SCRATCH AND SNIFF
Downgrade your perfume. Upgrade your sex appeal.
When the words Crazylibellule And The Poppies first floated through the city, I thought it was a band. I imagined them like Coco Rosie, but with the dangerous child faces of The Plasticines and the jeans of Jane Birkin.
But I was wrong. Crazylibellule And The Poppies isn't a rock group, not even in the Jem and the Holograms sense. It's really a cult perfume from France, that's quietly crossed the ocean into a new obsession: America.
CAP scents come in yummy "flavors" like Jasmine Banana, Blue Orchid, and Vanilla Frosting. They're smaller than travel deoderant and allow for mixing/ matching, so if you want to smell like sex and sugar, that can happen with a quick spray.
Combining fragrances is also a great way to make sure you don't smell like somebody else - though unless you're hanging out with Clémence Poésie, that probably won't happen for at least another month.

I have one of these but in a solid version--its jasmine and its called Cloud Nine, it smells AMAZING.
I got it at Anthropologie, they were on sale, but they might still have some!

You guys did an online bit about this brand a few months ago, and I found a store that sold them in Berlin when I visited there, and I trekked all the way across the city to guy buy some, but they were all out! D:
But the guy was so nice and went in the back and got me a free sample he had left over. Pralines and Vanilla! Nomnomnom. I'm still using it like six months later.
