ROBIN’S PICKS & GIVEAWAYS – Pamper Yourself This Holiday

This new fragrance, CLOSER by Halle Berry, borrows from the masculine and is perfected for women.  It marries the opposing fragrance facets, enveloping the masculine fougere accord with a luscious feminine blend of violet flowers and mimosa, one of Halle’s favorite flowers, and a presence in all of her perfumes.  It is a strong, sexy confident lasting scent.  I’m a huge fragrance fan, and I’m enjoying this one!
