All Time Perfume Lust: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb
Tuesday, 10 July 2012, Tuesday, July 10, 2012 | 0 comments, Leave a comment? ^^,

If someone was to ask me what my signature scent was it would hands down be Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb, kid you not this is the most incredible, beautiful perfume ever! I wish I had this by the bucketload, I had it for about two years and used it every day before I finally got down to the very last drops which is when I gave the bottle to my boyfriend for when he misses me. I haven't purchased it since because I'm using up my other perfume; Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy but I can't wait till I have it again! 


I first found out about Flowerbomb about three years ago when I got a miniature tester given to me at Myer, I used every drop until I sadly dropped the glass tester on the bathroom tiles :( Since then I sought out to own it and wear it forever. It embodies everything I love in a fragrance and its like pure fairy floss in a bottle; amazing. It has top notes of green tea and bergamot, middle notes of jasmine, african orange flower, freesia, rose and orchid, and base notes of musk and patchouli. It's not a sweet fragrance where it's like vanilla, but more of a rich sugar, so delicious you could almost eat it. 


The bottle is like a multi faceted diamond, with a slight pink tint and I believe the pump is actually silver, not pink as a lot of the advertisements make it look, and with the little black Viktor & Rolf tag up the top, it's classy, understated and feminine. My only qualm with Flowerbomb is the price; retailing between $99 for the 30ml EDP to $205 for the 100ml EDP; which will last you around two years.

If you're willing to splurge on the ultimate sweet floral fragrance that you will absolutely adore (I can assure you!) then definitely go for it, but Flowerbomb is not for the faint-hearted or light-headed!

Perfume Lust: Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Fragrance Mist
Monday, 11 June 2012, Monday, June 11, 2012 | 0 comments, Leave a comment? ^^,

It seems I have finally met my fragrance match. I'm always on the hunt for "so sweet it's almost sickly" sexy fragrance, and even in the form of a body mist I've finally got it; Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Red Plum and Freesia Fragrance Mist.

"Entice in Pure Seduction, a passionate romance of succulent red plum and sweet freesia."

My first ever Victoria's Secret experience (and I'm praying it won't be the last!) was literally 15 minutes before my flight to the UK this year, hidden in a tiny little nook of the international departures gate lounge at Melbourne Airport, which is very frustrating considering you can't shop there unless you have the palaver of going through security and actually needing bags and an international ticket and it's just a shame, just ugh, why can't they open one somewhere more accessible like Chadstone?! Alas, it was an amazing shopping experience, and the first portion taken out of my $1000 holiday allowance. Pure Seduction's main fragrant components are red plum and freesia, it's so sweet and sexy and I get compliments literally every time I spray it, I'd bathe in it if I could! Pure Seduction isn't the kind of sweet vanilla-y sugar fragrance I usually go for, but a super sweet sugary fruity scent, summery and seductive, supposedly it also contains melon!

It's soooooo difficult to choose from all the fragrances and just pick one, but Pure Seduction definitely caught my eye. I'll definitely be repurchasing over, and over, and over!

Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Red Plum and Freesia is available online at Victoria's Secret for $12

Note: Online the bottle looks a dark pink, but it's actually red!

Review: Marc Jacobs Daisy Solid Perfume Necklace
Saturday, 9 June 2012, Saturday, June 09, 2012 | 0 comments, Leave a comment? ^^,

Upon my mum's request she asked me to write a review about her Marc Jacobs Daisy Solid Perfume Necklace, her favourite scent. I'd describe her style as a mixture of sporty with a bit of classic, she likes light florals, fresh fruity scents and crisp fragrances, such as Dolce & Gabbana Light BlueEstee Lauder Beautiful and Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely. She had the rollerball as a gift for mother's day but it's very fragile, and she threw it into her bag and the glass smashed, whoops! Least her handbag smells of daisies.


The Marc Jacobs Daisy Solid Perfume Necklace retails for roughly $30 (according to Polyvore) but you may have trouble finding it, I'd suggest ordering online or on ebay. Firstly a bit about the Daisy scent; the perfume's top notes include wild strawberry, violet leaves and ruby red grapefruit, heart notes of violet, jasmine and gardenia, and base notes of vanilla infusion, soft musk and white woods. Plus, how cute is the packaging?

That's it though, the scent? Packaging; you cannot, and I repeat cannot smell the fragrance, take a good long sniff and all you'll get is metal, and a tiny hint of Daisy. It's such a shame considering it's such a sweet concept, even if you rub your finger all over the perfume you can't smell a thing, you may get the tiniest speck of fragrance, but not enough considering the standards Marc Jacobs sets as a company. Unfortunately completely unimpressive, definitely pass on this one and the other Marc Jacobs Daisy solid perfume items. Considering the formula would be the same for all solid products. I'd recommend a rollerball, or that you decant some of your original fragrance into those travel perfume bottles, I can't recall the name but they're great!

Perfume Lust: Miss Dior Eau Fraiche & Diesel Loverdose
Friday, 1 June 2012, Friday, June 01, 2012 | 0 comments, Leave a comment? ^^,


I finally ran out of my all time favourite perfume Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf (which lasted me two years!) and my Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture is about halfway through, so my next two choices are between Miss Dior Eau Fraiche or Diesel's Loverdose, I need you guys to help me choose! 
First I'll talk about the kinds of fragrances I like, I love love love sweet scents, so sweet its on the verge of sickly, cotton candy, vanilla, honey, but I also love spicy, oriental, fruity and tropical scents, such as ones with cinnamon, pineapple, red plum and freesia. I always get compliments on my fragrances, I think that being told you smell nice is one of the best compliments you can get!

I first spotted Loverdose in print ads, on tv and then I was in Myer and gave the tester a try and WOW. It's definitely MY kind of fragrance! The top notes are mandarin orange and star anise, the middle notes are jasmine, gardenia and liquorice (typically puts me off!) and the base notes are amber, vanilla (yay!) and other woodsy notes. The bottle is an angled heart that is cut like a diamond, with deep purple glass. The 50ml bottle RPP's for around $80. 


The next fragrance I'm trying to choose from is Miss Dior Eau Fraiche (Other fragrances in the line are the Miss Dior Cherie perfumes) was created as a tribute in 2012 to the original 1947 Miss Dior perfume. Dior describes it as elegant, feminine, sensual and bold, the top notes include sparkling citrus, green galbanum and bergamot, the middle notes are jasmine and gardenia, and Miss Dior houses patchouli as its base note. I first tested Miss Dior Eau Fraiche when I went to Paris on my holiday, at La Galleries LaFayette (how fancy!), and then again on a trip at Harrods, if you give a few pence or a pound or two you're free to use any of the available fragrances in the bathrooms, I may have sprayed it on myself about 4 times.. maybe!

Miss Dior Eau Fraiche in the 50ml variety retails for around $70

If anyone has tested either of these perfumes, knows anything about them, or wants to help me make a choice please do! Before my next perfume runs out! :)
