Happy Father’s Day! Gifts for Dad-

In about a week it is going to be June! June makes me think of summer- my son’s birthday, school being out, BBQ parties, swimming, flip flops and Father’s Day! I have a busy summer planned and thought I would get a head start on Father’s Day gifts!

Fragrancenet has so many different items to choose from and since my husband collects cologne it was my first stop! Maybe you need some ideas on what to get your the Dad's in your life and my blog post can help! I always feel like it is important for my children to be involved in Father’s Day so I let them each pick out one cologne and one hair product. Besides the cologne and hair products, my children make cards and wrap everything themselves! One of our traditions is to make my husband a Candy Bouquet; instead of flowers it is a vase filled with candies! He loves it!

My daughter chose Dolce & Gabbana Intenso and glad she did! It came in a beautiful velvet box and the smell is amazing! The notes are-

Basil, Lavender, Sandlewood, Moepel Accord

She also picked out Aveda Smooth Infusion Conditioner; she knows how much my husband loves his Aveda! 

Here is her shopping list-

Dolce & Gabbana Intenso is right now $58.99 bit with coupon only $41.29!

Kentucky Derby- The Winning Bet- my winning scent! Prada Candy Florale and Versace Bright Crystal

My husband and I have many traditions, one that I look forward to every year is betting on the Kentucky Derby which we have done every year since we have been together. We go to the Casino to place our bets and watch all of the other people get excited to see their horse run around the track! It is a very intense couple of minutes. It never fails, every year we always see a group of older woman in their Kentucky Derby outfits complete with their extravagant hats.

When you see people on the TV at the Kentucky Derby they are always dressed beautifully and so spring like. One of my favorite things about the Kentucky Derby is seeing the fashion and all of the different hats in the crowd! I always feel like the final touch to any outfit is perfume. Perfume finishes off any look and makes a woman feel beautiful and feminine. This brought me to thinking about-what would the perfect scent be for The Kentucky Derby?! After thinking about it the two perfumes that are my winning choices are Prada Candy Florale and Versace Bright Crystal!  I know without a doubt they will pay off big and be a winner for any woman!

Prada Candy Florale-

This is a perfume I have wanted for a long time! I had a sample of it and was instantly memorized with the floral scent with a sweet undertone. This scent is for someone who loves flowers and candy, both of which you can smell while wearing this. Prada Candy Florale screams summer and lifts my mood whenever I wear it! The notes are-

Sparkling Cedrat, Bouquet Of Cosmos, Benzoin, Caramel, White Musk.

The bottle is beautiful with baby pink and gold lettering. Even the box matches with adorable flowers! One of my favorite things about the packaging is how evenly the perfume sprays out.

I took so long to get this perfume because it is pricey whenever I looked at it in Sephora. Since I have discovered my favorite place to shop is fragrancenet.com I decided to see how much it was there and a 2.7 fl oz bottle is $94.99 but is on sale for $66.49 who could seriously pass up that deal?!  here http://www.fragrancenet.com/perfume/prada/prada-candy-florale/edt#254814

Versace Bright Crystal-

This was one of the first perfumes my husband bought me and for a few months the only scent I 

would wear! I constantly got compliments whenever I wore this to work and even got a couple of girls to buy their own bottle. With that being said it is no surprise I went through my entire bottle and it has always been on my list to get again! When I was thinking about my winning scents for the Kentucky Derby this came to mind right away! 

Versace Bright Crystal is a perfume for any age. You know how some scents can be a little too young and over powering being too sweet or to “grandma-ish” and smell so strong you get a head ach. This scent is sweet and fruity, it’s just enough of an aroma that you can smell it when you enter a room but nothing that will leave you feeling like you can’t breathe. The notes are-

Iced Accord, Yuzu, Pomegranate, Peony, Magnolia, Lotus Flower, Acajou, Vegetal Amber, Musk.

Of course I love this packaging it is all about stunning crystal and the perfume shining through is a pretty pink! The box it comes in is white, pink with sliver lettering. It looks so luxurious!

There is a great deal going on now where you can get the 3 oz which is normally $53.99 but on sale now for $37.79 here http://www.fragrancenet.com/perfume/gianni-versace/versace-bright-crystal/edt#145893

This is a must have in any collection!

Both of these scents are perfect for the Kentucky Derby theme because they are high end, classy with a floral spring scent! When I think of the Derby I automatically think of class and sophistication and the outdoors. This weekend is the Kentucky Derby and even if I don’t win the race, Prada Candy Florale and Versace Bright Crystal are the winning scents!

(I had a nice beach day with my husband and son yesterday and that is where I took my pictures! Thought it would be fun to switch it up!)

Do you look forward to the Kentucky Derby every year? What is your favorite scent?
