Soleil de Minuit

Loving this Paris Vogue editorial from 2007, Soleil de Minuit, or midnight sun. Something I really need right now in January in my Northern climate. The beautiful colors beckon warmth, heat, and scents of a tropical paradise, I'm packed and ready to go! Here's my top 3 tropical fragrances.

1. Taj Sunset Escada
Alphonso mango, nectarine and blood orange. The heart features aquatic flowers with raspberry and pomarosa or Malay apple. The base consists of coconut, sandalwood and musk.
2. Light Blue Dolce and Gabbana
Sicilian Citron, Bluebell, Granny Smith Apple, Jasmine Sambac, Bamboo, White Rose, Cedarwood, Amber, Musk.
3.Bronze Goddess Estee Lauder
The core of this Radiant Amber scent exudes smooth sensuality. The creaminess of Coconut Milk, Sandalwood and Vanilla unwinds with silky warmth.
The exotic combination of Vetiver and Myrrh deepens the sexiness with its embrace. The silky softness of warm sand Velvety smooth Amber, with its warm, mysterious scent, glows at the center, pulsing the uninhibited spirit of summer’s sultry heat through the fragrance. The vibrancy of bright, zesty elements infuses the fragrance with sun-drenched lightness. Juicy Mandarin, Sicilian Bergamot and Lemon blend with Pulpy Orange for a mouthwatering sensation. The radiance of bronzed skin. RELAX, TAKE IT EASY
