BORN IN PARADISE

 

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this packaging?  It looks like summer has well and truly disappeared here in the UK but this perfume by Escada won't fail to whisk your mind away to a tropical island.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau De Parfum

When I'm choosing a new perfume there are 2 things that I am drawn to.  My absolute favourite types of fragrance are zesty, fruity scents and coming an extremely close second are pretty florals.  As it's name would suggest Flowerbomb Eau De Parfum* is an explosion of flowery scents perfectly blended together.  There are notes of freesia, centifolia rose, sambac jasmine and osmanthus with underlying hints of patchouli.

Annick Goutal Mandragore Eau De Toilette

Another beauty box sample today.  Unfortunately it'll still be a while before I can treat myself to some new products but I do still have quite a few untried goodies in my stash and lots of things I could do with using up.  So yeah, it's probably a good thing really!

Review: Robert Piguet Perfumes

Flo Atomiser

Back in August I went on Holiday to the beautiful Peniscola in Spain.  We flew back home from Barcelona and wow what a beautiful place that is!  Unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to take a look around as we got lost trying to find the car hire place but we did stop off for lunch by the beach.  I've never been to a place like it with the city spreading right up to the beach.  I enjoyed some delicious breaded monkfish and a strawberry soy milkshake.  Yum!

I hate having to wait around in airports so a stroll around the shops is a must.  It's such a shame that most of the prices aren't that different to the ones here in the UK now and you have to look out for the odd % off deals instead.  Well I found myself a cracker!  I managed to pick up a 100ml bottle of DKNY Red Delicious.  I can't now remember how much it was but I knew it was cheaper than I'd seen the 50ml bottles on the high street.  A great deal, yes??

I love most DKNY fragrances with Be Delicious and Red Delicious right up there at the top, so it was an absolute disappointment a few weeks later when I excitedly opened up the box to find out... it didn't work!!  All of a sudden it wasn't such a great bargain.  After playing around with it and managing to get a couple of dribbles from the bottle it got tossed to one side until I figured out a way to fix it.

I'd put my frustrating find completely out of my head until a few days ago.  I popped out on my lunch to pick up a new bottle of perfume and saw sitting next to the fragrance cabinet a handful of Flo atomisers.  This had to be the answer, right?
