Tocca's newest fragrance 'Isabel' is centered around a chic city girl from Barcelona. Like this girl from Barcelona the fragrance is unconventional yet an remarkable beauty. Like the city it is eclectic, unpredictable, and captivating, Isabel's natural magnetism draws you in.
Isabel is a predominately rose scented scent but it has a unique twist to it that makes it somewhat special. With top notes that include Bergamot, Mediterranean Orange, Pear, and Sangria Accord it has a real zing and freshness. Its middle notes are where its rose lies with Spanish Rose, Leather Accord, Vetyver, and Turkish Rose Petals, making the fragrance floral and sophisticated. To round it all out it has bottom notes of Guiacwood, Amber, and Vanilla, to add depth and warmth to the overall feel.
I love rose scented perfumes, in fact give me anything rose scented and I am happy, but don't shy away from this fragrance if 'rose' or 'floral's' really isn't your thing. There is so much more to this than just rose, it is zingy, light, but has depth at the same time. I think what I am trying to say is that if you read my review or have ever smelt Aerin Rose de Grasse than this is nothing like it. They are both rose scented, yes, but they could not be more different. When smelling it out of the bottle you can really sniff the top notes coming through, the Pear, Orange, and Sangria, and with some Spanish Rose too. Once applied to the skin and left to settle the bottom notes really come through, you get the warmth and depth from the Amber and Vanilla. For me this is a fragrance you can wear any time any place, it could be worn year round, during the day or for a night out, it is incredibly versatile. Right now during summer it will most likely be my evening fragrance just because I like something very light when it's hot, but come fall, spring, and winter it will be my go to all day long. Another thing that needs a mention, this stuff has some serious lasting power! Friday morning I sprayed it on at 7AM, by the time I got in the shower at around 9PM it was still prominently there. Tocca is such a charming brand, the name 'Isabel' for this fragrance is absolutely perfect and the packaging is beautiful. The brass/gold antiqued lid is breathtaking, the intricate design of the birds and leaves is just so pretty. Not to mention that the bottle is lovely and heavy, and feels substantial, maybe not the best for traveling. Also the box carries the same design as the cap with gold foil details, it's the little things. If you are looking for that perfect summer evening scent or a perfume you can wear year round then make sure you check this out. You can purchase now from Sephora or directly from Tocca for $68, and remember to check out their other fragrances; they do a ton of different scents in cute roller balls too! Love...
