There has been a recent resurgence in the fragrance category, which has reignited my love for perfume. Many of my friends are now asking me about “clean” fragrances and alcohol-free perfume, and one brand that immediately comes to mind is GLOSS MODERNE. I recently discovered and fell in love with their Clean Luxury Roll-On Perfume Oil in the scent Rêves, a vibrant fragrance with Mediterranean vibes.
What We Love About It
This scent transports me to a sexy, sunny day in Positano, a city I visited on my honeymoon. It’s citrusy and lemony at first, but the vetiver, clove, and musk add depth and warmth. The brand describes it as “a celebration of the wonderment of dreams…an ethereal fragrance that captures the vibrant beauty of a new day on the skin.”
There’s something undeniably luxurious about pulling out this chic little rollerball from your purse. The modern and sophisticated Italian glass packaging is a standout, and the 15ml size makes it easy to carry in even the tiniest clutch. You can discreetly apply it without worrying about accidentally spraying someone behind you. I personally apply it on my wrist and behind my right ear, as I tend to hug people on my left side, so they get a whiff of my right side. You can also roll the perfume on your décolleté or any other pulse points.
The perfume is a luxurious and nourishing oil that I appreciate for its long-lasting power. Additionally, being vegan and alcohol-free, it is a more skin-friendly option for those with sensitive skin. However, it’s always important to do a patch test if you know you are sensitive to essential oils. Ultimately, knowing your skin is key.
Key Notes
The top notes feature mandarin zest, sparkling lemon, and mint blossom. The heart of the fragrance includes Mediterranean grapefruit, pure ginger, and black pepper. The base notes consist of white vetiver, clove bud, and sheer musk.
