almond fan, this is the stuff.
