a quick disclaimer: i tend to dislike most summer fragrances.  they’re just a little too peach/apricot/vanilla/rainbows/fairies for me.  but when i spied space nk’s fragrance, laughter, i had to give it a try.  doesn’t the name just make you curious?  sure enough, the moment i got a whiff of space nk’s laughter fragrance, i knew my tune was about to change.

if you’re into complex scents, you’ll love this one – the top notes are citrusy and clean, with a bit of juniper.  but the bottom notes are packed with woody amber and ginger, for a sharp, clean finish.  in other words:  a fresh, unique blend that doesn’t linger long after it’s welcome (that victoria’s secret pear lotion we were all wearing five years ago comes to mind…).  

because i like to go easy on scent during the summer, i’m happy with the light-as-air body lotion (which also happens to be packed with lovelies like almond oil, green tea and vitamin e).  okay, and the candle…there just aren’t that many home scents i can stomach in extreme heat, but this one makes me instantly feel calm and pulled together, even when the a/c’s out.  but if you’re a more classic fragrance connoisseur, you’ll definitely want to pick up the eau de parfum to add to your collection.

if you’re jonesing for a mini-splurge this week, this might be the perfect way to go.  check out the entire line at space nk – just don’t get too lost in the rest of their fabulous offerings!  it’s a dangerous place…
