AERIN Beauty : Waterlily Sun

Truth be told, finding a fragrance that works for me can be a tricky endeavor. I am sensitive to strong smells, so I steer clear of overbearingly powerful scents. On the flip side, I adore finding that perfect scent, as the sense of smell is a powerful sense. A scent can change our mood, awaken certain feelings, and even transport us back to wonderful memories.

This summer, AERIN Beauty introduced a new collection of fragrances. Knowing that everything Aerin Lauder does is done with the utmost style and sophistication, I knew I had to try the fragrances. There are seven distinct scents in the collection, but I quickly honed in on my favorite: waterlily sun.

Waterlily Sun is inspired by Aerin’s visits as a young girl Claude Monet’s garden in Giverny, France – one of my favorite places in the world. Monet’s garden, filled with lily ponds and flowers, evokes such a sense of calmness, serenity, peacefulness, and beauty. And the AERIN Beauty scent does the same. It is a wonderfully delicate, fresh fragrance filled with soft florals and dewy greens.

I encourage you to check out this lovely line of scents and find your favorite.
