(Fragrance Giveaway and Review): Getting Patriotic with Lady Caron
I know you’re thinking isn’t Caron French? Yes it is, but Lady Caron is an homage to all that is great about America. During WWII Caron founder Ernest Daltroff fled Europe and the Nazi threat for the US. Like most immigrants he came to Ellis Island and on his way saw our leading light, The Lady of Liberty. He was so inspired and vowed to create a scent for to the country he adopted and that adopted him. In his lifetime Daltroff never did create that scent, but in 1998 Caron’s new owner Patrick Ales honored that wish and finally created Lady Caron.
Lady Caron is a big beautiful white floral. It’s also a chypre type of perfume.
It blooms with magnolia, jasmine, neroli and lovely tuberose but is never overpowering. There is rose, lightly and the barest hint of fruit to add a touch of sweetness. Oakmoss and sandalwood are the base notes to ground it and give it depth. Overall though, there are the lush florals. Ladylike and elegant but modern with great staying power, Lady Caron is one of my all time favorites. It’s for you if you like white florals and pretty feminine fragrances that have a hint of sophistication about them.
Lady Caron’s bottle also reflects the Statue of Liberty with an embossed image of the iconic statue gracing it. In keeping with the patriotic mood of the perfume, this fragrance is available only in the US.
You can find Lady Caron at many online outlets, Saks and Nordstrom stores as well as the Caron boutique in NY (1-877-88CARON).

L’air du Temps, light and airy like a perfect summer day in Vermont.
I would love to win this fragrance! Some of my family members (on my Jewish side) actually fled the holocaust a few minutes before being placed in the gas chambers. My grandpa was a Jewish Hungarian diplomat. We found out a year ago that there were some recorded sessions of him talking about the Holocaust! Unfortunately he passed on just a few years ago.
This fragrance would mean so much to me because it would bring all of those wonderful memouries back of my grand and where we have come from and where we are going.
One of my favourite perfumes is Armani Mania because it reminds me of all of my European blood and heritage, from the cheekiness to the hard working family members we have had in our lives. It has a bold but subtle scent and has been my scent for a few years now. I love it!!!
I would be so blessed to win this fragrance to bring all those wonderful memories back of my heritage. Thank you
DKNY Be Delicious. Its simple fruit notes are pleasing to the senses without being too overpowering.
Cool Water for women. It reminds me of my high school summers.
Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana is my favorite summer holiday perfume. It’s like I’m on a hammock between two trees feeling the warm ocean breezes. Can not go wrong with Red, White, and Light Blue! Happy Holidays everyone, enjoy your Fourth of July!!! @KatM21
My favorite summer perfume is Lolita Lempicka. It has almost a magical quality to it. The closest I can compare it to is a unicorn eating licorice in a field of green and violets.
I would like to win the fragrance.
I have so many favorites, but lately I’m loving Chanel 28 La Pausa and Cuir de Russie. Thanks for the great giveaway! I love Caron perfumes (especially Tabac Blond) and this is a REALLY great giveaway!!
For summer I Love Escada Pacific Paradise. I would love to win this perfume, the bottle is beautiful!
The House of Caron has produced some of the most beautiful and classic
French scents. In the 50′s people such as my mother, Grace Kelly and
Audrey Hepburn were Caron devotees. My favorite perfume is “Joy,”
a great summery floral scent.

I have treasured the use of Poivre Extraite by Caron paris. This is such an exquisite fragrance. Yet so elegant. You want to wear an authentic perfume then try it. You cant go wrong. Happy Fourth of July!
it’s an oldie but a goodie–CK One. it seems to smell like summer to me!
I love ANGEL by Thierry Mugler it reminds me of summers by the beach and a romantic beach picnic with my Hubby.
I’ve been wearing Bobby Brown’s beach for the summer. It was last summer’s anniversary president. I really don’t buy myself perfume I usually get it from my husband if I get it at all. He gave me some for Christmas. He gave me beautiful by Estee Lauder. It was cute he said hey, they named a perfume after you. How could I not wear it? I went to the Caron website and was so in awe of the beautiful bottles. Do people really wear that wonderful perfume?
For summer really like clinique happy.
I don’t really have a favorite because I haven’t tried any of them, so this would be something new to me.
The bottle is so appropriate for the holiday weekend! When you say summer time fave, I’m left having to admit that fragrance and summer is typically ruled by sunscreen and there isn’t much perfume use out on the patio.
My summer fragrance is Adidas Moves.
I love Apple Bottom Fragrance, it has all the smells that are great for a happy 4th!
One of my favorites is I Love Love Perfume by Moschino. It’s a fun fragrance.
Thanks!

White Shoulders. I know it’s pretty old school and out of favor currently, but there is a reason that it’s been around so long. It’s light and classic.

I used to love the Corinne Cobson Love Etc fragrance (it smelled like cinammon and carrot cake, so…so did I!) Unfortunately it is no longer made, but I found a fragrance I love just recently, Bombshell by Victoria’s Secret. It’s very very light and citrusy, perfect for summer. I have to admit though, just the NAME Lady Caron gives me visions of the movie Gigi..Leslie Caron in Paris in Spring…I would love to keep that alive with a fragrance.
i love my kenzo! light and airy
Vera Wang Princess, it is light and clean
Romeo Gigli – a white floral – feminine and flirty.
For the summer I’m wearing Bronze Goddess by Estee Lauder (2nd summer in a row lol)
My favorite is Poison. But I love all sorts of different scents…i like to experiment
WUD LOVE TO WIN IT

I Love several different perfumes, but my favorite one which is getting harder to find is Dark Vanilla. One that I will always remember as my all time favorite, but is no longer made is Loves musky jasmine flower!
I use Truth by Calvin Kline which is ok for winter holidays but a little heavy for summer holidays.
I like the freshness of Magnolia and the hint of rose this fragrance suggests. @bam66
A new summer surprise for me is Caron Narcisse Noir. I just purchased a bottle but thought it would be too heavy for the near 100 degree temps here. Not so! It was luscious and wonderful. Even received compliments!
This 4th of July I wore Bronze Goddess. Simple, lighthearted, good in the sun, and everyone seems to like it!
Thanks for hosting this generous draw. Fingers crossed!
Falling in Love Philosophy!!!!
My favorite summer perfume hands down is Hermes Après la Mousson. I know it has a lot of haters but to me it smells heavenly–all gingery melon like a tropical getaway away but without the coppertone. I reach for it all the time, though I have several other summer faces in rotation, too. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Hally Berry’s pure orchid……love this for its floral scent..
