St. Patrick's Day is finally upon us so it's officially time to pull out your favorite green accessories and beauty products to celebrate. Around this time, everyone pulls out their favorite green t-shirts, green hoodies and even green shoes in an effort to avoid getting pinched but what about the beauty girls? Well you know we have to put our on twist on things ;-) . Cue the takeover of green inspired eye shadow looks, lip ombres and 4 leaf clover nail tutorials but why stop there?
In honor of St. Patrick's Day, here are six green fragrances worth trying:
Bvlgari Mon Jasmin Noir L'Eau Exquise is an exquisite Spring fragrance that is light and airy (perfect to wear in the office for St. Patrick's Day). Its sparkling femininity is captured in a stunning bottle and filled with notes of jasmine, white tea, pomelo, almond anchor, musk and cedar. You'll tend to notice the citrusy scent and grapefruit notes more and more as it dries down.
If you're looking for a floral fragrance with a bit of a punch to it, try Amouage's Epic Eau De Parfum for women. It's described as a spicy floral oriental with top notes of cumin, pink bay, cinnamon; heart notes of Damascene rose, tea, geranium, jasmine; and base notes of amber, musk, guaiac wood, orris, frankincense, oud, patchouli, sandalwood, and vanilla. I'll be honest, when I smelled the first spritz of it on my wrists, I wrote it off as being way too strong and spicy for me. As the night went on and the fragrance notes started to open (the heart and base notes), I really began to enjoy the warm rose and sweet sandalwood scent. If you order this fragrance or even go to test it out, make sure that you give it a few hours to settle before judging it.
Dolce by Dolce & Gabbana is everything that you want in a romantic fragrance. The packaging is designed as a petite glass bottle topped with an ivory and pink marzipan flower. It opens with a soft and sensual blast of floral and citrus notes. You can immediate smell the freshness of the neroli leaves mixing together with the papaya flowers. Later, the fragrance mixes into it heart floral notes of white amaryllis and white water lily and finally settles into your skin with a soft cashmere and musk opening. I recommend this is your looking for a light, and floral romantic scent. Plus, the bottle is a cute vanity topper.
Un Jardin Après La Mousson by Hermès pays homage to the spices and precious gems of India. It is a very warm and spicy eau de toilette that houses notes of ginger, cardamom, coriander, pepper and vetiver. This is one of those abstract fragrances that wears well on both men and women because of its pull on the freshness of cucumber spiciness, peppered cantaloupe and fresh rain water.
We all know the feeling of falling in love. The butterflies and excitement that comes from a first date and the endless possibilities of what the future may hold. A floral and romantic eau de parfum with passionate overtones and sweet seductive undertones, Live in Love by Oscar De La Renta perfectly captures this feeling and emotion in its elegant bottle. It has notes of rose, sparkling ginger orchid, jasmine, lily of the valley, bergamot, african orange flower, white amber, musk and sandalwood.
And the crème de la crème, Creed Green Irish Tweed. I remember how stunned I was when my boyfriend first opened his new bottle of GIT and sprayed it on his wrists. The fresh opening of the florentine iris and the explosion of violet leaves left me smiling because it reminded me just how close to spring we really are. Literally, every fragrance that is described as "fresh" and "green" is secretly aspiring to hit the mark that Green Irish Tweed has. It has notes of iris, lemon verbena, violet leaves, ambergris and mysore sandalwood. 
What scent are you wearing to celebrate and bring you luck today?
Creed really lived up to its name and created this one with luxury in mind. It's a perfect romantic scent that is geared more towards their younger feminine audience which is why I gravitated to it.
The notes include top notes of Bitter Sicilian bergamot, rose and sweet violet; middle notes of Jasmin, vanilla, patchouli and iris from Tuscany and base notes of Benjoin Siam, a sweet gum resin from Thailand, Mysore Sandalwood and Styrax, an ancient resin extracted from bark of shrubs in Asia. Personally, I've worn it well over 10 hours and at first, it started off as an intense floral scent but as the day went on, it dried down into a subtle powder and vanilla woody scent.
The bottle has a clear to red gradient color design with an embossed logo in the middle of it to showcase the passion of the scent. 
The cap is gold with the embellished red logo etched into it as well. 
The nozzle is a standard creed nozzle with a powerful "spritzer" so you really only need to spray this 3 to 4 times on your pulse points. 
Ladies, think high fashion and couture when you think about this scent. It is a bit pricey but this is one of those times that I can really say that you get what you pay for. And hey, all you really need to do is throw on a bold lipstick and this fragrance and you're good to go for date night.
It's available at the Creed Boutique and Nordstorm's in a 1.0 oz and 2.5 oz.
