The Vera Bradley small Eau de Toilette Spray set in Multi 2016 ($48)
As I was going with my products before my recent move, I realized something.
I am a major hoarder!

I had a great deal of expired products, as well as even for the ones that didn’t have an expiration date, I still understood they were because of be discarded.
This was even more proven when sweetheart was putting away the kitchen area products as well as found, as well as I quote, “Tea from 2007. 2007 BABE!”
I just dislike throwing things out, guys. like the authentic Chinese black tea from my old neighbor who invited me over for a conventional tea as well as chit-chat after I asked to borrow a screwdriver to put together my roommate’s shoddy Ikea bed? That was only two years ago. who cares if the box states 2007 on it!

Tea aside, I truly needed to go with my products before this move, as well as when I got to my perfumes, I discovered that I had practically totally full bottles of Victoria trick Body Mist, something I had been into for a while, circa 2009.
I was an particularly faithful fan of Fresh & Clean, with the matching body lotion.
I understood they were old, however I wasn’t sure just exactly how old up until I opened them as well as detected something rather unlike the apples as well as lilies explained on the label. Instead…they smelled mainly like alcohol. I hadn’t kept them in the very best places. They were frequently housed on windowsills where they were subjected to sunlight.
So away they went, together with an old bottle of Calvin Klein for women that had likewise seen much better days.
Despite the truth that, nowadays, I choose body oils as well as lighter perfumes, I don’t turn my nose up at distinct sets from recognized companies, which is why I was curious about the new spring small Eau de Toilette Spray set ($48) from Vera Bradley.
From L-R: Appleberry Champagne, Cotton Flower, Macaroon Rose, as well as Vanilla Sea Salt.
The very first time I opened the set, I was struck by the familiar packaging. It was just the type of thing I partner with Vera Bradley.
The brand was established in 1982 by Barbara Bradley Baekgaard as well as Patricia Miller, as well as while finest understood for their uniquely patterned bags, they’ve broadened to include accessories like wallets, cosmetic cases, jewelry, stationary and, recently, perfume!
The set right here includes four fragrances in a purse-friendly 10 ml. Each scent is stated to “evoke” a different feeling or emotion.
The back of the box likewise doubles as a mirror…
All of the scents in the set are likewise offered in 50ml as well as 15ml sizes.
Upon opening the box itself, I might certainly smell…something. I wasn’t sure which perfume it was as well as believed that one of them may be leaking or have a loose cap. getting the private vials out of the box was rather challenging as well as took some prodding, however I ultimately got them free.
Appleberry Champagne
Appleberry Champagne, while at very first seeming not to have any type of particular scent, leaves a good crisp hint of apple after it’s enabled to rest on your skin.
Cotton Flower
Cotton Flower, unfortunately, didn’t have the exact same result. It reminded me heavily of other “cotton” scents I’ve understood in the past (think bath as well as Body clean Cotton) as well as faded quickly.
Macaroon Rose
Macaroon increased was surprisingly light as well as floral, as you may expect, however dissatisfied me in its general bouquet. The increased scent was much more of an concept of what a increased scent ought to be as well as didn’t include any type of of the myriad undertones that increased scents are understood for (like bergamot, vanilla, as well as tobacco, to name a few of my favorites).
Vanilla Sea Salt

Vanilla Sea Salt [turned out to be] one of my favorites, oddly sufficient (odd for the sole reason that vanilla is potentially my least preferred scent, ever), since I discover it to be quickly overdone, particularly in perfume (and candles!), however this formula was enjoyable as well as reminded me of vanilla sugar cookies.
Overall, I’m not sure exactly how I feel about the long lasting impacts of Vera Bradley’s perfumes. They don’t seem to last longer than an hour or two at many for me, as well as what remains after that isn’t extremely strong. I believe I’d be much more thinking about their body lotions or the candle choices they have.
What are your preferred perfumes as well as scents? Are you a fan of Vera Bradley products?
