Serial Sampler #22

I first saw this perfume when the advertisement was broadcast on television last year (2019). Dua Lipa is the model/spokesperson for the scent. I really wanted to test it as I got a sexy vibe from it, but I only looked up the notes when I received the sample.

It is Libre by Yves Saint Laurent and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.

“The first floral lavender for a singular trail like a breath of freedom. The iconic orange blossom flower from Morocco, a luminous and sensual white flower, twisted by the lavender from France, an ambiguous flower often considered as masculine, bringing boldness, freshness and texture. A fragrance as a shout of freedom, the freedom to live everything to the fullest.”

It contains a mixture of notes such as; Mandarin Orange, Lavender, Black Currant, Petitgrain, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Madagascar Vanilla, Cedar, Ambergris and Musk.
I wasn’t expecting to like this scent after I read what notes were in it, as it was described as a floral lavender scent. I was surprisingly wrong, it smells absolutely stunning! I don’t really detect the lavender (good for me), but I do smell the vanilla and a mixture of the other floral notes. It kind of almost reminds me of a fresher and fruitier version of Loverdose by Diesel. It does smell sexy, but in a fresh and not dark and woody way. There is the right balance of musk and it is not overpowering It is mostly tailed to women, but I think it could actually be unisex as it is not too fruity. I wouldn’t mind smelling this scent on a man! I would 100% buy a bottle of this and highly recommend that you give it a sniff. I won’t be purchasing it straight away though, as I am on a no buy for perfumes as I have some to use up and I have not long purchased a 100ml bottle of Avril Lavigne Black Star EDP!

You can buy it in 10ml (£N/A/$30), 30ml (£56/$78), 50ml (£78/$104) and 90ml (£100/$130) and it is available at places such as; YSLBeauty.co.uk and Sephora.

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...
