Today I want to talk about my favorite women’s designer fragrance discovery for the month of August. It’s a cheapie. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone talk about this fragrance yet. But oh my gosh you guys It is a wonderful fragrance. So this is from the house of Trussardi. It’s called donna and this is eau de toilette. There’s also an Eau de parfum of this. I have not tried it. I’ve just been testing the eau de toilette. And I pretty much fell in love with this. Right away it was pretty much love at first sniff. Best Designer Women’s Perfume Trussardi

This square looking clear bottle. The EDP is just a plain opaque white. And I think this one is like an ombre white kind of thing. So at the top, there’s yuzu sedrat and watery fruits. The heart is orange blossom jasmine tea and nymphaea. And in the dry down, there’s white patchouli cedarwood sandalwood and vanilla.

So to me, this opens as a fresh and bright and sparkling jasmine tea. I just love tea fragrances, you guys. When I first smelled this I had an immediate picture in my mind. And this fragrance took me to a Japanese garden. So I’m thinking I’m sitting in a Japanese garden in the spring. I’m wearing a kimono.

And we’re drinking some jasmine green tea or white tea. Maybe white tea or maybe something in between. And everything is just so picturesque. The sun is shining giving a little bit of warmth. It’s just a beautiful elegant soft jasmine tea scent. White tea with some brightness coming from a little bit of citrus.

With also some sweetness coming from fruitiness. And I don’t know what kind of fruit. Maybe a little bit like an orange spritz. And then I’m surrounded by like this big garden of different flowers. Jasmine for sure orange.

Okay so yeah this fragrance on me performs very well. I just sprayed it a few times on my hand before I left the house. Before my bike ride and I can just feel it projecting off of my skin. You guys it’s very clean. And fresh, elegant beautiful floral tea scent fruity. Not too sweet, sparkling.

Oh, you guys it’s just giving me that perfect picture of drinking white tea in a Japanese garden. And I love it. I love this one so much. This fragrance does kind of belong in the same family as other fragrances that I’ve smelled before.

Although they’re not really the same. So if you can or if you have tried. You see miyake lodesei. You might have an idea well it’s in the same family as true Sardi donna are.

There any more oh gel Somino Nobile by Acura parma. It has that same classy elegant kind of feel to it. It’s a very smooth fragrance. It’s just gorgeous you guys. Just a work of art for real. I really really enjoy this. And I am in the mood for tea sense. So yeah Trussardi donna eau de toilette.

I would definitely recommend you try this out. If you haven’t already had you tried anything from this house. I would love to hear any recommend recommendations. Because if the other fragrances from this house are as good as this one. Then it’s definitely going to be a house that I explore more.

ZARA A SWEET PASTRY

Today I’ll be talking about ZARA A Sweet Pastry in Paris. This is also part of their newest collection called the artisan’s collection. And honestly you guys of the three that I have tested so far. This is probably my favorite of the three. So first of all let’s get into the notes they’re listed here. Lemon cane sugar and vanilla. ZARA a Sweet Pastry in Paris Review.

The price is also 15.95 for the 100 ml bottle. Which is of course a fantastic deal. And the perfumer is Natalie Larson. Who is also a very popular and well-known perfumer.

When I first tried this fragrance I was pretty much wowed by this fragrance immediately. It was better than I thought it would be you guys. It’s so good. So this is definitely a realistic literal gourmand kind of scent. If you literally want to smell like a lemon dessert. That’s very tart tangy and sweet also it’s very milky. In the opening I don’t get the texture of a pastry though. It’s more like a milky lemon cream or a lemon meringue filling kind of scent right in the beginning.

I really like how tangy the lemon is in here. At least on me, it’s quite tangy. Almost making my lips kind of pucker up a little bit. But there’s an added sweetness in here. Vanilla sugar cane that just balances that tartness. And yeah it’s so good. So as this fragrance dries down. I do start getting a little bit of that texture. But it’s more like a cakey texture rather than a pastry. Whereas a pastry texture is more like flaky. But this one is still creamy like a moist cake kind of thing. It’s still quite milky. And yeah I love this, you guys. It’s pretty much a linear scent. Well, it does change a little bit in the dry down. I get a tad of musk. But it never really takes away from the realistic. Literal lemon dessert cake-cream lemon meringue idea in this fragrance.

This fragrance isn’t super strong in the beginning. It is maybe for like a few minutes. But then it does turn into a skin scent. But longevity on this fragrance is quite good. About maybe four or five hours. But yeah guys for an affordable literal yummy delicious gourmand fragrance. This is definitely something you should check out. Especially for the price of 100 MLS for 16 euros. You really can’t go wrong. I do own something similar to this already. There’s lemon eclair by Ganesh. There’s Chanel alert ohm edition Blanche. There’s dng light blue Italian zest. Also the tartan by Laura Mercier. If you guys have tried any of those you can kind of get the same idea with this one.

Of course doesn’t smell as high quality as the other ones. But as a whole, it’s great you guys. It’s a fantastic real lemon dessert and I love this. And I definitely would recommend if you’re a gourmand lover to give this a try for sure. So that was my very quick review of ZARA A Sweet Pastry in Paris. Delicious, affordable gourmand fragrance. If you guys have tried this fragrance please let me know in the comments what you think of it.

That one was a love at first sniff for me. It was my best designer women’s perfume discovery of this month August. So now I’m curious about Valentina. I guess the Valentina pink is a flanker of this one.

But yeah the bottle again is absolutely stunning. This is just a clear bottle. It has like some pastel or muted color I know what you call neutral colors. Flowers is just a beautiful gorgeous bottle that I don’t know.

I wouldn’t mind that sitting on my in my collection just looking all pretty and stuff. The exuberant freshness of Calabrian bergamot enhanced with white alba truffle the irreverence of Amalfi orange blossom touched by wild strawberry.

The captivating sensuality of cedar and amber. So it sounds really nice. I’m not really sure what white alba truffle is. But wild strawberry orange blossom it sounds like it’s just going to be a nice light fruity floral scent.

Maybe some musk in there. But yeah I’ll just give it a try. I have the sample here. Again I think the bottles are just absolutely stunning.

All right it’s fresh. I’m not getting any uh strawberry or anything yet. I’m getting mostly like a neroli type of scent. Like a sweet neroli. Is it um orange blossom in here. Yeah, Amalfi orange blossom.

What my nose is getting is like. I thought of neroli first but then the sweetness of like a mandarin orange. Yeah, this is a very soft fragrance.

It feels very elegant. Wow just like based on this first sniff. It looks like it’s not going to be something like super strong. It feels like something that would be close to the skin.

Yeah wow, this is really nice. I’m getting a little bit of musk in here too. But it’s not like a chemical musk. It’s like a very soft subdued sweet musk.

For some reason I’m thinking of like a really sexy woman in lingerie. Like a teddy or something, I don’t know why I’m thinking that. I don’t know I guess like the whole vibe of this like the color scheme and the flowers.

And how beautiful and curvy the bottle is. I’m thinking of just a woman and like maybe a silk a flowy silk lingerie piece. And then her hair is like up in a bun or something. And she smells like this smells like something that.

I would want to like scent my underwear drawer with. It has this beautiful like soft musk soft florals with a soft sweetness. This is beautiful you guys. Really beautiful very subtle though.

And I would imagine someone would probably. Maybe like an intimate kind of scent. Yeah, this is beautiful wow. I like that you guys it’s an EAU De parfum. The notes are. On the top notes, there’s bergamot and truffle.

Middle notes are jasmine orange blossom two bros and strawberry. Base notes are cedar amber and vanilla. So there’s no musk in here. But I’m getting like a soft subtle sexy musk. Yeah, this is like this is a beautiful fragrance.

Maybe something like um that would be good for like bedtime. Because it has like this relaxing calming thing going on so. Yeah, I kind of like this you guys. Wow, very sexy subdued quiet just very pleasant scent.

And the bottle again super sexy bottle. So yeah I like this one okay guy. If you have tried this perfume Valentina by the house of Valentina. I’d love to hear what you consider just based on these first impressions.

#5 Casablanca

casablanca perfume

I have heard a lot about this on youtube from other reviewers and the notes really intrigued me. In here there’s apple. There are caramel grapes and leather and just the two notes. The first two notes the apple and caramel are pretty much what interested me the most.

And yeah it was a successful gift blind buy or for him it was a blind buy for a gift for me. And I absolutely love it. So I do want to spray these perfumes while I speak about it. It just feels weird for me when I talk about perfumes and I can’t sniff along.

I’m just used to that Casablanca to me smells like a very sweet sparkling apple juice. Especially in the beginning. It is absolutely gorgeous and you have to have a sweet tooth to wear this. Because it is literally one of the sweetest fragrances I own.

Later down in the dry down that sparkling apple juice kind of calms down. And I start getting other notes some florals. And definitely I get the caramel and it kind of starts reminding me of a caramel candy apple at the fair.

I also get the grapes here. It’s just such a great fun sweet fruity perfume. So that’s number five Swiss Arabian Casablanca.

#4 H M Pear

H M Pear perfume

In fourth place we have H M Pear. This is a very inexpensive perfume I got mine for like five euros. And you can see that it’s pretty much empty. I do have to get another little one of these. So I know it says pear.

It doesn’t say apple on it but honestly, basically, this perfume smells like the green apple jolly ranchers. The jolly rancher candy. Which I absolutely loved when I was a kid.

They don’t sell them here in the Netherlands. So I kind of miss that so maybe that’s why I like this so much. It doesn’t last long at all you guys. Maybe like half an hour or so.

But it’s such a great realistic crisp green apple jolly rancher scent. That is absolutely perfect. If they made an EDP of this or an x-straight version. I would be all over it and it would be probably my most favorite apple scent.

But because of performance that it does not last at all. It’s in fourth place but oh my gosh. If you get a chance to try this. And you’re looking for a simple cheap apple scent with some pear in the background. But it’s mostly a green crisp apple. Do check this out it is fantastic you guys.

#3 Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana

In number three spot we have Dolce & Gabbana. The only intense. This one is like one of my most favorite designer releases for women this year so far. So amazing so notes in this one there are white florals.

Such as neroli orange blossom and jasmine. There’s also coconut in here. And of course, there’s apple crisp green apple. I get that more so in the dry down of this perfume.

And it just adds a really nice refreshing freshness to the beautiful coconutty white florals in here it is. So good I mean I wouldn’t wear this in the high heat. That we’re having right now.

But come fall come winter I am definitely going to be wearing this. And the green apple note in here is just amazing.
It adds a very nice sweetness to the florals. And yeah it is fantastic. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I still really enjoy it a lot.

#2 UN JARDIN SUR LE TOIT

UN JARDIN SUR LE TOIT

Okay so in number two spot we have a fragrance from the house of Hermes. And this one is called UN JARDIN SUR LE TOIT part of the Jardin collection. Which is a collection that I think is probably one of the best ever in all of perfumery. I mean when it comes to summer scents especially.

This collection is just like you can’t go wrong with it. So some notes in injured answer. Let’s there’s apple there’s pear and grass. And those three notes pretty much sum this one up. So well you do get that green grassy kind of scent.

But then it is lightened up and brightened up with a lot of crisp green apple almost like a crisp green apple juice.
And yeah it’s very watery and cooling. And I just love this so much, you guys. It is so fantastic.

The apple in here is quite realistic. It’s like an appley grass kind of scent. This fragrance makes me happy when I wear it. I enjoy wearing this mostly in the spring and summer. Because of how crisp and tart that apple note is in here.

But yeah that’s my number two favorite apple scent in my collection. Hermes injured and sir latoia.

#1 AMBRE NARGUILE

AMBRE NARGUILE

Top 5 Apple Perfume 2020

Okay, now we are at number one. This is also from the house of Hermes and it’s called AMBRE NARGUILE. I just have my small travel size thing here. One day I’ll be upgrading this to a bottle as soon as I get through this.

And the many samples that I am hoarding. Okay so elm AMBRE NARGUILE this has notes of apple cinnamon honey caramel tonka vanilla tobacco. There’s a lot of things going on here.

I just want to spray this but basically this perfume. Oh my gosh, it’s so good. Okay, basically this perfume can be summed up in a few words apple pie with spice or spicy apple pie.

That’s basically what this is a very real very deep gourmand and yummy. And it makes me want to eat some apple pie. It reminds me of a fresh apple pie just from the oven. And they put some like extra cinnamon on top.

An extra nutmeg and maybe some caramel drizzled over. It is just the best apple perfume out there. I know it’s called AMBRE NARGUILE maybe they should have called it apple nargilay.

I don’t even know what na nargui or nagulei means. But yeah this is the best apple perfume I have ever tried. And yeah I would totally recommend you to try this perfume. If you are a huge gourmand lover. It is delicious.

So yeah those were my top five favorite apple scents. I would love to hear what you guys think about these perfumes and also if you have any other apple perfumes you’d like to recommend. Please do that in the comments I’d love to hear it. Other than that thank you guys so much for tuning in the article.

GIORGIO ARMANI MY WAY

This is a new fragrance that was just released. Where I live probably also where you live. It’s gorgeous it’s even more gorgeous in person. When I held it in my hand. You know you can’t not think of the prive collection with the stone on top.

It is a gorgeous bottle design. So I really like that also the pink color. It is just very I don’t know aesthetically pleasing I guess. The notes in this one listed here: bergamot and orange blossom on the top. Two bros and jasmine in the mid. And cedarwood white musk and vanilla.

So when I first sprayed this on my skin. I was like oh no it smelled very familiar. Right off the bat, I got a musk a familiar designer women’s perfume musk. But then it’s super hot where I live right now and I spend a lot of time in front of the fan because that cools me off.

And so when I sprayed this when I wore this. The fan was circulating the air. And then my friend was like hey what are you wearing that smells really nice. And I’m like seriously. He’s like yeah I guess the perfume was like being circulated around the room. Because of the fan that was pointed straight at me.

And he’s like yeah that’s really nice perfume. And then I managed to smell the scent in the air. and I actually really enjoyed it up on my skin. It was like no. It wasn’t a bad scent but in the air, I guess you can think of it as ciaz. In the air, it smelled really nice.

The florals in here as listed in the notes orange blossom two bros and jasmine. Yes, I do get a floral kind of scent right away in the opening. To me though it reminded me of cherry blossom.

I got orange blossom and cherry blossom the most. Mixed in with a soft musk right in the opening. In the mid of this fragrance. What I had what I noticed and also in the dry down. The musky notes got stronger on my skin.

And up again up close on my skin when I put my nose right up to my you know wrist where I wore it. I did not enjoy it but kind of like when I wasted my arms in the air. I did enjoy it.

So yeah the vanilla in there may be mixed in with the other florals kind of makes it smells like a cherry blossom scent. Because it really really did smell like cherry blossom on me. Which was kind of surprising.

Also in the dry down what happened was this fragrance got a little bit sweeter with the vanilla in there mixing in with florals. And also a little bit of powderiness came out too. And yeah it’s a pleasant scent.

It is it new and different no is it groundbreaking no. Is it likable. Yeah, I do think that people will like this. Because it has that familiar pleasing scent that a lot of people are used to. And the musk in here I do detect.

But it’s not that bad. It’s like a warm cozy airy light musk. That does get stronger as it dries down but not so strong that it overtakes the whole fragrance.

The thing is here that I get most is the florals orange blossom. But to my nose mixed in with that sweetness of the vanilla. It smells like cherry blossoms.

So yeah I do like this fragrance. I don’t hate this fragrance. I don’t love this fragrance. I’m just kind of like in the middle. Middle ground middle of the road just like with a lot of women’s designer perfumes. Nowadays they are pretty much that.

Very wearable my husband seems to like it. That’s fine. I don’t mind it. But yeah it’s okay. It’s worth a try sure why not right. But if you’re looking for something new and amazing and different. I don’t think you’ll get it here.

Of course, that’s just my personal opinion. You might absolutely fall in love with this. That’s fine but for me yeah not bad. But just that it’s not something I’m gonna buy myself. But it’s a pleasant scent people-pleasing mass appealing kind of thing. That a lot of us are already used to.

So those were my quick thoughts on MY WAY by GIORGIO ARMANI. It reminded me of the Frank Sinatra song my way. But then later when I did wear this it was sorry to remember. It started reminding me of the usher song my way.

So let me know in the comments if you’ve gotten this far. If you prefer my way by Frank Sinatra or my way song by an usher. For me, I choose frank Sinatra easily. He is a legend rest in peace.

And yeah great music that he has made and sang. Okay so that’s my quick review or not really review first impressions. I would love to hear what you guys think of this in the comments.

Chanel Gabrielle Review in (August 2020)

by Leave a Comment

Chanel Gabrielle

Are you confused to buy Chanel Gabrielle? You are at the right place to take the decision of Chanel Gabrielle Review. Today we’ll be discussing Gabrielle by the house of Chanel. I gotta say you guys I’ve been on quite a journey with this perfume here. When I first tried it when it was first released. I was very unimpressed by it. I just thought it was boring. There was nothing special about it. It was just something that I just wasn’t very interested in.

At the same time though I have gone through like three or four samples of it. At the time and I’m not really sure why I did that usually when I find something to be. You know not my taste.

I would just move on. But with this one in particular. I just kept on sampling it and sampling it over and over again. I still came up with the conclusion that it wasn’t for me. And that’s fine but then I always wondered to myself.

Why am I going back to it all the time? Why am I wanting to test it? Why am I wanting to smell this? Okay so fast forward a few years later and my opinion about Gabrielle Chanel has completely changed.

I just thought that was an interesting thing that doesn’t happen very often. Where you absolutely do not like fur perfume at first. And then afterward you actually really enjoy it. Well, it does happen but not too often.

At least for me but yeah let’s get into.

What this smells Gabrielle Chanel?

In the opening to me, I get a clean slightly,y sour, musky scent. I do get a hint of aldehydes in here although. There aren’t any aldehydes listed in the notes. But apart from all of that what I get most in the opening is a fizzy and sharp and sparkling citrus scent.

To my nose, it’s mostly a very bright grapefruit. Which I really enjoy. The opening is very nice to me. Actually, in the opening, I’m reminded of coco mademoiselle. But if you can picture coco mademoiselle without the patchouli. And then amp up the citrusy notes. That’s what I kind of get in here.

So it kind of reminds me of like a more grown-up version of coco mademoiselle. So as this fragrance dries in the mid. What I get is this perfume smells a lot sweeter on my skin.

Some fruitiness comes out that gives sweetness. But also the florals in here also emerge. The florals in here are jasmine, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, and tuberose. The flower scent and the fruity sweetness are all tamed down by a musk. A very clean and soft and airy musk. The dry down of this perfume what I get that soft musk.

But also some faint sweetness still coming from the fruit. And also a creaminess that’s also faint coming from woodiness sandalwood. And of course, I still smell the beautiful florals in here.

But the most prominent floral to me is the orange blossom. So yeah that’s basically what I get from Gabrielle Chanel. Is this an exciting perfume. I would say no it’s not. Actually many people say that it’s quite boring and when I first tried this perfume I agreed. That it was wasn’t very exciting.

But I do think that it’s a very easy perfume. To wear like a grab-and-go perfume to wear every day at the office. For example, it’s pleasant, it’s fresh, it’s fruity. But not too fruity. It’s floral but also not too floral not too sweet.

It’s just everything is tamed down by the musk. And back then I wasn’t like a huge musky perfume fan. But nowadays I’m starting to warm up to musky perfumes. And I think that’s why I’m liking this more and more.

It does give off a nice classy and elegant vibe. It’s inoffensive it’s very wearable and just the freshness in Gabrielle Chanel just for me makes it an easy perfume. To pull off every day. Yes, it would make a fantastic signature scent.

It’s light, it’s bubbly, it’s happy, it’s fresh. It’s like all the things that I would like in a signature sense. Something easy to wear and something just pleasant for you and probably hope for the people around you.

Downsides for Gabrielle Chanel well

I think the performance might be an issue for some people. For me, I get about half an hour of projection with this one. And then close to the skin for about five to six hours that might not be enough for some people.

That it’s too soft. But for me like say in the workplace I wouldn’t mind just having something for myself. You know it’s something inoffensive something that won’t bother people too much. It would last for most of your workday.

And um I’m not really that kind of person that wants to be in a place. Where I’m just constantly like projecting of perfume all day every day. And maybe annoying some people. Upsides of this perfume.

Well, there’s no patchouli in here. I don’t get any patchouli. So that’s good. Not that there’s anything wrong with patchouli. But patchouli is the reason. Well, one of the reasons why I don’t really enjoy the coco metamizole and Cora Mendel.

Also, there’s no oakmoss in here which again there’s nothing wrong with oakmoss. But wearing oakmoss every single day might for me I don’t know if I could do that. So those were my thoughts on Gabrielle Chanel. I would love to hear what you guys think about this perfume.

Best Chanel No. 19 perfume (August 2020) Review

by Leave a Comment

chanel perfume

This is probably the most perfect powdery scent in my collection. Actually it’s probably the most perfect one that I’ve ever tried. It’s one of my absolute favorites Chanel number 19 Poudre. This is an Eau de Parfum version. It is a flanker of the irregular Chanel number 19. Which I absolutely love I own that one. Best Chanel No. 19 perfume

This is one of my favorite powdery scents. It’s also one of my favorite green scents. There’s no sweetness on my skin on with this perfume at all. So it’s one of my go-to’s when I don’t have a sweet tooth. I would say probably nine times out of ten. I wear perfumes that have some kind of sweetness in it. Because gourmands are my favorite.

Sugary perfumes I absolutely love it. But there are times where I’m just not feeling it. And I want to wear something that’s not sweet. And this is what I grabbed for. I do have a decant of this that I’m going through currently. That’s why this is so full but I do wear this.

Mostly in like the springtime, summertime. You can wear it all year yet I think for me I prefer it in warmer weather. So this fragrance was released in 2011. The version that I have the batch code for anyone who’s interested if it’s going to show is 9002 which means that this perfume here was manufactured in 2015.

The notes of this one in the top. There’s neroli galbanum and orange middle notes are iris and jasmine. Base notes are vetiver musk and tonka. So yes there is that tonka bean in there. But on my skin, it’s not sweet at all. On my skin what I get in the opening.

Is this most gorgeous green powder and I know that sounds weird. Green powder like if you can imagine the scent of grass. And if you could somehow transform that into a powder form. Making it into a face powder. That’s what I get from here.

So apart from this green face powder what I get is also this gorgeous vetiver note. The vetiver is very soft in here. It gives a little bit of smokiness. It’s very mild and just mixing that green bitter powder. With this soft sensual smoky vetiver.

It is amazing. It’s marketed towards women. But I don’t find anything particularly feminine about this. I think that men can absolutely wear this as well. I feel the same way about the regular Chanel number 19.

And that’s pretty much what I get in the opening and the mid. Gorgeous green vetiver powder. And of course the number one note. That I didn’t mention yet is iris.

Best Chanel No. 19 perfume

A lot of people have said that this smells similar to Prada infusion to iris. I would agree. It’s not exactly the same but I definitely get the similarities. I did own a big bottle of the infusion iris.

But I let that one go because I just pretty I never really wore it that much. Between the two I would always choose the this one the 19 because I just enjoyed it more.

In the dry down of this perfume is where this gorgeous soft musk comes into play. The musk mixes in with that green powderiness. And the smoky vetiver and of course the powdery iris. And it just makes me feel like I have this green irisy musky blanket on me.

I almost picture myself lying down in a big flower garden. And I’m wearing a summer dress. And I have this blanket of green powder. Just sprinkle on top of me. That’s what I get with this one. It’s a very elegant perfume.

And I think there are aldehydes in here. There aren’t any aldehydes listed in the notes. But I do get touch of it in the background. I’m not sure if I’m right if it’s in there or not but. If you guys get any aldehydes.

I need this one I’d love to hear it. But yeah this is just a very smooth and delicate green perfume iris powder vetiver galbanum. And yeah it makes me feel very elegant and something that I would wear.

Probably for like an outdoor garden party or something like that. Or if I’m just walking through the park or a flower park or something like that. In the Netherlands, we have this humongous flower garden you guys probably heard of it the Keukenhof.

Where they have the biggest garden I believe in Europe. It’s always packed whenever I’ve gone there. But that’s like the perfect scent for that kind of setting. Just a very picturesque place with a lot of greenery and flowers blooming.

Best Chanel No. 19 perfume

Performance on this one for me it’s kind of all over the place. When you spray it on your skin. You’ll smell it quite strongly for a few hours. But then sometimes my nose gets blind to it.

And I don’t smell myself at all. Only to find myself smelling it like six seven or eight hours later. And it’s strong again.

So this one is yeah it’s inconsistent I would say. Or maybe it’s just my nose that gets used to it and then it comes and goes. But yeah that’s the exact kind of thing that I get with this. It’s a fragrance that comes and goes.

Best Chanel No. 19 perfume

I notice it and sometimes I don’t notice it. I can smell it on my clothing and stuff. So yeah it’s kind of like a peekaboo scent. I don’t mind I don’t always have to have my nose occupied with perfume.

I do like those little hints of a green powder musky iris throughout the day. And that’s just as enjoyable for me. So that was my review on Chanel number 19 Poudre or perfume. The perfect powdery scent at least for me. One of my absolute favorites.

I would love to hear what you guys think about this perfume in the comments. Do you prefer this version or just the regular EDP number 19. There’s also an EDT version. I’d love to hear it which is your favorite?

Rasasi Perfume RAA and WAAW

So it opens up with a very fresh watery kind of aquatic notes. Like the smell of freshwater if you can imagine it that way. So that’s the kind of opening but it also has a beautiful fresh fennel opening. The fennel seeds. I’m not sure if you have to smell it the fresh green phenols. So that’s what you get along with these aquatic fresh notes. But immediately when you spray. You might get a slight synthetic soapy feel which fades away in 10 to 15 minutes. So that’s kind of ignore able. It’s not too synthetic but it has that slight soapy synthetic when you immediately spray it. But when that fennel note starts off it actually gives a very good vibe.

So a decent opening with the fresh aquatic and fresh fennel notes. So slightly different from the usual citrus opening. And then in the mid, you would get a little bit of jasmine and neroli. So to give that slight white floral touch. It’s not too floral because of jasmine it is very undertone. And the best part is the bass note and the bass note actually starts off after three to four hours. And it has very beautiful pine wood and cedarwood.

A very beautiful moody note and that’s the actual beauty of this fragrance. Because I did not find the opening very impressive. It is fine, not bad but not very impressive in the opening. But the bass is actually very beautiful because of that pine wood and cedarwood kind of very notes you know.

Talking about performance, it easily projects about two to three hours. If you are indoors and lasted about eight to nine hours on my skin. But after five to six as it’s more of the woody. That plays the role along with that fresh aquatic fennel note. But that kind of fades away after five to six hours. And it’s actually the woody note that plays the role after five to six hours.

So in case, you’re interested in trying. Do try the sample I do not really suggest by the full bottle. Just try to sample. The samples are given only for a limited period until the first bottle is sunny. Samples are not arranged always. So in case, you ask me which is better among Rasasi RAA and recessive Chekhov. I would definitely go with Chekhov. Because Chekhov is about to find it butts lesser than this. And I personally prefer Chekhov over this one. In case you want to blind pie. I would still go with Chekhov dandruff. So go for the decants and if you do not want to blind buy it.

#2 Rasasi Sotoor Perfume WAAW

Rasasi Perfume RAA and WAAW

Now coming to WAAW from the Sotoor. This is how the bottle comes. It says wob in Arabic and it says waaw in English. How to pronounce it so it is WAAW from the Sotoor and this is how the package comes. This is a plain simple white box. Now to be honest this is my favorite among the Sotoor. So that is recessive WAAW. But I don’t really suggest this during high summer. So you might have to wait until the summer’s go down. Or if you happen to stay in a cooler place. Or if you want to use it in an air-conditioned setup. You are still good to go with this one.

Because it opens up with beautiful cinnamon cardamom and slight peppery note. So that’s the reason I said I don’t really suggest this for high summers. Because cinnamon cardamom a little bit of that peppery note. It actually goes well when the weather is cooler. So don’t try this in the high summers. Because it would smell better in the winters or if you happen to be in an air-conditioned setup.

Rasasi Perfume RAA and WAAW

So that’s the opening like I mentioned in the mid you would get a little bit of amber and lavender note. So I’m not really fond of the amber note in this. Because it is a little more prominent. The amber is evident within 10 minutes of spraying this. And I don’t really enjoy that am but not much. Because I’m personally not a fan of prominent amber notes. But otherwise, people who love amber would definitely like this one.

Because the quality of amber is definitely good. There I’m not making a judgment based on the quality of amber. It’s just that I personally don’t like amber note when it is prominent. But the amber note settles down in 3 years and after that is when I enjoy wearing this one. Because the Amano settles down and then the base starts which is more of sandalwood. And the cinnamon continues to be in the base.

So most prominent note in this one is the cinnamon and that’s the beauty of this fragrance. Because that cinnamon is definitely done very nice. Very good quality and easily noticeable. Because when I wrote this to the office I got about three compliments and one rated it an 8 on 10. And the other woman who rated it in the fourth hour she did not compliment me directly. Because I was waiting at the cafeteria point which is a closed place obviously. And I was sitting there for maybe 10 minutes and then I went away from there. And she happened to pass by after some time after. I left the place and it sounded like the ciaz were still around that place which was in the fourth hour.

 

So remember that and she just texted me to ask if I was sitting there some time ago. And I was a little surprised when she said that she could still smell the fragrance there. So that’s the kind of ciaz valve has I went with eight sprays as usual. And in the fourth hour is what I got this particular comment. So then it seems to be great in this one. So that is Sotoor WAAW. My favorite among all the Sotoor line which I have covered.

So if you’re looking for good performance with good projection and Ciaz and lasting. I think WAAW is best among the line. RAA is also good but it is more of the orange blossom narrowly kind of fragrance. You can wear them during the summers as well. But I would suggest that it’s better to wear it during the cooler with us. So coming to the performance, it easily predicts about 3 to 4 hours and the lasting was about 12 to 13 hours on my skin.

So beautiful performance. So in case, you do not want to blind by go for the 10 ml sample again the sample is not provided throughout the year. If interested if you do not want to blind by. Don’t blind by RAA one because I don’t really recommend that. Because of the price of 3k plus. You can actually go for Sotoor off in my opinion.

But WAAW is the best among the Sotoor line in my opinion. So that was it from the Sotoor line. So seen is the only one pending I’m not sure if I would get that. Because I’ve heard from multiple reviews that it is more of sweet and floral kind of notes. More suitable for a woman. So I don’t think I would enjoy wearing that. I’m not even planning for the decants at this point in time. So let’s see it anyway. So that’s about it.

Today I’m going to talk about another set of cheap and sexy perfumes which are under thousand three hundred rupees. So today I’ve got about five different perfumes which are under the cheap and sexy category.Cheap & Sexy Perfumes under $20.

#5 Ajmal- Carbon

Ajmal- Carbon

So coming in at number five is Ajmal- Carbon. Now, this is a fresh and spicy perfume. It has that nice little citrus opening with some pepper and cloves. So that’s the main note that I get in this one.

So if you like nice fresh citrus and with a little spiciness of pepper and cloves. Then this is definitely a good choice. But if you’re expecting a great projection and lasting I don’t think this is something meant for you.

Because it has a very soft projection. It projects above one hour and it gives a lasting of six to eight hours as a skin scent. So you would not really sense the smell after four to five hours. Because it’s more of a skin scent. And even when it comes to projection you cannot really expect this to project more than one hour.

Because that’s what I get on my skin. Now if it suits your skin a little better than what it suits my skin. Then probably might project better on your skin. But it smells really good.

Nothing unique about this. It is a Zen drink but it suits for any occasion for that matter and any season. So that’s the best part of this. It is a very safe scent. You can easily wear it for any occasion and all around the year.

#4 Rasasi – Royal Blue

So coming in at number four is Rasasi – Royal Blue. Now, this is a fresh aquatic scent with some musky and slight woody base. So a beautiful fresh aquatic scents for the summers. In case you like that safe aquatic type of since.

Then this is definitely a good buy because of the price of a thousand. You cannot really expect something better than this. Because it has done really nice. And it easily gets noticed easily liked by people as well.

So coming to the performance it projects about 2 hours and it gives the lasting of 6 to 8 hours again depending on the weather and your skin chemistry.

#3 AAZ – Oud 24 Hours

AAZ – Oud 24 Hours

Now coming in at number three AAZ – Oud 24 Hours. Now, this is a clone of Tom Ford’s Black Orchid. Now from my personalities I actually prefer this one over Tom Ford’s Black Orchid.

Because that is not one of my favorite scents. But this has that beautiful vanilla base along with that black orchid field. So that is what I really enjoy in this one.

So though the names are Out 24 hours you would hardly get much of Oden it. It is more of that Tom Ford black orchid vibe with a nice amped-up vanilla base.

So that’s what this one smells like. And even when it comes to performance it easily projects about 2 to 3 hours and gives me a lasting of 10 to 12 hours as a skin scent. But I’ve heard people saying that they get about 15 as a plus. Maybe it suits their skin better than mine.

But I get about 10 to 12 hours. So gorgeous performance and a great rejection as well. So in case, you’re looking for a good performing Black Orchid clone with a nice vanilla base. This is definitely that you should try.

#2 AAZ- Midnight Oud

Cheap & Sexy Perfumes under $20

So coming in at number 2 is AAZ- Midnight Oud. Now, this is a clone of M watch interlude. I haven’t smelled that, to be honest. But the majority agree that this is one of the best clones of M watch interlude.

Now to me, this one has very nice cardamom and incense note. So a beautiful incense is a fragrance with a nice cardamom opening. So I really enjoy the opening in this one. Because of that nice cardamom note and then in the dry down you would get more of that burning incense wipe.

Now though the name says Midnight Oud. You would hardly sense any Oud because it’s more of that incense note. So in case, you like incense based fragrance with a nice little cardamom on top.

This is definitely a must right. Because even when it comes to performance it has a great performance. It projects about three to four hours if you’re in a doze. And it gives me a lasting of 12 hours.

So on clothes, it can even go above that but on the skin I could easily sense it for 12 hours. Now do not wear this during the summers because it is mainly a winter scent. And strictly a winter scent. And I would rather suggest that instead of indoor you rather wear it outdoors.

Because an incense note is a little too loud in the first two to three hours. So not many would like that if you wear it Indo. So I suggest that you wear it outdoors during the wintertime. Because when it lingers in the air it smells really gorgeous. If you like instance-based fragrance.

#1 Jenny Glow – Freesia & Pear

Cheap & Sexy Perfumes under $20

Now coming in at number one is from the house of Jenny glow. This is freesia & Pear. Now just like the name it has a very nice freesia note and some tangy pair. The pair is not very prominent in this one.

But it has a beautiful freesia not now. Freesia is something which you usually find in body lotions. So it has that nice little luxurious body lotion wipe. Which you get in three-star five-star hotels or resorts that you stay.

So beautiful scent if you like that nice resort types of body lotion type of smell. Then this is definitely that you should try.

When it comes to performance, it is very soft and airy. But it does stay for a good six to eight hours. Though when I wear it on myself. I don’t really sense the smell after three to four eyes because like I said it is very soft and airy.

But others would definitely sense it around you. If they have a very sensitive nose. Who can smell even the slightest of fragrance. They will definitely sense it on you.

Even after four to five hours because what happened was when I wore it to the office I sprayed about eight sprays. And then I thought it all vanished in three hours. I reapplied about four to five sprays again.

And after I reapplied after five hours of reapplying. One of my colleagues asked me when he was walking by me. He said he really likes the fragrance that I was wearing. He really enjoyed it smelling on myself.

So like I said it still projects but the one wearing it may not be able to sense it. Due to olfactory fatigue because it is a very nice soft and airy kind of fragrance. But definitely smells luxurious and it costs very less. It costs about 600.

Though it is a 30ml but the smell quality is definitely nice. So in case, you like that nice body lotion kind of fragrance. This is definitely a must right. Jenny Glow – Freesia & Pear.

It costs only 600 and that’s why I am putting it at number one. Because it smells of nice quality for that price. Though the projection is not heavy. It is still decent and it gives me a lasting of six to eight hours as a skin scent.

So that was about it let me know in case you have tried any of these coming down in the comment section.

Best Designer perfume Vials for Rs.300

by Leave a Comment

Today I’m going to talk about three of the design of fragrance. And two are from the House of Dior. I just have wires of the same. So that is your home intense. I have dear Savage Oh de Parfum. I did not get a full bottle because obviously your savages EDT is something which I already have that’s a reason I did not want to buy an order Parfum.Best Designer perfume Vials for Rs.300

And obviously they are very expensive. So I don’t really prefer buying all the expensive ones at this moment. Unless I really like them. So Wiles are these 1 to 2 ml miniatures sprays.

They look very cute but obviously. Wiles do not come in all the variants of designers you may or may not find it. So one costs about three hundred and if you buy more than one it is 250 each. And the quantity is about 1 to 1.5 ml usually. So I usually buy vials so that I can use it when I travel on an airplane.

Because whenever you travel in an airplane for a longer distance. You’re not generally allowed to carry any liquid bottles. So that’s where this one comes handy because you can just keep it in your pocket. And I don’t think they would stop you from using this. Because obviously the airport staff or the immigration anybody.

For that matter would definitely know this is a perfume. Pocket perfumes. And it is easy to wear you can. Just wear it just before you both the flight so that you smell good. When you sit next to people and you do not offend them with your bad order. If you are waiting for too long. So that is where I use these vials. But you can obviously use it in any moment that you want.

I would start with number three and then move to number one.

#1 Dior Homme Intense

DIOR HOMME INTENSE

So coming in at number three is your Dior Homme Intense. So like I said I’m not a huge fan of Dior Homme Intense. But I understand there are many fan fellows of Dior Homme Intense. So this is more of a lavender iris amber and cedarwood kind of smell.

It is definitely good but not great in my opinion. But there are many fan fellows of this one so in case you like lavender iris amber and Seetha would kind of smell. You can definitely go for this.

#2 Dior Sauvage

One so the next one is Dior Sauvage Perform. So if you ask me the difference between order toilet and order perfume. For me, the opening of this one is definitely a little more intense than Eau de Toilette. But the Eau de Toilette has a more synthetic feel and more peppery feel. I did not find that in this one.

This does not have that synthetic feel which the Eau de Toilette has. After one hour though the opening is a little intense. After one this is more smooth richer and more pleasing to the nose. When you smell it from close. But for some reason, I felt the Eau de Toilette lasts longer than this one.

So this is still not bad it easily came up about 9 to 10 hours. But I feel that Eau toilets the one which I have last even more than that. I could even sense it after 13 hours. When I was taking a bath. Maybe I am wrong because I just tested this once. But in that first test that I did, this lasted about nine hours.

And Eau de Toilette when I used that lasts about 12 to 13 hours. But I think  9 hours is still good enough. And smell wise like I said this means richer than the Eau de Toilette version. And less synthetic than the Eau de Toilette version.

#1 1 Million Lucky (Best Designer perfume)

Image Source – Google Image by www.amazon.co.uk

Now coming in at number 1 is 1 million lucky. Now 1 million lucky is a 1.5 ml vial. So the other two ways just 1 ml. So among the 1 million flankers I somehow like 1 million lucky. I understand some of them still prefer the old version of the original 1 million.

Some of them like 1 million pre way but I like 1 million lucky. There is also 1 million colone which I don’t think it right yet. But among the three I like 1 million lucky the most. So this is more on the sweeter side compared to the original 1 million. This is even sweeter but the sweetness of this one gives me that feel of mango juice. Chilled mango juice.

So for some reason, this smells very soothing to me. So the notes on this one our citrus, hazelnut, plum, and honey. So if you like citrus blended with hazelnut plum and honey. This is definitely that you should try. It is very sweet and at the first instance.

When you get that blend of all this hazelnut plum and honey. You might get that feeling of chilled or frozen mango juice. So that is very soothing very tempting. It smells very edible to me. And that’s a reason I like this one among all the other flankers of 1 million. So that is 1 million lucky.

So in case, you have already tried this or any of these coming down in the comment section as to what you feel about these fragrances.
