I love recommending products that go off the beaten path. girlie by debraRODMAN is a newly launched indie fragrance. The scent embodies a modern take on what it means to be girlie. The fragrance presents a provocative look at the eternal feminine state of being girlie. The bouquet is tough and tender, sweet and sexy, carefree and coquettish. girlie represents the freedom to decide.  “Each layer of scent has been carefully fused to paint the impression of a woman who equally loves her femininity as her edge, her seduction as her independence, her sexiness as her innocence”. girlie embraces all that is modern yet classic with the infusion of ancient ingredients with dark and mystical tones to evoke energy and mystery.

• Top Notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Clove Buds
• Heart Notes: Turkish Rose, Egyptian Jasmine and Chinese Magnolia
• Base Notes: Oud, Benjoin, Labdanum, Myrrh, Amber Musk, Vanilla
