Rock Princess Fragrance by Vera Wang

…and I thought she just did wedding dresses! 

The famous designer, Vera Wang, has a line of fragrances out that look fun!  With a name like Rock Princess, this particular one gets my attention right away. It seems comparable in price to other designer fragrances too so it’s within reach of regular people like us.  You don’t have to shop on Rodeo Drive for it either!  You might be surprised that even Wal-mart is carrying one of her fragrances (I looked online because I was curious).

You find your favorite perfume and suddenly that fragrance becomes your scent.  it’s something that identifies you and you want it to last all day.

If you apply a body lotion or cream with the same scent as your fragrance followed by applying the fragrance itself will make the scent last longer without its being too strong or overwhelming

Try it, do the layering on one arm and spray the fragrance alone on the other and compare. You will definitely notice a difference!
