A spritz of perfume is one of the easiest ways for me to add a little extra confidence to my day. My hair can be a mess, my outfit can be meh, but if I smell nice, I feel a whole lot better about how I’m presenting myself to the world.
After using the same two fragrances for a good decade, I’ve expanded my sensory horizon and am trying on new fragrances to see how they fit me, my skin, and my life.
While I’ve always been a fan of Vera Wang’s gorgeous gown designs, I had never tried one of her fragrances. When given the opportunity to test out her latest scent I jumped at the chance. Vera Wang Marigold and Gardenia is the newest fragrance in the Vera Wang Embrace collection. It’s the perfect mix of fruity and floral notes, designed to make you feel confident, beautiful, and sexy. The best part? It’s only $29.99!
Do gardenias make anyone else think of this Mandy Moore song? It’s one of my absolute favorite songs. And it’s an ideal description of this fragrance. Sultry, fresh, and wonderfully feminine.
I loved Vera Wang Marigold and Gardenia as soon as I smelled it and see myself wearing it a lot in the future. I love that it’s such a full fragrance, but isn’t the least bit overpowering. It’s perfect for both the office and date nights.

I got a few free samples of Vera Wang’s Embrace collection a few months ago. I love the green tea one! I’ll have to try this one, too.

I need to try the green tea fragrance! I absolutely love this one!
Gina says
I’ve never tried this collection! I love wearing perfume – if I walk out the door without a spritz I feel so “off” ! 🙂 It definitely makes me feel put together too!
Erin says
Yes! It’s amazing what a nice scent can do!

Hi Erin! Great post, I love Vera Wang! I also love the kitty jewelry dish in the photos — can you tell me where it’s from?!
Erin says
Hey Nichole! Absolutely! It’s from a local Omaha maker. Her online store is here: http://shopearthenjoy.com/ She doesn’t have the kitty dishes listed for sale but I’m sure if you reach out to her via email she can send you one. I think I paid $15?

Thank you!!
