Versace 'Bright Crystal' Perfume Review

Image
Packaging: Tapered square glass bottle with a diamond cut glass cap. The writing is in silver with the perfume a pink liquid. Notes: Top- yuzu, pomegranate, water notes Middle- lotus, magnolia, peony Base- amber, mahogany, musk Smell: This is a sweet perfume. It has a sweet fruit hint but with a bit of musk. I find this to last all day on my skin, getting whiffs of it throughout the day. I think it's either a day or night perfume. I do think it works better all year round  and base notes and suits any age range of women. It's one of those perfumes that attaches to your clothes that you can smell the next day faded. When I smell this, I feel luminous, confident, sexy yet ready for anything. I love this scent and the way it also makes me feel. The scent is strong enough you don't need a whole lot of sprays on the body. This is the other favourite of mine and I think my signature seen, I absolutely love this and fall in love with it, every time I smell...

Gucci 'Gucci II' Perfume Review

Image
Packaging: This bottle is very heavy with simple. It's a short and stubby square glass bottle with a thick round glass cap. The perfume is a purple colour seen through the bottle. The cap is sturdy and clicks shut. Notes: Top- black currant, margarin orange, cassia, red berry, bitter orange Middle-peony, blackberry, violet, freesia, jasmine, lily of the valley Base- musk, heliotrope, cedar Smell: This is a floral perfume. It has hints of floral with a massive lingering musk. I find this to last moderately on my skin so say 4-5 hrs, with not much whiffs throughout the day. I think it can be either a day or night perfume as it isn't too strong. I think it works better in the warmer seasons and the deep amber musk suiting the more 30+ range of women. When I smell this I feel relaxed, casual, as though I'm in the forest like a deep earthy smell with heaps of floral. I'm not a fan of this perfume as it's too woody with this same overpowering flor...

Burberry 'Burberry London for Women' Perfume Review

Image
Packaging: Rectangle glass bottle with a solid silver square cap. Wrapped around the bottle is the signature Burberry cream, red and navy tartan fabric print. It does give the bottle a understated chic to it. Notes: Top- rose, honeysuckle, tangerine Middle- taire flower, jasmine, peony, clementine zest Base- sandalwood, patchouli, musk Smell: This is a floral perfume. It has a floral hint but with a underlying musk that's waiting to burst out. I find this to last all day on my skin, getting whiffs of it throughout the day. I think it's either a day or night perfume. I do think it works better in the cooler months from the more deeper middle and base notes and suits any age range of women. It's one of those perfumes that attaches to your clothes that you can smell the next day faded. When I smell this, I feel chic, inspiring with warmth. Like a nice fuzzy blanket on a cold winters night with the rain pouring down outside. The scent is strong so you d...

Dior 'Midnight Poison' Perfume Review

Image
Packaging: Dark navy tinted glass bottle with four creases that replicate the creases in fabric. This is the same for the cap that is quite smaller to the size of the bottle. Silver writing is the only other element on the bottle. Notes: Top- mandarin, bergamot Middle- rose Base- amber, patchouli, vanilla Smell: This is a sweet deep sensual perfume. It has hints of fruit and vanilla to it initially that turns into a lingering wood scent. I find this to last all day on my skin, getting whiffs of it throughout the day. I think it's a night perfume. I do think it works better all year round for any mature women. It's one of those perfumes that attaches to your clothes that you can smell the next day faded. When I smell and wear this, I change into a different person. I know how weird that sounds, but in a good way I feel upbeat and that everything in my life is positive. I feel sexy, adventurous but a bit exotic, damn attractive, glamorous. I guess as the ...

Juicy Couture 'Viva La Juicy' Perfume Review

Image
Packaging: Heavy square glass bottle with bejewelled cap. Around the bas of the cap is a bright pink satin bow that has a gold 'J' and 'Couture' accents. These match the gold Juicy Couture emblem on the front of the bottle. I do like how tall the cap is as it makes the sturdy cap easy to grab and remove. Notes: Top- peach, wild berries Middle- honeysuckle, gardenia, jasmine Base- amber, sandalwood, praline, caramel, vanilla Smell: This is a sweet and musky perfume. It has hints of vanilla and citrus to it initially that turns into the musk that lingers. I find this to last all day on my skin, getting whiffs of it throughout the day. I think it can be either a day or night perfume as it isn't too strong. It suits to be worn in any season and the 18-26 age range of women. This is one of my two favourite perfumes, that I'll never not have in my possession. Firstly I love the pink bow and with the bejewelled cap, adds that classic girly touc...

Prada 'Candy' Perfume Review

Image
Packaging: Circular glass bottle with the pump a black semi circle that sits above the bottle. The hardware is gold including the word Prada embellishment that sits on a hot pink, synthetic fabric plastic band. Prada Candy is engraved on the flat plate under the pump. There is no cap to this perfume which is different but the black pump I find to look very unusual. Notes: Top- musk Middle- benzoin (vanilla copy) Base- caramel Smell: This is a sweet perfume. It is a light scent that defiantly isn't overpowering that last 1-2hrs on me throughout a normal day of no excessive movement/ exercise in the cool to warm months. I do think it works better in the cooler seasons and suited for the younger teen audience as its light and sweet. When I smell this, I get a mix of vodka and some floral note. The alcohol/vodka smell doesn't last for too long. Im not impressed with this perfume purely based on the longevity, especially for how expensive it is and being a p...
