Hi guys, apologies for not blogging in over a week now! Unfortuantely, my computer went in for repair and I have only just gotten it back. It's safe to say that I didn't realise how much I would miss not having access to a keyboard for a week, I have been going stir crazy! With that being said, however, I am now completely ready to get back into the swing of blogging once again.
The other week, my parents went on holiday to Jersey and purchased me a brand spanking new bottle of perfume whilst in duty free - Marc Jacobs' 'Daisy Dream.' I have been a huge fan of Marc Jacobs for a while now, after already having both the 'Honey' and original 'Daisy' perfumes in my collection. So, I was pretty certain that I would love this new addition to my perfume collection too... and boy, was I right!
'Daisy Dream' is a gorgeously light and subtle fragrance that is perfect for every day wear, although I can imagine that it will smell even more amazing as we enter into the spring and summer months too. It totally has that airy, ethereal kind of vibe to it! This is because as well as it being quite a floral fragrance, it also has some more fruity elements to it too. It truly is a wonderful combination of everything that I look for in a perfume to be honest!
Here is a full list of the notes and scents that feature within 'Daisy Dream':
Top Notes - blackberry, grapefruit & pear
Heart Notes - jasmine, lychee & blue wisteria
Base Notes - white woods, musks & coconut water
In addition to mentioning how lovely the scent itself is, I would also like to touch on its amazing packaging too! The same as with any other Marc Jacobs perfume, this bottle is to die for. I am obsessed with the simplistic yet beautiful flowers that surround the top and the lid of the bottle! I think its pretty safe to say that this is going to look so special on my shelf where I keep the rest of my perfumes in my bedroom.
This lovely eau de toilette is available in three different sizes: 30ml for £38.50, 50ml for £51.50 and 100ml for £69.50 (all prices are according to the Boots website.) If you love the fragrance as much as I do, you could also purchase a matching shower gel or body lotion too. Alternatively, you could just buy the amazing gift set for a fantastic £54.00, which would make for a wonderful gift for a loved one - or as a treat to yourself!
Overall, whether you are looking into buying Daisy Dream for yourself or for a friend, I would highly recommend it! It is just the most fruity and floral fragrance, yet it is incredibly subtle and sophisticated at the same time. It's a must buy in my eyes!
Hi guys. As you may or may not know, it was my 20th birthday last Wednesday and one of my main presents from my parents was Vera Wang's Lovestruck Floral Rush perfume. Lovestruck Floral Rush is a newer version of Vera Wang's original Lovestruck perfume but with you've guessed it, more of a floral twist! I had been lusting after this fragrance ever since I spritzed it on myself in my local Debenhams a few months ago. Hence, my Mum kindly went back and bought it for me! So, today I thought that I would do a mini review telling you all a bit more about this perfume and what I think of it so far. Let's get started!
Sizes & Pricing
This eau de parfum is available in three different sizes; 30ml , 50ml and 100ml. The size I have is the 30ml bottle which is priced at £35.00 on the Debenhams website, though the price does seem to vary slightly on other various beauty websites. Similarly, the 50ml bottle is usually around the £48.00 mark and a 100ml bottle will set you back roughly £62.00.
Fragrance Notes
The main notes of Lovestruck Floral Rush include champagne accord, pink passion flower and cashmere woods. The scent is, of course, predominantly floral but the addition of cashmere wood ensures that it is not too over-powering or sickly sweet. Although the scent is relatively light, there is a slight musk to it that makes it a little more sophisticated and sexy.
Longevity
In terms of how long this fragrance lasts on the skin, I think that it is incredibly long-wearing. I typically apply one spritz on my wrist and then rub both wrists together, as well as one on both sides of my neck and this seems to do the trick. Throughout the day as I am moving about, I always catch a whiff of the scent and it smells just as good as when it's first applied! As this is a special perfume, I will not be using it every day and so I hope that this bottle will last me a while too.
Packaging
The packaging of this perfume is what initially drew me in. My favourite colour is purple, so it immediately attracted my attention. I absolutely adore the lid which features three cute purple flowers, as well as the floral patterned bow around it. There is no doubt about it that this bottle is a real show stopper and it will look great displayed on your dressing table or shelf!
Overall, anybody who is a fan of floral scents will love this perfume. Not only does it smell gorgeous but of course, the pretty purple packaging is to die for too! I am so pleased that I received this as one of my birthday presents, I can quickly see it becoming my new favourite fragrance! If you are interested in what else I got presents wise, please check out Part 1 & Part 2 of 'What I Got For My 20th Birthday.' I hope you all enjoyed this mini review of Vera Wang's Lovestruck Floral Rush perfume. Have you tried this scent before? What is your favourite fragrance to wear?
