A Wren Says

Let’s jump into it Izia la Nuit by Sisley Paris. I smelled this in store and something about it drew me in.  When I finally tried it out on skin, I felt like it smelled powdery and fruity. (I imagine that I interpret the florals as powdery.) I wore it all day out and about, but I didn’t notice it much after that initial spray. I just wore it again today an outdoor event.

I know that that there are some fragrances that seem to only get more powerful when you are outside or get heated up. This didn’t do that for me. I found that the bit I sprayed in the crook of my elbow dissipated quickly and was undetectable, but the spray on my wrist remained when I got back home after two hours in the sun and heat. Admittedly, I don’t recommend this scent for those occasions where you are just outside in the heat .

How would I wear this? This could work if maybe you are very sweet natured and were going on a date with someone you already know and want to smell comforting but not have to wear a gourmand.  I think if you worked in a very professional yet creative setting, you might be able to get away with this. It would fit a feminine, professional aesthetic and doesn’t seem to project in a way that would disturb your coworkers. But I make no guarantees how this might project or behave on you. Make sure you test it out first before heading into the office potentially smelling alluring.
