There are an awful lot of perfumes lining my shelves. Some have been there for years and others are much newer. An example of the latter? The Mod Blush and Mod Vanilla perfumes from Ariana Grande. Over the years, there have been many Ariana Grande fragrance reviews here on Mansa Fashion. It only makes sense...the bottles are bold, interesting, and totally unique. As for the scents, those tend to be sweet and warm. Out of all her fragrances, my most worn are R.E.M., Thank U Next, and Cloud. But who knows? That might change now that Mod Blush and Mod Vanilla are on the scene. Curious about these celebrity perfumes? Here is everything you need to know about Mod Blush and Mod Vanilla from Ariana Grande. 

Though I am not someone who designates certain perfumes "only" for summer or "only" for fall, there are some scents that I find myself reaching for more often during specific seasons. Since summer is fully underway (though you would never know it if you stepped into my home right now, since I am watching "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" while I write this) it only makes sense to highlight some of the perfumes in my collection that have been in heavy rotation lately. These are not necessarily summer scents, but these are scents that I love to wear most often when the weather is warm. 

The last little while has been difficult. Everyone said that COVID was like a cold or a flu, but that has certainly not been my experience. It has been difficult and long lasting. Even still, I am not feeling back to normal. Thankfully, there have been little things making my life happier lately. When you aren't feeling well...those small comforts mean the most. Take a peek at some of my current favourites, including some music, television shows, books, perfume, clothes, and beauty products. 

Neon stands out for all the right reasons. Generally speaking, it is difficult for me to walk past a neon accessory, shirt, or well, anything bright, bold, and in-your-face. (This includes makeup. Neon makeup is exciting and a little bit terrifying at the same time.) There is something undeniably fun about all things neon. Since I love both neon and Juicy Couture...it stands to reason that my husband would select the Viva La Juicy Neon Eau de Parfum from Juicy Couture as a gift for me. After all, it checks all the boxes. Cute bottle? Check. Lots of pink? Check. This is definitely a perfume that makes me smile. Ready to find out more about this Juicy Couture release? Here is everything you need to know about this neon inspired fragrance. 

The Kardashians are my weakness. Though there are lots of naysayers out there...I really enjoy their shows and products. Especially their perfumes. Over the years, many different Kardashian perfumes have been added to my collection. (My favourites are Gold and Unbreakable Bond.) Yes, this famous family is well known for releasing makeup, perfume, and beauty products. When I stumbled upon the perfume, Nude Suede, from the KKW Fragrance Essential Nudes collection, it was a no brainer. The price point was a little high and there was no tester in sight, but the item was added to my cart. Since there were no KKW fragrances in my collection at the time, it was exciting to finally try one from the brand. Keep reading for a full review...

Dolly Parton is a beloved icon. And for good reason! Countless hit singles and albums. Sold out concert tours. Big budget movies and TV specials. Books. Not to mention all of her philanthropy. (The Imagination Library is especially wonderful.) Dolly is a treasure. Her kindness and care for all is admirable and seems to bridge the gap even during times of division. There is something so special about her. I have been a fan for a long time and could not resist the Dolly Parton Scent From Above set. Back when I was visiting Frankenmuth in the fall, there was a bit of time to do some shopping. We were browsing the shelves and bam: there is was. Without a tester available, this was purchased without ever smelling it. I figured the bottle was nice enough that even if the scent wasn't my favourite...there was something to enjoy. Ready to find out more about the Scent From Above set? It is time to take a closer look at the set and find out more about the fragrance itself. 

Who can resist a holiday gift set? Not me. There is something so thrilling about seeing items you love perfectly packaged. Not too long ago, my husband was out and about and saw the Ariana Grande Cloud Holiday Gift Set on display. He snapped a photo and sent it to me. Honestly? It was love at first look. Lucky for me, he decided to treat me to the Ariana Grande gift set. Since then, all of the items inside have been put to good use. Ready to take a look inside the set? Find out what was so intriguing about the seasonal release? Here is everything you need to know about this celebrity perfume set.

Harry Potter has been a constant in my life. I have such wonderful memories of lining up for book releases and midnight screenings of the movies. Of staying up too late reading and re-reading the books. Of relaxing on a Sunday afternoon with my favourite Harry Potter film. Though the author is not someone I support any longer, I still love the Harry Potter world. (It is hard to believe that someone who wrote about love and understanding could be so...well...you know.) The stories were about good versus evil, confronting your fears, and doing the right thing. They were about friendship, found family, and love. It makes sense that these stories have connected with so many readers and viewers around the world. Since Harry Potter is still an important part of my life, it was hard to resist the latest Charmed Aroma release: a Love Potion Candle. 

Perfume is the easiest pick-me-up there is. Having a tough day? Is it raining outside? Need a little self care but have an endless to do list to take care of? A quick spritz of a special scent can immediately lift your spirits and make everything seem a little sunnier. It is amazing how the right scent can totally turn things around. Smell is linked to emotions, memory, and creativity...and that makes each and every perfume in your collection incredibly powerful. Personally, I love having lots of different scents to choose from. Sometimes, I choose something light and refreshing. Other times, it is something musky and rich. For the days where I am looking for something fruity and feminine? ARI by Ariana Grande is a must. Lately, I have been totally obsessing over this fabulous fragrance. 

Scents are powerful. Meaningful. Inspirational. There are some in my collection that are saved for special occasions, some that have special memories and some that are ideal for everyday wear. When it comes to Paris Hilton fragrances....there is a little bit of everything. "With Love" is a special occasion kind of scent. "Tease" has special memories. And the "Passport" line is more than suitable for everyday wear. Speaking of the "Passport" line of perfumes! One of my current favourites is South Beach. This is something that has been in my collection for years. It was originally released in 2010 and has been a fan favourite ever since.
