If you’re like me, you love learning what perfumes hold a special meaning to people. I totally geeked out when Eva Mendes posted about a scent from her childhood — not only because of how she lit up as she described it, but also because it’s available on Amazon for only $13!
“This is my infancia [childhood],” the actress exclaimed in an Instagram post. In the video, Mendes douses herself in the Agustin Reyes Royal Violets Eau de Cologne. “It’s heaven. You know how scents really take you back? It’s just crazy and amazing.”
This scent is considered a classic in Cuba, and while Mendes grew up in Miami, her parents immersed her in their Cuban heritage with the help of this cologne. For decades, it was used as a baby cologne because the calming violet aroma would help lull infants to sleep. However, the soothing, powdery scent has an effortless sophistication to it, and adults also adore dabbing it on their pulse points.
Compared to modern perfumes, Royal Violets is simple and subtle — but that doesn’t mean it won’t leave an impact. It features one note (violet), which has a gorgeous powdery essence to it. It smells clean, delicate and fresh, leading people to believe that it’s your natural fragrance.
The gorgeous scent has near-perfect reviews on Amazon, with many shoppers writing about how it takes them back to their childhood. “My mom would put this on me when I was a toddler, and I used it on my children from birth to toddler age,” one shopper wrote. “It is not irritating on skin. I have family members who are very sensitive to perfumes and certain scents but this is not irritating to their senses.”
Beyond the sensitive skin-friendly formula (and the heavenly scent), the price is also right. The bottle will last you a very long time. And truthfully, the under $20 scent rivals some of the most prestigious perfumes made today.
Why drop over $200 on a fragrance when you can smell great for pennies? See what all the fuss is about and add the Agustin Reyes Royal Violets Eau de Cologne to your cart today.
