"Joy has its own flavor. It's the aroma of Sicilian citrus, sparkling and perky..." French perfumer Pierre Bourdon describes the look that inspired him to create the duo Donna Felice and Uomo Felice: "It’s past noon on a Sunday in July. A nimble Vespa flies into a round square of an ancient Sicilian town. A couple arrives on the scooter. Both appear sun-kissed and golden, young and infectiously happy. After shouting something to a group of people on the café terrace, they disappear behind the cool gray corner of a fruit shop. The couple rushes away from the city, to somewhere where orange groves burn as if with bright fire under the sun. Citrus trees cover the entire coastline, so the island looks golden from the sea. And high above the rocks and gardens, shines the sun—like a huge, juicy grapefruit in a vase with ice sorbet made from clouds."

The Donna Felice fragrance was created especially for Faberlic by the master of world perfumery Pierre Bourdon.

Fragrance: Woody Citrus.

The top notes are a walk in a shady citrus grove on a hot day. A light breeze frolicking in the treetops is permeated with refreshing aromas of bergamot, mandarin, sweet lemon, and green leaves. In the heart, there is the warmth of the sunlight, making its way through the fresh greenery. This is how the notes of lily of the valley, rose, and marigold feel, leaving a trail of sweet languor imparted by the vetiver, teakwood, and musk amber notes.

How to Apply Your Fragrance Properly?

The aromatic notes of your fragrance will be best amplified when applied to your pulse (or heat) points:

• Inner side of your wrists (where the pulse is measured).
• The insides of your elbows (especially if you’re wearing a sleeveless top).
• Behind the ears and on the sides of your neck.
• Your chest area.

In addition to your pulse points, your hair may also help carry fragrance longer. Spray on the back of your head and sides of your neck.

Alternatively, you can spray the fragrance upward into the air, creating a misty cloud of scent you can walk through before putting on clothes.

How to Choose a Fragrance?

Tip 1. Don't try too many fragrances at once: you may risk overloading your olfactory receptors which are not used to such a workout. Try to give each fragrance its own, proper test so you can remember and differentiate them.

Tip 4. When choosing a fragrance, make sure to consider the climate where you live or the weather conditions on a particular day, in addition to your social situation or setting. Opt for a delicate, subdued scent on a humid, warm day when the aroma would spread faster than in cold, dry weather. Consider fresh, light scents for the summer and richer scents for cooler fall and winter months. At work, in an office setting, you may want to wear a more discreet fragrance, whereas on a romantic night out, you can try a stronger scent to make an indelible impression on your date.

Tip 5. Make sure to have fun when shopping for a scent. The pleasure of new aromas will be the best guide in your discovery of your next new fragrance.
