Perfume Review – Chanel Sycomore Eau de Parfum

February 21, 2025 By in Product Reviews Tags: , , , , Leave a comment

I love my Chanel perfumes, so falling in love with this baby right here was easy! Chanel Sycomore Eau de Parfum is a unisex fragrance from the Les Exclusifs de Chanel collection. I sniffed it while shopping in Paris last summer and knew I had to have it. The fragrance is warm, woody, spicy, and smoky, so if that sounds like the sort of scent you like, you would love Chanel Syc0more Eau de Parfum.

Chanel Sycomore Eau de Parfum reminds me of the earthy scent of Vetiver. It smells amazing yet not overpowering. This is a perfume that sits close to the skin, so the projection is not as strong as some of the other fragrances in my collection. Having said that, it does the job perfectly when I want my perfume to stay closer to my skin.

Perfume Review – Chanel Sycomore Eau de Parfum

The fragrance SYCOMORE was created by Gabrielle Chanel in 1930. Named for a giant tree, SYCOMORE evokes the earthy nature of autumn. It recounts the heat radiating from the earth, like an echo to Mademoiselle’s childhood amongst the centuries-old volcanoes in Auvergne.

SYCOMORE by Chanl is composed around the smoky scent of vetiver. Its notes of cedar and vanilla leave behind a reassuring, slightly spicy fragrant touch.

PROS
  1. The bottle was beautifully wrapped, and the service at the store was amazing.
  2. I love the fragrance a lot. I find it so refreshing.
  3. It is a unisex fragrance and is one of those fragrances you can wear all through the year.
  4. I like that Sycomore is not overpowering at all. It is an easy scent to wear.
CONS
  1. I would have preferred if this perfume had a bit more projection. It becomes a skin scent after a few hours, it would have been lovely to have it project a little longer.

Overall, I would rate this perfume 7/10. It is a lovely fragrance to try out, especially for the clean skin scent lovers. I also got samples from the other fragrances in the Chanel Exclusif range, and they are all so good. I wish I could have a full-sized bottle of them all!

What do you think of Chanel Sycomore? Have you tried this fragrance before? Are you a fan of Chanel perfumes?

Perfume Review – Fendi La Baguette Eau de Parfum

January 31, 2025 By in Lifestyle, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , Leave a comment

Fendi La Baguette Eau de Parfum is one of the fragrances I got in Paris last summer, and I am so in love with it. This unisex gourmand fragrance was launched in June 2024 by the perfumer – Anne Flipo. Fendi La Baguette is such a lovely perfume. It ticks all my fragrance boxes and I am so in love with it. La Baguette is one of my current favourites from my perfume collection. This is my second Fendi perfume; I had one many years ago, and that was also really good, but La Baguette is the best perfume I have ever tried from Fendi.

Fendi La Baguette Eau de Parfum Description

Now, the universal appeal of the Baguette has been captured in a fragrance by master perfumer Anne Flipo. A floral, powdery iris from France imbues it with the sophistication of the iconic bag. Behind it, a Madagascar vanilla: the indulgence of a sweet dessert, a pleasure to share. Uniting them, a sensual, velvety leather note.

Perfume Notes

  • Iris ultimate from France
  • Leather accord of the perfumer’s creation
  • Vanilla CO2 crafted with sun-dried beans from Madagascar

PROS
  1. I love the powdery sweet scent. It smells so good
  2. It is quite long-lasting, with good sillage and projection.
  3. I love the elegant design of the bottle. It is a beauty to behold
  4. This fragrance is not overwhelming at all. It is light enough to wear on a warm summer day, and yet cool enough to wear on chilly days and nights.
CONS

None. I love everything about this perfume.

Overall, I would rate Fendi La Baguette Eau de Parfum 8/10. It is such a beautiful fragrance and I highly recommend it. If you are looking for a new fragrance to try, you may want to this new scent by Fendi. It stands out from the rest, and since it’s unisex, it is a fragrance you could gift your partner this Valentine Day.

Perfume Review – Parfums de Marly Feminine Discovery Set

January 11, 2025 By in Lifestyle, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , 2 Comments

Hey friends! Happy New Year! Welcome to the wonderful 2025! I hope you have all had an amazing start to the year. I came across Parfums de Marly sometime ago and fell in love with the sweet-smelling brand. Their perfumes are some of the best and smell so good. This Feminine Discovery Set was my introduction to the brand. I wanted to have a feel of what their feminine fragrances smelt like and opting for the discovery set rather than a full-sized bottle straightaway made a lot of sense. Plus, the £37 you put towards buying this Feminine Discovery Set could be redeemed as a discount when buying a full-sized perfume within a limited period.

The Parfums de Marly eau de parfum discovery set is a curated collection of splendid femininity. Discover the feminine range through a bespoke selection of seven 1.5ml scents. The set is the perfect olfactory curation, as it allows one to explore the best in traditional and modern perfumery. The feminine fragrances include the Maison’s iconic fragrances: Valaya, Delina, Delina Exclusif, Delina La Rosée, Cassili, Oriana, and Meliora.

Perfume Review image
PROS
  • I love all the fragrances. They smell really good. My top four favourites are Valaya, Delina, Delina Exclusif, and Meliora.
  • My top 4 fragrances are very long-lasting. They stay on pretty much all day and a little goes a long way. You don’t have to overspray these queens at all.
  • I love how different each fragrance is, there is something unique about each perfume.
CONS
  • I didn’t fancy Cassilli and Oriana. I found them a bit too light, I tend to prefer beast mode/heavy fragrances. I liked Delina La Rosee but it wasn’t long-lasting.

Overall, I am stuck on Parfums de Marly. I have quite a few bottles already in my collection and I am looking to add some more. So keep reading, there will be lots of perfume review posts coming up.
