Beccafun ♥

This was the first ever perfume I bought myself and I was still at school at the time. I only ever had the one bottle and it has been many a year since I used it up and last caught a whiff of this scent! I recently had a craving to smell it again, so I decided to get myself a bottle. The bottle is made of glass and has a sort of hourglass/silhouette shape. There is a black flowery lace design all over the front of the bottle. The bottle design is apparently inspired by a dress that the designer Marcel Rochas made for actress Mae West. The clear plastic cap is almost diamond shaped and it lifts off to reveal a spritzer, which you press down to dispense the scent. You can purchase it in 30ml for £20.00 from AllBeauty.com and FragranceDirect.co.uk. Launched: 2007 Type: Fruity with soft floral undertones. Classification: Eau De Parfum Notes Top: Black Currant, Tangerine, Exotic Fruits and Pineapple. Middle: Peony, Plum and Jasmine. Base: Vanilla, White M...

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...

I had wanted to purchase this perfume for years, ever since I had a sample of it. I held off buying it because I am not or never was a Justin Bieber fan and I thought it would be a little embarrassing to own something of his. Now I am a bit older, I don’t really care because I love smelling lovely and I remembered this scent being very lovely. The bottle itself it made out of purple glass and it is heart shaped and quite long and narrow. The bottle is encased inside a pink and purple springy plastic sort of case. I’m not really sure how to describe the casing. You are able to remove the bottle from the casing. The casing comes in two parts (cap and cup) which fit together by two weak magnets. I think the bottle design is supposed to represent a real heart. The purple bottle would be the heart and the casing would be your rib cage. It has a regular button press spritzer to dispense the scent. It is available in 30ml (£20), 50ml (£29.00) and 100ml (£40.00). I’m not too sure if yo...

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...

I bought this perfume a while ago because I couldn’t find a sample of it anywhere and I thought I would just blind buy it anyway. I like a lot of other Britney perfumes and I thought I would like this one too. I was a little wrong! The bottle is a transparent glass hexagonal diamond shape and it has a very simple, yet elegant design. The brand and perfume names are printed in gold across the front of the bottle. The cap is made of light pink plastic and shaped like a diamond. This perfume has the regular perfume spritzer. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Coffee, Whipped Cream, Nectarine & Clementine Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Orange Blossom & Dulce de Leche Base Notes: Amber & Musk The bottle design is very nice and sleek. This scent is really light and sweet; it would make a great candle scent. You can smell the musk and warm cream and coffee notes too and it kind of reminds me of Midnight Fantasy for some reason! It does last quite a while on...

I have been purchasing and testing a lot of Christina Aguilera perfumes and this one was next on my list. The bottle has a yellow gold glass rounded hourglass shape with a black lace flower design near the neck of the bottle and the name is written in red font across the front. It also has a plastic diamond shaped cap and a regular perfume spritzer. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Mandarin Orange, Peach, Star Anise & Orange Blossom Middle Notes: Freesia, Lily-of-the-Valley, Heliotrope & Jasmine Base Notes: Sandalwood, Amber, Musk & Benzoin The bottle is very nice and the scent does last quite a long time on your skin. You can mostly smell the musk and floral notes, which make it, smell deep and kind of mature. When I first smelled it, I didn’t like it. It is not my typical kind of scent, but it is ok. It kind of reminds me of Loverdose by Diesel, which has liquorice as a note. I personally wouldn’t re-purchase it, but I would recommend it. ...

This review has been a long time coming because I have been wearing this scent for over two years. I saw it on television adverts, but first smelled it in Superdrug and instantly fell in love with it. I find the scent iconic and when I smell it anywhere, I know exactly what it is. It is one of my favourite smells in the whole world and I always close my eyes when I first smell it. Sometimes I just sit there sniffing the bottle, that is how addicted to the scent I am! The bottle is sort of diamond shaped and made of glass with a gold shiny plastic lid covering. There is a gap near the bottom of the bottle where the spritzer is. The part where the perfume name is engraved is where press to dispense the fragrance from the spritzer. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Neroli, Amalfi Lemon & Raspberry Middle Notes: Jasmine, African Orange Flower & Gardenia Base Notes: Patchouli, White Honey & Amber I do like the bottle design as it is simple and compact. ...

Today’s perfume power is quite a short one. I purchased this perfume not so long ago because it is a Britney scent and I just had to test it. The bottle is made of light azure blue frosted glass and has a spherical shape with a pink and white hibiscus flower pattern on the front. The textured band around the neck of the bottle is white and the cap is rounded and made of translucent red plastic. Lastly, it has the regular perfume spritzer to dispense the liquid. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Strelitzia, Passionfruit & Pink Grapefruit Middle Notes: Hibiscus, Cyclamen, Tiare Flower & Orange Blossom Base Notes: Coconut, Vanilla, Musk, White Amber & White Wood The bottle is beautiful and the scent is quite light and delicate and actually quite nice considering I don’t like coconut. I can mostly smell the coconut, grapefruit and vanilla notes. It does last a while on the skin. Although it is pleasant, it is definitely not my typical scent and I proba...

This perfume was also on my test list on Fragrantica and I bought it at the same time as Christina Aguilera ‘Woman’. I got the 30ml bottle in the eau de parfum. The bottle is made of glass and is a sort of rounded hourglass shape. It has pink velvet rose design part way down the bottom of the bottle and Christina’s name is printed in hot pink and the perfume name is also printed in hot pink at the top of the bottle. It has rose gold banding around the neck for the cap to sit on. The cap is clear plastic and kind of diamond shaped. It has a rose gold spritzer to dispense the scent. On the outer cardboard box it had this description; “Stirs inner passion like the velvety petals of a rose bouquet”. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Raspberry, Litchi & Freesia Middle Notes: Rose, Honeysuckle & Iris Base Notes: Musk, Vanilla & Sandalwood I like the bottle design, it is simple but pretty. It is a very light scent and the strongest note is definitely rose...

I decided to buy this perfume as it was on my test list on Fragrantica and I saw it for a decent price. I have been struggling to find places to buy perfume samples lately, so I took a gamble and bought the smallest bottle size I could. I got the 30ml bottle in the eau de parfum. The bottle is made of glass and kind of an hourglass shape, just like some of Christina’s other perfumes. It has a yellow gold flower design on the thinnest part of the bottle and Christina’s name is printed in hot pink and the perfume name printed in yellow gold. It also has yellow gold banding around the neck for the cap to sit on. The cap is clear plastic and kind of diamond shaped. It has a slight yellow gold spritzer to dispense the scent. On the outer cardboard box it had this description; “A sensual combination of golden amber and white flowers - radiating femininity the way a woman does”. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Litchi & Pear Middle Notes: Magnol...

I was shopping in Morrison’s just before Black Friday and came across a discount perfume stand. They don’t actually sell perfumes, so I thought it was a bit odd but I decided to have a look and came across this scent. I had been wanting to test it for years but never got around to it. I decided to risk it and buy it as it was only £10.00. I got the 30ml bottle in the eau de toilette. The bottle is heart shaped and is made of thick clear glass and it has a sort of flat diamond shape base to enable it to stand up. The perfume liquid is a light lilac colour. The gold metal cap is crown shaped and has lilac stones stuck around it. The writing on the bottle is in dark purple and has the brand name in bold letters and the fragrance name in a calligraphy type font. It has a regular gold spritzer to dispense the scent. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Ivy, Water Lily & Tangerine Middle Notes: Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Mimosa & Moroccan Rose Base Notes: Apricot, Am...

I have decided to do a review on the perfume I chose from my Boots Christmas Scent set. It’s taken me a while, but I finally cashed in my voucher and picked my bottle up. For those of you that may not have seen my blog post on the perfume tester set, basically I had a set with eight vials of the best-selling female perfumes at Boots. You got a voucher with the set and you had to choose your favourite scent out of the eight and then you could take your voucher to any Boots store and claim your bottle. If you received the set as a gift, then technically you get to choose a bottle for free. I actually bought the set myself, so it meant I got to try eight different scents before decided on one. The whole idea was for me to test perfumes that I wouldn’t have chosen to test in person or ‘blind bought’ online. I got the 30ml bottle in the eau de parfum. The bottle itself is cuboid shaped and has a little weight to it. It has a gold band around the top with the brand name imprinted on i...

This is the fifth Fantasy perfume I have bought, and mostly in aid of the Fantasy post I have planned for you. The bottle has a glass red spherical shape with icy pink diamantes. The band around the neck of the bottle is a ruby red shade and the cap is rounded and made of translucent red plastic. Lastly, it has the regular perfume spritzer to dispense the liquid.                                                     The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Orange, Tangerine, Lemon Verbena & Neroli Middle Notes: Clove, Sweet Notes, Lily & Jasmine Base Notes: Vanilla, Wood, Sandalwood & Amber The bottle, like the others from the Fantasy range, is very well designed and lovely to look at. The vanilla, tangerine...
