Pacifica Perfumes ~ French Lilac

Pacifica perfumes was not a fragrance line that I've ever paid to much attention to until the other day when my husband and I were shopping at our local Whole Foods in University Heights. Spring has sprung here in Cleveland and this is the time of year that I find myself craving single floral scents probably because that's what's in the air! So I stopped by the pretty display of Pacifica products and what caught my eye immediately was the French lilac perfume. I adore lilacs, probably because they are such a romantic old fashioned flower and they remind me of my mother who was very fond of them because of their blowsy, fragrantly happy natures! She had a beautiful crystal vase that had been her mothers and is now mine that was cut crystal, narrow at the bottom and tall but wide on top just like a parasol. Lilacs and old fashioned snowballs and roses look just beautiful arranged in this vase and for me seeing her create her beautiful bouquets are very personal childhood memories that I treasure.

Enjoy the fragrant delights of the divine French Lilac this spring!

So , upon seeing the little tester of perfume I was immediately overcome with some of those memories and I sprayed myself with a bit of it. I found Pacifica's French Lilac to be absolutely lovely, with just the right touch of heliotrope and nectarine, ylang ylang and oakmoss, enough to convey the memory of such a sweet and special flower. What I wasn't prepared for however was my husbands response. He absolutely loved it and bought it for me on the spot . He said that it was literally one of the most romantic fragrances that he'd ever smelled and I could tell that it brought back memories of his own. Whatever the reason, I have been wearing it ever since. It's green enough of a perfume to be a little bit cool if necessary, but Pacifica's French Lilac has a very passionate heart. Like all of their other fragrances, it comes in a solid perfume which is very nice, as well candles, body butter and a finely milled soap. I encourage you to try it. French Lilac is a very sexy fragrance to enjoy this spring and so far I've worn it with cotton, lace and velvet. Try spraying a bit of it between your sheets for a very romantic evening experience.

Perfumerotica

Perfumerotica is the word that I coined to describe my passionate relationship and lifelong obsession with all things fragrant.

It also includes lipsticks, baked goods, glaceed fruits, body creams, scented candles , milk baths, scented tassels, herbal teas and everything else aromatic and gorgeous under the sun. My Raison d' etre is to bring to life the world of fine fragrance and scented pleasures and treasures in such a way that all could experience them and in turn be inspired to create a world for themselves that was physically and aromatically beautiful, sensual and pleasurable such that it always exceeded their expectations!
