Peridot Love with The Sage Lifestyle Roll-On Perfume Oil

Greetings, dear readers! I hope your week has been off to a great start! I'm coming at you later in the day the usual as it has been a busy few days. After coming off of the work stages of being sick, my family found ourselves at one of our local shelters this weekend adopting a few canine friend for our Rottweiler. It's been fun, but she has kept me on my toes as we've introduced her to our dog and cat, in addition to working on house training her. She's a great addition to the family and we're happy to have her join us. Now on to today's blog post!

Press Sample

For quite awhile, I used to think I didn't like perfumes. I would go to Sephora and check out the "popular" brands my friends were enjoying, and nothing was quite right for me. I rarely have brand loyalty when it comes to the products I love and use the most, so that certainly didn't help in my hunt for perfumes that suited me. That is, until two years ago, when I discovered The Sage Lifestyle.

Inspired by gemstones, The Sage Lifestyle offers assorted perfume oils and eau de toilettes to suit your fancy, whether you prefer light florals or rich earthy scents. I don't exactly have a specific fragrance type I like, and for me, fragrances are either "the one" of they are not. What took me by surprise, when it came to smelling the 21 options by The Sage Lifestyle, is just how much I love so many of them! In honor of August and the corresponding gemstone peridot, let's look at some details about the perfume roll-on of the same name!


This exotic, sexy Fig fragrance starts with a classic, grassy fig note set like a jewel amongst notes of warmth and depth. The slightest hint of sparkling Blood Orange plays off the fruity qualities of the fig, and draws deeper into the richness of the base note accord on which this fragrance lives. Deep Ambers mingle with variety of Fresh Musk notes to create a scent that wears close to the body, becoming part of you. A subtle touch of Oak Moss and Essential Vanilla anchor Peridot to the skin, and to the memory of the one who wears it.

Maybe it's because I can feel the days slowly getting shorter, or maybe it is still the heat that lingers on my skin as the summer is winding down, but I cannot seem to get enough of this sumptuous fragrance. I can be dressed to the nines for a date with the hubby or casual in my capris and a T-shirt, and I feel positively resplendent whenever I wear this fragrance. I dab a little on my wrists, behind my ears, and at my cleavage for a sexy experience that keeps with me all day.



Something I find interesting about this particular fragrance is I'm not crazy about the scent in the bottle, nor am I fond of the first 10 to 15 minutes of dry down. I don't care for grassy scents, and this one is very much grassy during these times. I decided I still needed to try this on me as body chemistry matters so much when it comes to perfumes, and does this one join mine for a perfectly harmonious duet!

Shown above is the 1/8 oz size. Small and compact, it is contained within a beautiful washi paper tube that helps to protect the contents from light as well as offer protection for traveling.

Retail: $45 for 1/8 oz
            $85 for 1/4 oz

If you are in the market for a new favorite perfume, I wholeheartedly recommend checking out the options offered by The Sage Lifestyle! There is a handy fragrance guide on the website to help you narrow down which scents would be best for you. If you are still undecided, you can purchase small sample vials that will allow for several days of wear to determine if a fragrance is right for you. I really love that this is an option offered by The Sage Lifestyle, and this is actually how I discovered I am highly sensitive, if not allergic, to true Gardenia. I'm a little bummed about that as theMoonstone and Garnet perfumes both utilize gardenia and smell heavenly!

Peridot is one of those gemstones that never seems to get a lot of love in general, and wearing this perfume roll-on allows for a whole new peridot experience. If you or someone you know is an August baby, or if you are looking for a scent that is the perfect blend of green and warm sensuality, the Peridot Perfume Roll-On is for you! This scent is going to pair perfectly with your scarves and boots this upcoming fall season!

    1. I'm glad to hear that! I like the colour as well, but most of the August babies I know hate it. I know you enjoy vanilla scents, and you may want to check out Pearl in particular!

    1. I only get the grass part about the first 10 minutes during dry down, but I don't know if it is then masked by my own body chemistry or if the grassiness actually goes go that quickly.

  4. Neat concept to match the Birthstone for the month! This one is for mine but I'm with you not usually a fan of grassy scent but would be interesting to smell after it adjusted to body chemistry!

    1. It's more general stones as some aren't birthstones, but Sage has done most of the birthstones. As a March baby, I'm kind of hoping to see her tackle aquamarine or even bloodstone since that is a less common alternate. I originally received a small sample vial of Peridot with an order awhile back, and while I wasn't crazy about the grassiness, I decided to try it on me one day. I really love a lot of Sage's scents, but this one just might be my favorite on me!

  5. Obviously I'd have to sniff it in person, but from the notes I can already tell that I would likely love this fragrance. I love anything with fig, blood orange, and vanilla!

    1. I have an acute sense of smell, but deciphering different notes isn't my strong suite as I only recently really got into scents. I'm not sure that I've come across many with fig before, but I do love this one. It feels like it has more depth and richness than a large variety of other fragrances I've sampled in the past.

  6. I like the simplicity of the packaging. It's interesting to see what they consider best determined by your birthday.

    1. Sage's creations really focus on the feelings and memories scents evoke. In creating her scents, she does a lot of research about the history of the gemstones and from there creates a scent profile. I really admire the process as it is more involved than just pairing a scent up with a random stone.
