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?

Ralph Lauren "Big Pony 2" - Fragrance week!

Hey guys!

Todays fragrance is Ralph Lauren "Big Pony 2".

According to fragrantica.com the composition of this edition is floral-fruity-oriental and provides a blend of cranberry and tonka bean.

Well, I'm not sure I agree completely. To me this smells sweet and fruity. Not oriental at all. However, I haven't had this one for long and haven't used it enough to give a proper review yet. I think this will be perfect for summer though and hopefully I'll get to wear it lots of times.

Have you tried this one? Or have you tried any of the ohter three in the Big Pony family?

New fragrance tomorrow, stay tuned!

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!

Twenty Forever perfume by Make up store

Hey guys!

I finally managed to find the Twenty forever perfume by Make up store. They discontinued it last summer and I've been trying to find it since. And a few weeks back I found it at Tradera.com where you can sell things you don't want or need anymore. It's the baby sister of ebay.

I got it for a really good price and there was also a body lotion in the same scent included. I'm so happy I found it. The only problem is, when I've used this one up I'll probably have a really hard time finding another one. Oh well.. let's just enjoy this one for now! ;)

Have you tried any of these products? Thoughts?

Britney Spears Maui Fantasy

Hey all!

There's a new Britney Spears perfume on the market, Maui Fantasy. Apparently it was released in January 2016, but in Sweden where I live it was released in May I belive. And since I like most of Britney's fragrances I was really excited when I saw this was about to be released, and I had to have it.
To me this is a very summery fragrance. A tropical scent and I can sometimes smell a hint of raspberry - even though raspberry isn't in the notes.. Oh well.. ;) The bottle is as all the other Fantasy fragrance bottles super cute!

This is the notes according to fragrantica.com
"The fragrance opens with a mouthwatering combination of bird of paradise flower, pink grapefruit and passion fruit. The heart is a heady mix of beachy florals such as hibiscus petals, cyclamen, orange blossom and tiare flower (Hawaiian monoi). The base brings a warm and sensual aura with accords of coconut, vanilla, blue musk, white amber and beachy blonde woods."

I really really like it and as I said, perfect summer scent. And even though this is a Eau de Toilette, on me it stays on the whole day.

Also the box is super cute too. Not that it matters a lot, but still..

Have you tried this scent? What do you think of it?

Dior Addict perfume + gift with purchase

Hey all!

As you may or may not know I absolutely love perfumes and I'm always on the hunt for "the perfect scent". So I thought I'd share one of my favourites with you all today. It's the Dior Addict. I love it so much!! When I first tried it in store it was actually the Addict Eau Fraiche I was intrested in, but the sales woman sprayed the Addict instead and I was completely sold. I didn't buy it at that time, I always want to try a scent a few times before I buy just to be sure I really like it and think it suits me. But when I finally decided to get it I was lucky enough to get a really awesome gift with purchase - a make up bag filled with mini products. Yup. I did a 'lil happy dance when I got home and saw the goodies I got! ;)

What's your favourite perfume?

Make Up Store - Twenty Forever

Hey all! :)

I wanted to share a lovely body butter I found in the sale a few months back. It's from the Swedish brand Make Up Store and when I found it I had no idea they sold other products than makeup... I have clearly been missing out 'cause the scent "Twenty Forever" is one of the best scents ever. And isn't it ironic it's now been discontinued. :( (And yes the Alanis Morisette song "Ironic" is spinning in my head!)

Maybe I shouldn't share this as it's discontinued, but I thought maybe someone out there knows where to find the "Twenty Forever" Eau de parfum. I spoke to a lovely girl in one of the MUS stores and she said there will be new perfumes released, probably this year, but she had no idea what scents they'd bring out.

So I don't know, maybe "Twenty Forever" is gone forever? Anyone who knows? Don't be shy, tell me!! :)

Review Britney Spears Fantasy Intimate Edition

Hey, long time no see!
Since my last post I still have had major issues with my computer, that's the reason for no new posts on here. But hopefully the problem is solved now.
In my last post I promised mini reviews on some of the things I had purchased, so.. the first one out is the new Britney Spears fragrance, Fantasy Intimate Edition.

First of all, how cute is the bottle! It's the same shape as all of the other Fantasy fragrances, but this definitely the prettiest in my opinion. I mean white and rose gold!!
The scent is soo good too! When you first spray it it has a hint of the original Fantasy, but when it sets this is more creamy and vanillary (if that's even a word...?) and it's much more mature than the original scent. I think anyone can wear this, from teenager and up.
The topnotes are: litchi, violet leaf and Italian lemon. Middlenotes are: lily of the valley, jasmine, brown sugar, genet and ozone. And the basenotes are: vanilla, heliotrope, benzoin and white musk.
This fragrance is a Eau de parfum and on me it lasts all day. I have to say I think this is the best perfume she's ever done, it's THAT good!!! If you like Britney's fragrances you need this one!

Have you tried it? What are your thoughts on it?
