Review: Love, Words & Puzzles

Today I am going to review two Impulse scents that I haven’t previously tried before. I had seen these when they first came out, but decided I wasn’t really interested in them! I happened to be shopping one day and saw them and just decided to pick them both up to try out. They also sound like they are part of the same line, so I thought it would be a good idea for me to review them in one post.

Loving Words

The can design I have is a kind of jade colour, which is the main base colour. Underneath the logo there are a lot of different coloured words making up a heart. All the permanent scents have since had their cans re-designed. This can is now white based with a jade green bottom design with lilac flowers. The new design is very girly and it is nice, but not as eye-catching as the design of the can I currently have! You get 75ml of product in the can.

The fragrance notes are:-

Violet & Raspberry

This scent smells really fruity, florally, sexy and fresh. The raspberry is definitely the dominating note. The violet does tone down the raspberry quite a bit and it is kind of woodsy. The scent makes me think of a tropical ocean. This does smell really nice and it is kind of masculine compared to Love Puzzle. This probably won’t last all day, but because it is one of the stronger scents it should stick around a while.

This is a really great scent and would definitely re-purchase it.

Love Puzzle

This can design is white based with a lot of different coloured words making up a heart shape around the logo. You get 75ml of product in the can.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Pear, Plum, Apricot & Mango

Middle Notes: Peony, Lilac & Violet

Base Notes: Blackberry, Musk, White Amber & Sandalwood

This scent smells really fruity, florally light and fresh. I can really smell the fruit notes and the peony. It smells gorgeous! This scent probably won’t last all day, but Impulse scents in general do last quite a long time. From experience, the stronger it smells when you spray it, the longer it lasts on your skin. This has a softer scent than Loving Words and is slightly more beach and summer smelling, but they really do smell completely different!

This scent was Limited Edition for Summer 2012, so you’ll be lucky if you manage to find a can. It is definitely now one of my favourites, I’m just sad it took me so long to try it because I may not be able to re-purchase it!

Serial Sampler #17

I chose this sample as my free gift with purchase and I hadn’t heard of the brand before. It happens to be part of a series of four fragrances and they are all unisex/genderless. The designs of the full sized bottles are very interesting and artsy. Looking at the four, had I been able to pick which one to receive, I most likely would have chosen the one called 10am Flirt as it seems the fruitiest based of the four. The sample I have is Santal Sky by KIERIN NYC and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “Intertwined like vines, we stroll through Central Park. Leaves release their woody fragrance. Under a canopy of trees, in the center of it all, we are a million miles from city life. Music from impromptu drum circles, the rhythm of runners’ footsteps, diverse languages fill my ears like poetry. This retreat into nature refreshes my soul. The sun smiling down upon us, I pull my loved one close. In synchronicity we breathe.” It contains a mixture notes, such ...

Perfume Power! - Harajuku Lovers 'G'

I received this perfume as an Easter gift from a family member. The bottle design is really cute. It has a doll figure cap, which lifts off and the actual bottle is clear and simple glass, it kind of has a flower shaped base. The size I have is very small, so it is handy for your handbag. And I suppose you could keep the doll for collector’s purposes, when you have used up the perfume. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Crisp Mandarin, Fresh Coconut & Apple Skin Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Soft Freesia & Magnolia Vapour Base Notes: Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood & Cottonwoods To me it smells really strong for an eau de toilette. I quite like the scent because it is very feminine and quite sweet. The only thing I don’t like about it is the coconut. I don’t really like the coconut scent anyway. Other than that, it smells amazing, until the coconut hits your nose. I can also smell the floral side to it as well, the coconut does complement the flor...
