Serial Sampler #1

Today I thought I would share with you a couple of perfume samples I bought from eBay recently. I had heard of them before and I was just curious because the bottles look quite nice and they remind me of Alice in Wonderland.

They are both by Vivienne Westwood and are called Cheeky Alice and Naughty Alice.
The Cheeky Alice sample I have is a 1.2ml eau de toilette. The sample packaging is a sort of salmon peach colour with gold detailing.

“A cheeky and audacious twist of fresh peony and juicy plum, playing on top of a velvety floral heart”

It smells quite classic and it is suitable for all ages and tastes. It is slightly mature smelling, but it is still nice. The floral notes stand out the most.
The Naughty Alice sample I have is a 1.2ml eau de parfum. The sample packaging is a mint aqua blue sort of colour with gold detailing.

“A violet dash of provocation wrapped in a velvety rose veil of cheeky sophistication”

It smells quite woodsy and leafy. I would say it is more targeted towards a mature taste. It smells slightly crispy and herbally too.

Overall I prefer Cheeky Alice because it is more delicate and closer to my tastes. Naughty Alice is not what I expected at all. It is quite the assault on the senses! It just smells quite earthy and strange. Although I like Cheeky Alice, I am not sure if I would buy a full size bottle of it. I will definitely steer clear of Naughty Alice.

What do you think of these perfumes?

It smells quite sensual and it is a perfect example of a deep oriental floral scent. I can really s...

Perfume Power! - Britney Spears 'Midnight Fantasy'

I bought this perfume at the same time as Fantasy and Hidden Fantasy, as I have a Fantasy themed post planned. The bottle has a glass indigo spherical shape with light icy blue diamantes. The band around the neck of the bottle is a metallic lilac shade and the cap is rounded and made of translucent indigo plastic. Lastly, it has the regular perfume spritzer to dispense the aromatic liquid.                                                     The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Plum & Sour Cherry Middle Notes: Iris, Orchid & Freesia Base Notes: Amber, Musk & Vanilla The bottle is beautiful!
