How I stopped my man in his tracks.....

Have you ever been lucky enough to have that moment, when you are wearing a scent and it literally stops your man in his tracks?  I did recently, well within the last 6 months or so I had once again with my husband in tow made a quick stop into Macy's fragrance department to test out some fragrances.  He likes to smell nice too so he doesn't put up much of a fuss on these kinds of shopping trips....lol

As I was taking a look at some new scents, the Jimmy Choo area was showcasing the newest incarnation of their line and my husband happened  to like the bottle so I tried a quick spritz on.  Within seconds my husband had my wrist up to his nose and he said to me" That's the sexiest smell I've ever smelled!".  My husband is not easily impressed by much and even more so by perfumes.  As I was slowly falling in love with this sweet juice my husband could not stop exclaiming how much he wanted me to have this.  He even stated that I was only allowed to wear it with him around.  I was swooning with delight that he loved something on me so much that he wanted it to be worn for private purposes.  Ohh la laa....



I dont usually buy my scents directly from Macy's as they are usually more expensive then in other locations such as Sephora, Parfumerie, etc, however the sales women there were very kind to make me a couple of samples to take home and try out.  I knew by my husband's instant reaction that it was a must buy at some point, but I wanted to surprise him :-)

Although I did buy a different scent that day from Macy's ( Givenchy Envy the 12 rose edition, the one with the red roses on the red bottle).  I made plans to stop by the Sephora store at the Tacoma Mall and there was a good full sized bottle for about 20 dollars less.  I bought it after first spraying another spray to dress myself in the luxurious scent with a happy husband in my over perfumed wake....

Since I have bought this I am definately planning on buying another full sized bottle as back up, as is always the case my favorites are almost always discontinued on a fairly regular basis. "Flash" by Jimmy Choo seems quite like a fun but difuse little number in its rather innocuous little flash of a bottle, but it got the an immediate effect on my Man-hence a very appropriate name for the effect of this juice.

Flash by Jimmy Choo

"Flash is constructed as a fragrance which accentuates delicate white flower notes with a hint of spices and fruit. Top notes encompass passionate strawberry combined with tangerine and pink pepper adding exciting and cheerful note to white floral notes in the heart. The white bouquet is composed of tuberose, jasmine and white lily on a base of heliotrope and blond wood. "

 On me Flash is delightfully sweet and candy like at first spritz and dries down to the most succulent peppery rose scent.  Rose rarely wears on me for more than a few seconds and in Flash this is the only perfume in which on me the rose dominates in such a finely tuned spicy way. 

 To know that my husband fancies this scent on me thrills me to my core and makes me give a little chuckle inside.  I feel empowered and special everytime I wear it, because it tied to the reaction of my wonderful husband and that in itself is worth any price to me.

May you relish those moments that are sweet and create drama, unity and memories to cherish.
