Serial Sampler #39

I have another perfume sample to share today. Again, I can’t remember how long I have had this one, but I know I haven’t smelled it before. I always mean’t to test it sooner, but didn’t for reason, so now is the time!
 
It is Olympéa by Paco Rabanne and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.
 
“The divine perfume with a fresh oriental signature; it’s sparkling green tangerine top notes reveal a unique salty vanilla accord. Then it’s addictive heart of captivating jasmine and ginger Lilly scents unveils a sensual ambergris and cashmere wood base”

Launched: 2015
 
Type: Oriental Floral / Feminine

Notes
Top: Water Jasmine, Green Mandarin and Ginger Flower.
Middle: Vanilla and Salt.
Base: Cashmere Wood, Ambergris and Sandalwood.
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this fragrance, I assumed it would smell like an ‘old lady’ floral but I was very wrong. It smells quite sensual and it is a perfect example of a deep oriental floral scent. I can really smell the Water Jasmine, Ambergris and Sandalwood notes. I really do like this scent and probably would wear it. It reminds me of the Lady Million (my favourite) fragrance, but deeper and more mature smelling. Some hints of it also remind me of the Mugler Alien Man Fusion fragrance. I would say it is more of an evening scent as it is strong in a deep way, but it is not too overpowering. I would also class it as unisex, but maybe bordering more on the masculine side. I do recommend that you give this one this whiff; I wouldn’t recommend blind buying it though as it will surprise you. I probably won’t buy a bottle as I already have two bottles of the Lady Million fragrance and I’m not sure if Olympéa is maybe too on the masculine side for my tastes, even though I do like it. I feel like I would like to smell it on a man more than on myself.
 
You can purchase the Paco Rabanne Olympéa Eau De Parfum in 30ml (£48.00), 50ml (£64.50) and 80ml (£82.50) from PacoRabanne.com.

Perfume Power! - Aquolina 'Pink Sugar'

I purchased this perfume because of all the hype in the YouTube ‘Beauty Guru’ community. The bottle design is very simple and classic and has feminine pink banding around the bottle. The fragrance notes are:- Bergamot, Sicilian Orange, Raspberry, Fig Leaves, Lily of the Valley, Liquorice, Strawberry, Red Fruit, Cotton Candy, Vanilla, Caramel, Musk, Wood, Powder. To me it smells really sweet, which is quite nice, but, it makes me feel sick and gives me a rotten headache because it smells too strong and like mouldy potpourri and it comes across really woody. It does stay on the skin for a long time and lingers long after, which is bad news for me really. It also makes my sister feel sick, so it's not just me! I really hoped that I would like this scent, but to me it is disgusting. I CANNOT and WILL NOT ever wear it. Rate: 0 / 5            Re-Purchase: NEVER Product Link: click here! RRP Price: £17 ...

LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #5 - September 2020

Last month’s box was the Sunkissed Edition and this month we have the Birthday Edition with a peach, white and gold themed box. It is LookFantastic’s sixth birthday this month. The six items inside the box should be worth over £77.00 altogether and there is an extra free gift included! Here is what I received this month:- brush works Jade Roller | £9.99 | This face roller is supposed to alleviate puffiness and tension in the face. You can use it to massage serums, moisturisers and face masks into the skin. I already own a face roller and I do use it a few times a week. I notice a slight difference when I’ve used it. I will give this one a go as it is quite different to the one I already have. This one has a smaller roller on one side that might be better for under my eyes. | Full Size - £9.99 | ESPA Pink Hair and Scalp Mud | 30ml - £5.10 | This hair mask is a mineral rich treatment mask that is supposed to deeply condition, to leave hair soft and smooth and the...
