Serial Sampler #26

I am sampling a newer version of a really old perfume today. It was first released way back in 1957 and dedicated to the actress Audrey Hepburn. It was modernised and re-released in 2018, which is the version I am testing today. I believe the name of the fragrance means ‘The Forbidden’ in French.

It is L’Interdit by GIVENCHY and it is a 1ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.

“The shocking side of chic. A forbidden blend of a white flower and a dark accord. A resolutely underground flower.”
It contains a mixture of notes such as; Bergamot, Pear, Tuberose, Orange Blossom, Jasmine Sambac, Patchouli, Vetiver, Ambroxan and Vanilla.

This smells very classy and floral. It is not too strong, but you can definitely smell the Bergamot, Pear, Jasmine Sambac and Patchouli notes. The Pear does tone the floraliness down quite a bit, which is why I quite like it. I wouldn’t go out and purchase a bottle right away as it isn’t my typical scent and it reads as a mature scent to me, but I will definitely finish up the sample and keep it in mind should my taste in fragrances change in the future.

You can buy it in 35ml (£52/$67), 50ml (£73.50/$93) and 80ml (£88.50/$111) and it is available at places such as; Boots, Superdrug, FeelUnique.com, Macys.com and Sephora.

Yesterday I picked up the new edition of Glamour Magazine, well three copies of them actually! It is the July 2013 edition and you get a choice of five free MODEL CO products and four different magazine covers ( Rebel Wilson , Zooey Deschanel , Myleene Klass & Daniel Radcliffe ). I have never heard of the MODEL CO brand before, but judging by their website, they are marketed as high end.

Graze | New Packets #1 - Love Cake

I thought I would share this cake with you, seeing as though I have stopped the overall Graze Box posts. I am now only just going to share new packets with you, and I recently received this one. It is called the Love Cake and it is really nice and light. Although it was tasty, it was mostly lemon and I could taste and the texture of the sponge was quite dry! If I receive this again, I would happily eat it, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to make sure I receive it again! Would you fancy a bite of the love cake? ♥ ♥ ♥
