Hello again Beautynistas and Suavies! We hope that you’ve
been enjoying our picks for The Makeup Examiner’s Fragrance Of The Month
feature. So, we’ve been fussing about Humidgeddon and what do you know … we end
up with a bit of a chilly snap! Seriously? Since when is it supposed to be 56°F
in June in the Northeastern USA? We know … fuss when it’s too cold, fuss when
it’s too hot … first world problems. We digress.
Thinking of Summer 2016 and the sensuality that the season
offers, we look to Laura Biagiotti for Fragrance Of The Month June 2016 - Blu di Roma Donna
for the ladies and Blu di Roma Uomo for the gents! The inspiration for the
fragrance paring is the city of Rome. Blu di Roma fragrances are meant to be
contemporary, fresh and light inspired by the blue nuances of the roman summer
and the charm of an adventure in the city that invites you to dream of a
never-ending holiday.
We have to share with you that our editor has an odd
ancestry (her tribe hails from all over the world, including Rome) and she
tends to get sentimental (you readers know this from other FOM picks) -- too
sentimental with an odd attachment to New Zealand that, as far as we know, doesn’t
have anything to do with her tribe.
Okay, we digress yet again … but if anyone can answer why Yvonne is so
attached to NZ, please email us! Moving on …
Blu di Roma Donna (€ 167.60 - approx. $187 USD - 100ml)
was launched in 2014 and has a Floral Fruity theme. The scent opens with a
sweet, fruity aroma that gives way to the dominant rose, which seems to remain
at drydown with an exquisite mix of patchouli. Blu di Roma Donna is fresh and
inviting and reminds us of a truly feminine scent. Seasons: Warmer Months;
Sillage: 3-Moderate; Longevity: 4-Long Lasting; Bottling-5
Blu di Roma Donna Laura Biagiotti Notes~

Blu di Roma Uomo (€ 159.60 -
approx. $177 USD - 100ml), also launched in 2014, is a Woody Aquatic. This is a
beautiful summer scent -- fresh, sexy and reminds us of the endless summer
night of romance. The scent opens with the fresh citrus of Italian Lemon that
gives way to a rapture of aquatic freshness and evolves into a woody feel, with
drydown leaving a fresh and crisp fragrance that is neither over- or
underwhelming. Blu di Roma Uomo is what we want our men to smell like in the
summer. Seasons: Warmer Months; Sillage: 3-Moderate; Longevity: 4-Long Lasting;
Bottling-5
