Perfume Power! - Christina Aguilera 'Definition'


I have tried many Christina Aguilera fragrances over the years and this is the most recent one I have purchased.

The bottle design is similar to the CA fragrances and the outer box is also lace and flower themed. The bottle is a clear glass vase shape and is has a small black ribbon tied into a bow around the neck. The cap is diamond shaped and made out of clear plastic. It has the usual silver spritzer to dispense the scent. I purchased the 30ml bottle and it is available for £20.50 from places such as, AllBeauty.com and Sephora.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Sicilian Bergamot, Italian Mandarin & Red Apple
Middle Notes: Vanilla Orchid & Diamond Orchid
Base Notes: Hinoki Wood, Ambergris, Heliotrope & Musk

The vanilla scent is the strongest and it is kind of a classic evening time of scent. It reminds me a little bit of Far Away by Avon, but it is fruiter. It is not my typical scent, but I do actually like it. As soon as I smelt it, it reminded me of my Mum. The bottle is simple, elegant and follows the lace and flower theme as the other Christina scents. The perfume does last quite a long time on the skin and it isn’t overpowering, so you don’t have to worry about spraying too much.

Overall, this is a pleasant perfume and I would definitely recommend it to everyone. I probably wouldn’t re-purchase it as it isn’t typically a scent I would go for, plus I still have too many other perfumes to use up and new samples to test.

Perfume Power! - Taylor Swift 'Wonderstruck'

Photo: HerWorldPlus.com I actually received this as a free sample size (1.2ml), but I decided to do a review anyway, because you get enough of the scent to be able to give it a proper review, like you would a bottle size. * Click here to see what the sample looks like * The bottle design looks very pretty and definitely something I would love to have. The charms around the neck also look lovely, but MissBudgetBeauty bought it in 30ml and it didn’t have the charms, so the charms must be exclusive to the bigger sizes, which is a shame seeing as though I tend to buy 30ml, unless I really love the scent. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Freesia, Green Tea, Blackberry, Raspberry & Apple Blossom Middle Notes: Vanilla, Honeysuckle & Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Amber & Peach It does smell really nice and not as young as you would expect, it reminds me of a fruitier Loverdose by Diesel, without the liquorice. I can smell the peach, raspberry...

Serial Sampler #33

I once sent off for a perfume sample from Lancôme on Facebook and periodically they still send me samples of their new perfume releases. I received this one a while ago (ages after it first launched), but I have only just got around to testing it.   It is Idôle by Lancôme and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   Launched: 2019   Type: Floral Notes Top: Pear and Bergamot. Middle: Turkish Rose, Rose de Mai and Indian Jasmine. Base: White Musk and Vanilla. It is a really light spring time floral scent. It isn’t too mature smelling and it is not overpowering. It reminds me of the Gucci Flora and Hugo Boss Ma Vie perfumes a little. I can really smell the Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine and Musk notes. It is a fresh floral scent and would be good for day time wear. I do really like it, although it isn’t my typical choice of scent. I personally won’t be buying a bottle of it, but I would recommend it and buy it for someone as a gift.   You can purchase the L...
