Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:-

TURQUOISE SUMMER
This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5.

BORN IN PARADISE
This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelon, guava, coconut milk, pineapple, sandalwood, cedar and musk. It smells like sparkling vanilla. It is a soft scent, but it will linger for a while on your skin. It is a nice scent and you can actually smell the notes (vanilla & coconut), but I wouldn’t go out and buy a full bottle of it! I rate this scent 3/5.
CHERRY IN THE AIR
This bottle is pink/clear themed and has the following notes; sour cherry, raspberry, mandarin, marshmallow, gardenia, orchid, vanilla, sandalwood, oak, musk and white suede. It smells amazing! You can really detect that sour cherry and the other notes really compliment it. It is quite a strong scent, so it will last ages on your skin. I really love this scent and there is a possibly that I will buy a full bottle of it very soon! I give this delicious smelling scent a 5/5!

TAJ SUNSET
This bottle is orange/yellow themed with mango, nectarine, blood orange, lotus, water lily, raspberry, star apple, musk, sandalwood and coconut as it’s notes. It smells strongly of mango and sandalwood. As it is a strong scent, it will last and linger on your skin. It does smell nice, but I find it too much. I think there’s an orange fruit overload and I personally don’t think woody notes complement those sorts of fruits! It smells ok, but I wouldn’t buy a full bottle. I rate it 4/5.

Overall I have enjoyed testing these little scent potions. My favourite has to be Cherry In The Air, it smells absolutely amazing and so far I have managed to refrain from buying a full size bottle of it. The scent I least liked was Turquoise Summer, which I am quite disappointed by. All the notes scream out to me, but it just doesn’t smell like any of them!

Serial Sampler #41

An advertisement popped up on Facebook with an offer of a free sample of this new fragrance and I clicked straight away! I have previously tested the original scent of this fragrance line and I loved it, so I was also expecting to like this one.   It is Born In Roma Yellow Dream by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A floral lift of a thousand rose petals, twisted with a new clean and fresh addiction. ” Launched: 2021   Type: Floral / Feminine (Donna) Notes Top: Italian Lemon. Middle: Rose Essence. Base: Clean Accord and White Musks. This is a very soft and delicate floral scent with a fresh musk hint. It is definitely more floral smelling than the original Born In Roma fragrance. I can’t really detect the Italian Lemon. I can pick-up a fruity sort of hint, but it definitely isn’t lemon to me. I can detect the very light Rose Essence and White Musk and it does smell like a clean scent. It smells like a lovely spring day to me. I w...

Haul: Recent Purchases #3

I just wanted to share with you a few naughty purchases and I’m sure these won’t be the last of this month! From FeelUnique.com I finally got my hands on the Juicy Couture Duo Spray Set , which includes two 7.5ml purse sprays of Viva La Juicy La Fleur and Viva La Juicy . I also bought the Urban Decay Nirvana Build Your Own Quad Palette , as I eventually plan on buying some single UD eyeshadows and need somewhere cute to house them. Lastly, after deciding against the purchase, I listened to the little devil on my shoulder and got theBalm Balmsai Palette . From AllBeauty.com I bought a bigger size of the DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Perfume (50ml). I am still working my way through the 30ml, but I just couldn’t pass on the sale discount and I love the scent. I also decided to buy a 30ml bottle of Britney Spears Curious Perfume . It was so inexpensive and I wanted to own the fragrance again. I nearly bought the 100ml as it was equally inexpensive, but I haven’t smelled the...
