NEXT Paradise Wardrobe

I thought I would review a perfume set. One of the scents in the set is already known to me, but I was mostly interested in trialling the other two scents and seeing how they differ.

The bottles are small glass cuboids with silver plastic lids. They all have the regular perfume spritzer. Each one has a different colour theme; Blue (Escape), Pink (Paradise) and Green (Island). Each bottle holds 15ml of the eau de parfums.
Paradise Escape

Top Notes: Bergamot & Verbena
Base Notes: Musk & Sandalwood

This scent smells quite fresh and you definitely get the hint of musk, verbena and rose. It also kind of smells masculine, but not really noticeably. It does remind me of an ocean type scent.
 Paradise

Top Notes: Apple & Lemon
Middle Notes: Magnolia & Rose
Base Notes: Sandalwood & Musk

I love this scent and I have for years. Next keep discontinuing this scent and then a couple years later, they bring it back. I got my first bottle when I was quite young and I have bought it on and off since then. Each time it is brought back, it has a new bottle and new theme, but the same classic scent. It smells really bright and fruity and you get the subtle floral notes. I can mostly detect the magnolia and apple with the sandalwood.
 Paradise Island

Top Notes: Mango & Guava
Middle Notes: Coconut Water & Pineapple
Base Notes: Sandalwood & Musk

This one smells quite fruity and you really get the hints of the coconut and pineapple. The coconut makes it smell slightly softer and it reminds me of a tropical beach.

I thought I would like Island the least because it contains coconut water and I don’t like coconut scents at all. The Escape was my least favourite and was kind of disappointing; I thought it would smell more floral. The original Paradise is of course my favourite of the three and I kind of already knew it would be. All of the scents do last a while on the skin, but I find Paradise to be the longest lasting. This is a great set if you want to try before you buy a full sized bottle, which is why I will not be re-purchasing this set.

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, watermelo...

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...
