Dixie's Guide to Fall and Winter Perfumes

Dixie

Despite popular belief, Florida actually has seasons. True, the Sunshine State may have long, humid summers but we do eventually get around to fall and winter. We just don't get all that snow and shit that the rest of y'all do. Basically, we can all bring our winter fashions out of storage without having to worry about snow tires and road salt. All of the cuteness, none of the back-breaking labor. And, with fall and winter fashions comes fall and winter perfumes. 

During the summer, I tend to wear perfumes with citrus notes - scents that are fresh and energizing because Lord knows perfumes are the only fresh scents after a day spent in and out of the heat and humidity. But in fall and winter, I like a heavier, more earthy perfume to warm my senses. These are a few of my stand-by favorites:

Rusty's Sample Roulette: Fresh Soy Face Cream

I order from Sephora kind of a lot. Because of this I have a giant box of samples just hanging out, waiting to be used. This… is… SAMPLE ROULETTE. Due to the brief nature of the use, I will assign ratings as 0 (stay away) 4 (I liked it, but didn’t love it) or 8 (love it and will probably be dropping my own money on it in short order). Enjoy!

One of the first things that hit me when I first tried Fresh Soy Face Cream was the smell. Most facial moisturizers or other skin care products tend to have slight floral scents or no scent at all. Fresh Soy Face Cream smelled like… grass. Not like lawn grass but that same kind of greenish, earthy scent of broken stalks or ripped leaves. It’s not unpleasant, just extremely unexpected and something that I’ve noticed every time I’ve used it.
