Serial Sampler #36

This is another perfume sample that I have had for a very long time. This is a spin-off scent of an original scent by DKNY.   It is Golden Delicious by DKNY and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   Launched: 2010   Type: Floral Woody Musk Notes Top: Red Apple, African Orange Flower and Plum. Middle: Lily-Of-The-Valley, Lily, Orchid and Rose. Base: Sandalwood, Teak Wood and Musk. This is a nice, light fresh scent and it does smell like the other Delicious fragrances I have tried, but with it’s own extra twist. It isn’t really an original smelling scent as I have previously owned a few scents that it reminds me of. I can definitely detect the Red Apple, African Orange Flower, Orchid and Musk notes. It doesn’t really smell woody to me at all; it is a light floral scent with a sparkling fruit twist I would say. I would definitely wear it, but I won’t be purchasing a full bottle any time soon as I still have other perfumes to work through. I do recommen...

Serial Sampler #28

I’ve had this sample for a while and I have only just got around to giving it a whiff! It is Be Tempted by DKNY and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. It contains a mixture of notes such as; Cassia, Lemon, Red Berries, Licorice, Apple, Rose, Violet, Orange Blossom, Indonesian Patchouli Leaf, Vanilla and Myrrh. This perfume does smell great! It smells fresh, sparkling, and fruity and it isn’t overpowering. You can really smell the berry and patchouli notes and it comes across as a sort of summer scent. I would actually buy a bottle of this. You can buy it in 30ml (£26.40), 50ml (£55) and 100ml (£74) and it is available at places such as; Boots, AllBeauty.com and Sephora. | I purchased this sample from eBay.co.uk |

Perfume Power! - DKNY 'Stories'

I’ve had this perfume for a while now and I originally bought it as part of a gift set during the Christmas sales. The bottle is made of clear glass and it is hexagonal shaped. I believe the bottle is supposed to look like a New York skyscraper. The neck of the bottle has a thick metallic ring around it, with DKNY printed around it. On top of the ring sits the metallic cylindrical cap, which lifts off to reveal a spritzer which you press down to dispense the scent. You can purchase it in 30ml (£43.50), 50ml (£59.50) and 100ml (£79.50/$98.00) from DonnaKaran.com and Boots.com. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Guava, Milk Mousse, Pink Pepper & Black Cardamom Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Iris & White Tea Base Notes: Vanilla, White Sandalwood & Ambergris I like bottle design; it is simple but beautifully elegant. It is quite a strong scent, so it will last a very long time on your skin. The scent is divine! It is quite a mature scent compared to my u...

Haul: Recent Purchases #7

I have purchased a hell of a lot of beauty related items between Christmas, New Year and beyond, I have completely gone mental!!! I can’t quite believe how much I have purchased or spent. I got discounts off the majority of the items, but it is still a lot to process. I thought I may as well share with you what I purchased. From BeautyBay.com, I got the Melt Cosmetics Eyeshadow Stack in Haze , ZOEVA Classic Brush Holder , RINCÓN Sugar Rush Palette and the BPERFECT Stacey Marie Carnival Palette . I already have three of the brush holders and I am also interested in getting another eyeshadow stack in the not so distant future. I originally saw this stack a month or so ago, but I was put off by the price, when I saw it discounted just after Christmas, I took advantage. The Rincon palette I believe is new and the colour story is right up my street. I first saw the carnival palette a few months ago and I was like, no, I don’t like colour. My tastes keep changing and I am now start...

Haul: Recent Purchases #3

I just wanted to share with you a few naughty purchases and I’m sure these won’t be the last of this month! From FeelUnique.com I finally got my hands on the Juicy Couture Duo Spray Set , which includes two 7.5ml purse sprays of Viva La Juicy La Fleur and Viva La Juicy . I also bought the Urban Decay Nirvana Build Your Own Quad Palette , as I eventually plan on buying some single UD eyeshadows and need somewhere cute to house them. Lastly, after deciding against the purchase, I listened to the little devil on my shoulder and got theBalm Balmsai Palette . From AllBeauty.com I bought a bigger size of the DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Perfume (50ml). I am still working my way through the 30ml, but I just couldn’t pass on the sale discount and I love the scent. I also decided to buy a 30ml bottle of Britney Spears Curious Perfume . It was so inexpensive and I wanted to own the fragrance again. I nearly bought the 100ml as it was equally inexpensive, but I haven’t smelled the...

Perfume Power! - DKNY 'Be Delicious Fresh Blossom'

I bought this perfume as a birthday present for my sister, as she really liked it and after smelling it on her all the time, I decided to buy it for myself. The bottle is the same apple sphere shape, like all the Be Delicious variants. This one is a smaller size, so it has the reflective silver plastic basic cap. This bottle’s base is also made of translucent glass, but it is clear and the colour comes from the liquid, which is a really light pink colour. Click here to read my review of the original Be Delicious. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Grapefruit, Cassis & Apricot Middle Notes: Lily-of-the-Valley, Rose & Jasmine Base Notes: Red Apple & Wood This perfume also smells quite fruity and florally and again the apple really stands out, but I find that it is not as sweet as the original Be Delicious, which has green apple instead of red. The floral notes also stand out more, which gives it a really girly and dainty feel that is not overpowe...

Perfume Power! - DKNY 'Be Delicious'

Photo:  FashionDayDreams.com My Mum went to a car boot sale and found this and bought it. My Mum didn’t like it so she gave it to my sister and then my sister gave it to me. The bottle is a sphere shape inspired by an apple. On the smaller sizes the cap is basic like on most perfumes and is made of silver reflective plastic. The bottle base is made of translucent bottle green glass. On the bigger sizes the cap doesn’t come off and it is the actual dispenser, so when you press it down the perfume sprays. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Grapefruit, Cucumber & Magnolia Middle Notes: Tuberose, Rose, Lily-of-the-Valley, Violet & Green Apple Base Notes: Sandalwood, Amber & Wood This perfume smells fruity, floral and fresh and the apple scent really stands out. It is also quite a strong scent, but it is not overpowering. I also think that it is quite universal as it is not sweet. Lastly because the scent is quite strong, it lasts quite a long time...

Haul: CheapSmells + More!

Hello, yesterday I received the two perfumes I ordered from CheapSmells.com, one I have smelt before I love it and the other I bought to try. I bought DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom (30ml) for £22.95. I actually bought this for my sister’s birthday last year and quite liked it myself, as we had tested it way before her birthday. At the time I was still in college and didn’t have a job so I couldn’t justify spending that money on myself, when I already had a lot of perfume, plus my sister got to have it as her ‘exclusive smell’ for the year, and now it’s MY turn! lol J Lastly I got Aquolina Pink Sugar (30ml) for £13.95. I had heard all the hype about it on YouTube and I knew I wouldn’t be able to find it in the UK, but I happen to have found it whilst I was looking at other perfumes on CheapSmells, so I was happy! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I knew it would smell quite sweet. And I actually don’t like it. The bottle is very cute, but the scent makes me feel a little qu...
