The Gift of a Scent

December 5, 2016 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 36 Comments

The gift of a scent is one of the best gifts you can give a perfume lover like me because you are not only giving me a perfect present I would love, you are also gifting me a memory. And since it is the season of giving, I have been thinking of various fragrances and perfumes and which scents I would love to give and receive this Christmas. Choosing the right scent for a loved one can be very tricky, you have to get it right which means you have to know what scents the person would like. It can’t be too strong or too mild, it can be a weak or an overpowering fragrance, it has to be just perfect. Which is why I won’t recommend you buy a perfume as a Christmas gift except you know the recipient of the gift inside out.

Here are a few perfume ideas you may find useful –

 

Estée Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge Eau De Parfum Spray

Product Review: Viktor and Rolf Bonbon Couture Eau de Parfum Intense

Viktor and Rolf BONBON COUTURE Image

I am a big fan of Deutsch brand – Viktor and Rolf. I have used a few of the brand’s perfumes and I am currently hooked on all of them. I reviewed the Bonbon by Viktor and Rolf some months ago, and I raved about how much I was in love with it. So you can imagine the joy when this Bonbon Couture Eau de Parfum Intense dropped on my doorstep. I was over the moon with excitement.

This Viktor & Rolf Bonbon Couture is all I thought it would be and more; it is a more intense interpretation of the original Bonbon fragrance. Viktor & Rolf have described this new fragrance as the new evolution of the original haute confection fragrance, drawing inspiration from the provocative masterpieces, glamour and elegance of their Haute Couture collections.

Top notes: mandarin, neroli, peach
Heart: orange blossom, sambac jasmine, caramel
Base: sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, white tobacco
Here are my thoughts on the Bonbon Couture –

  1. I adore the design of the bottle, I think it is really pretty. It is quite similar to the original Bonbon bottle but this bottle is a darker shade of pink with a lighter, matte bow.
  2. I am in love with the fragance. It is similar to the original Bonbon fragrance but this is more intense and more luxurious.
  3. It is a long-lasting fragance, it stayed on all day, and I didn’t have to re-apply.

CONS

None.

The Viktor and Rolf Bonbon Couture Eau de Parfum Intense is an amazing fragrance. I am looking forward to using this fragrance this autumn/winter. I recommend this perfume to any woman in need of a strong fragrance this season, or if you feel like spoiling yourself, the Viktor and Rolf Bonbon Couture Eau de Parfum Intense is the way to go.

This fragrance will be available at Selfridges from 14th September. The prices are – £57 for a 30ml bottle, £79 for a 50ml bottle and £109 for a 90ml bottle.

Product Review: Dolce & Gabbana rose the one

Dolce and Gabbana The One Image

 

I am so obsessed with perfumes. I love smelling good, and like to have a few good fragrances around at a time. I have been using this Dolce & Gabbana rose the one eau de parfum for months now, and I think it is a great fragrance to have. Prior to using this perfume, I used the original Dolce & Gabbana the one eau de parfum and I liked that as well, so I wasn’t too surprised at how good ‘rose the one’ was.

Here is what the brand has to say about this perfume:

Rose The One is a breath-taking realization of a contemporary feminine floral and a deftly sensual paean to the eternal romance of the rose. The scent is exhilarating and bursting with joie de vivre without surrendering any of the one’s famously seductive magnetism. Unfettered by convention, she is unafraid of everything, her own emotions not least. Warm, open, yet maintaining a certain mystery.

 

Here are my thoughts on this perfume:

PROS

  1. It is a sweet-smelling, light, feminine scent. Great for day or night.
  2. This fragrance is long-lasting, it stays on all day.
  3. I love the elegant bottle. It looks amazing on my dressing table.
  4. A 50ml bottle goes for £62. Some may see that as pricey, but I see it as money well spent.

CONS

None.

I love everything about Dolce & Gabbana rose the one. It smells amazing and stays on all day. What more could a girl ask for?

I recommend this perfume to anyone in need of a day and night fragrance. If you love the classic rose fragrance, you will adore this perfume. It is worth every penny.

You can grab a bottle here.
