Serial Sampler #21

I have another perfume sample to test today. It is a spin-off of an already cult favourite scent. I actually love the original and it is my current favourite perfume. I have already owned one spin off scent and I thought I would test this one out too.

It is Lady Million Empire by Paco Rabanne and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.

It contains a mixture of notes such as; Orange, Neroli Essence, Red Currant, Magnolia, Orange Blossom, Osmanthus, Mirabelle, Cognac, Patchouli and White Musk.

It smells nothing like the original Lady Million perfume, but it is nice. You get a hint of spice and it is kind of warm, soft, powdery and musky in one go. It is definitely more of a floral scent and it is not in your face and overpowering. The original one can be overpowering if you spray too much of it. The floral notes do kind of smell sparkly and fresh, if that makes sense? I get a slight hint of what I am guessing is the Cognac, but I have never actually smelled or tasted Cognac before so can’t confirm 100% if it is the hint I am getting. I feel like I can detect a slight cinnamon vibe, but it isn’t listed as an ingredient/note. Overall, it is a nice scent and I do like it, but I don’t think I will purchase a bottle and I do much prefer the original Lady Million scent over this one.

You can buy it in 30ml (£48), 50ml (£64.50) and 80ml (£82.50) and it is available at places such as; PacoRabanne.com, Boots and Sephora.

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...

Perfume Power! - Soap & Glory™ 'Eau De Soap & Glory'

I bought this because I already had the first Soap & Glory perfume and I really loved the Mist You Madly line scent. The bottle is cuboid shaped and made of opaque black glass. It has a regular perfume spritzer and the cap is clear plastic and T shaped with a pink woollen sash wrapped around the base. On the front of the bottle there is a pink foiled sticker with the Soap & Glory logo. The fragrance notes are:- Bergamot, Cassis, Magnolia, Freesia, Vanilla & Musk This perfume is a strong florally and musky scent. It is quite sweet, but not overpowering. The bottle is also a classic design, so you can re-use as decoration if you peel the sticker off the front. It is the Formula 2 scent, which is what some of Soap & Glory products smell like (The Daily Smooth, Clean Girls, Mist You Madly etc.). I can really smell the bergamot, freesia and musk. It has a sort of masculine smell and does last for a while on your skin. It is a must have if you love the Mist...
