Juicy Couture "Viva la Juicy Sucré" - Fragrance week!

Hey guys!
Last day of my Fragrance week posts today, and today is a fragrance I don't own yet, but hopefully I'll get it very soon. I do have a little sample of it though, and I absolutely love it. It's the new fragrance from Juicy Couture, Viva la Juicy Sucré.

(Picture borrowed from fragrantica.com)
The top notes are gardenia, mandarin oranges and red currant.
Middlenotes are orange blossom, jasmine, peach and almond cream.
Basenotes are whipped cream, vanilla, sandalwood and cacao.

I can smell the peach, vanilla and creamy notes on myself when I wear it. But I try to use the sample I have sparingly before I buy a bottle of the perfume so I have not worn this a lot, yet.

Have you tried it? Or do you perfer one of the other scents from Juicy Couture?

YSL "Black Opium Floral Shock" - Fragrance week!

Hey guys!

Today's fragrance is Yves Saint Laurent "Black Opium Floral Shock". This is one of my most recent purchases and it has quickly become a favourite. This one is good for both day and night, I think.

This is what fragrantica.com says about the scent.
The freshness of lemon, bergamot and pear in the top notes mixed with freesia is the first floral accord to the composition. The heart includes white flowers of golden gardenia, orange blossom and a solar floral accord. The base ends with iced coffee, white musk, mineral accord and woody amber.

To me this is not at all a floral fragrance, I can only smell creamy sweet notes when I wear it, sometimes with a hint of orange in the beginning. But the scent is absolutely gorgeous and I love it so so much. Someone said this is a limited edition fragrance, but I hope it's not. It deserves to be permanent and available forever!

Have you tried it? Do you like it or do you prefer one of the other scents in the Black Opium family?

Marie Serneholt "Signature 2" - Fragrance week!

Hey guys!

Today we continue Fragrance week with Marie Serneholt "Signature 2". You may remember her as one of the four of A-teens in the 90's. She's also a TV hostess these days, and also have her own fragrance line including two fragrances, bodycare and candles.

I'm not sure this fragrance is available world wide as I couldn't find anything about it on fragrantica.com. But it's sold in Sweden and according to kicks.se "Signature 2" is created with fresh floral notes with warm elements of fresh citrus and warm undernotes from cedar and vanilla.
Topnotes: lemon, orange, bergamot, blackcurrant, mint, basil and ylang-ylang.
Middlenotes: lily of the valley, freesia and jasmine.
Basenotes: cedarwood, sandalwood, raspberry and vanilla.

This is a very floral scent, and I never thought I really liked overly floral fragrances but this one is absolutely heavenly. It's the perfect summer scent, warm and cosy.
I find it stays on pretty well on me, but it's not a very strong scent.

Have you tried it? Or have you tried the "Signature 1"?

Clean "Clean Skin" - Fragrance week!

Hey guys!

We continue Fragrance week today with Clean "Clean Skin".
"Skin" is actually the only Clean fragrance I can wear, all the other ones I've tried has given me a headache. I wonder why "Skin" works but not any of the others, is there any ingredient in the others that's not in "Skin"? 'Cause it can't just be the scents, as they vary a lot.

According to fragrantiva.com Clean Skin is a floral woody musk fragrance. They have no notes listed but the Swedish site kicks.se have.
Topnotes: honeydew, lotus flower, fresh airy accords.
Middle notes: dandelion flower petals, marine notes, blue rose.
Base notes: white musk, amber wood, creamy vanilla.

And again, I can't really smell a lot of these notes. It's absolutely fresh and airy, and the marine notes I totally get and maybe some light floral scent. But I smell no vanilla, woody scents or musk.
However, I absolutely love this scent and it stays on all day on me. I would highly recommend it!

Have you tried Skin? Or do you prefer another scent from Clean? If so, which one?

Burberry "BurberryBrit" - Fragrance week!

Hey guys!

Today I'm back with my third fragrance of the week, and this time it's the Burberry Brit EdT we're talking about.

According to fragrantica.com Burberry Brit EdT is a light interpretation of the timeless Burberry brit fragrance from 2003. (I haven't tried that one)
It opens with fresh notes of green almond, icy pear, lemon grass and italian lime.
The heart is composed of sugared almonds and lush peony, laid on the base of mahogany, amber and vanilla.

I'm not sure I can smell the citrus notes at all, To me this smells fresh, sweet and vanillary. It stays on all day on me even though it's a Eau de toilette, so that's good. And the bottle is cute and classy at the same time,

Have you tried this, or the original?

Boss "Scent For Her" - Fragrance week!

Hey guys!

I thought I'd try to be a bit more active here and to start that of I was thinking to do a "Fragrance week" where I post about one perfume every day for a week. These are the scents I think I'm going to wear the most this summer. Starting today with Boss "The scent for her".

According to fragrantica.com Scent for her is a floral-fruity scent, it opens with juicy and velvety shades of peach combined with freesia blossom in the top notes. The heart is based on osmanthus, while drydown features roasted cocoa, which deepens the composition and provides a darker note and a characteristic gourmand twist.

I'm usually not very good at describing scents according to their notes, but I have to agree on this. It is a fruity-floral scent and it is very peachy. I say this is the perfect summer scent. It's light but not too light, it stays on all day on me. And as someone who's very sensitive to certain fragrances, a lot of them gives me headaches, this one does not irritate me at all. I would highly recommend it!

Have you tried it? Do you like it or not? Any scents like this you would recommend?

Stay tuned, the second scent will be up tomorrow!
