Micheal Kors/Rose Radiant Gold

This is my fave winter fragrance.

I love so many of the MK fragrances but the Rose Radiant Gold has to be my go to at the moment. 

It's a real mix of warm florals and musk, a heady long lasting fragrance which really does last on the skin. Really great for day or nighttime wear and one I'll keep going back to. I really loved the Glam Jasmine and it's very similar to that. If you prefer more citrus or fresh take a look at the other fragrances in the gold collection.  

The bottle is one you'll want displayed on your dresser too a gorgeous rose gold glass bottle with the unmistakable MK embossed lid. 
Have you tried the new Gold Collection?

Viktor & Rolf BONBON

Viktor & Rolf BONBON is as you'd expect from the name a delicious confectionery scent. 
The main notes are caramel mandarin and peach and it smells good enough to eat.

Viktor & Rolf describe the scent as.....

"BONBON eau de parfum by Viktor & Rolf, a timeless sensation inviting a pure and absolute pursuit of pleasure. She who wears BONBON, dresses herself in perfume while creating her own story. She is empowered, beautiful and complete. Caramel characterizes the scent's evolution. From inception to completion, the caramel notes mature from a sharp, edible top note to softer and milkier in the middle then darkening to add depth to the base note. 
A pure delight, a haute confection" 
 
How gorgeous is this gift set?
 Shaped like a cracker it's super glittery and so gorgeous. It's so luxurious and showcases the products beautifully.
 
You can shop this gift set at  The Fragrance Shop 
it retails at £79.50 for the 30ml size perfume with the body lotion and shower gel inclusive. 
 
The fragrance is also available to buy on it's own in 30, 50 and 90ml bottles.

Marc Jacobs/Decadence

Marc Jacobs latest offering is simply stunning, I was lucky enough to receive this for my 30th Birthday yesterday.

Decadence is, in my opinion different to previous releases in the sense that it's more musky and heady, rather than light and floral.

Italian plum, saffron, bulgarian rose, iris and papyrus wood give this it's mature and grown up scent.
The thing I LOVE about this is the bottle design, MJ always designs bottles that should be displayed, this is no exception. It's designed to look like a handbag! Even the chain is functional, it's so girly and adorable.

The fragrance has real staying power, a spray lasts all day, and I've had so many compliments on it already. Perfect for the colder months as it really is a warm fragrance.

Shop Decadence now in stores nationwide, prices start from £49 for 30ml, also avaliable in 50 & 100ml sizes.
The box is covered in a deep emerald green shade of velvet, and it really matches the scent perfectly.

Chanel/ Fragrance & Fashion

I adore the iconic Chanel bottle, and my old faithful Coco Madmomoiselle was on my Christmas wish list, as was the cute Chanel inspired clutch bag. I was lucky enough to get both of them.
 
The clutch bag is actually quite big, as far as clutch bags go, it has a chain inside too so you have the option of wearing it over the shoulder if you want to. The nude/pink hue means it'll add some girlie detailing to practically any outfit.
 
The clutch bag is avaliable online here and Chanel is avaliable in all major departtment and drugstores.
 
I need a night out to take my bag out and wear my perfume!

Dolce & Gabbana 'The One'

It most definitely felt like Christmas came early for me this week, the lovely people at D&G sent me this to try out, and those of you who know me, know i love my scents! 
This is a gorgeous smell for this time of year, notes of vanilla, amber, musk and each all combine to make it a warm, slightly oriental fragrance. It's really long lasting, and although I really love it i'll be saving mine for my Christmas party nights out. 

I would be very happy to get this as a gift, and its a beautiful bottle too. 

Treat yourself, you so deserve it! Pick yours up here at Boots.com prices start at £39.

Body Shop Honeymania Perfume & Soap


I have the best friends! 

I was lucky enough to receive couple of bits from the Body Shop's newest collection.....
Honeymania, to be honest when I first heard about this I wasn't sure at all, but I have to say the sweet, floral, yet light scent is beautiful. 

I have the EDT and the cutest bar of soap.....


 The perfume doesn't have a huge amount of staying power, but I tend to use Body Shop perfumes for day to day anyway, this does not make this scent any less yummy!

Next time your in The Body Shop, have a smell, you'll either love it or hate it, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. The range consists of body butter, shower gel and much more. The EDT is £8.50 and the soap is just £2, bargs!

Vera Wang Pink Princess

I've just come back from holiday, and you know what that means...Duty Free Shopping!

I bought a few bits and I've decided to feature them in separate posts, I have a couple of make up bits to share with you too, so keep an eye out for them soon. 

I picked up this 50ml bottle of Pink Princess for just £25, got to love a barg! 

I LOVE the glittery bottle and the little crown lid is super cute. 

The fragrance is sweet & floral, notes of pink grapefruit, marshmallow, sweet amber & honeysuckle, it's an unusual fragrance, but very girly. 

This is a limited edition so if you see it grab it while you can!

BOSS JOUR Pour Femme

      
BOSS JOUR Pour Femme is the new fragrance from BOSS Parfums. Available exclusively at Boots from June 26, followed by a nationwide roll-out on July 24.

The inspiration for this new day time fragrance is ‘the first light of day’ – as they feel that at this time of the day the BOSS woman takes a brief moment to prepare herself for the day ahead and feel inspired to pursue all its opportunities.

The fragrance was designed around three important parts that make up today’s modern woman being; light, inspiration and elegance. I really love the inspirational message they are sending with this campaign saying “the day starts at dawn – write your own story” because I am a true believer that every day presents an option for a fresh start!

Gwyneth Paltrow, who was the face of the BOSS NUIT Pour Femme, returns for her second campaign as Ambassador for BOSS JOUR Pour Femme.
Heavily advertised by the beautiful Gwenyth Paltrow, and with a gorgeous bottle, whats not to like about this fragrance? The only downside is it's staying power, It just doesn't last the day without having to reapply.

It would be a perfect day to day fragrance and its blend of floral and citrus is fresh and sweet without being too heavy.

The collection consists of eau de parfum (30ml/£35, 50ml/£49 and 75ml/£63), shower gel (£20), body lotion (£22) and deodorant (£20).

 If you cant wait and want to secure yours head over and join the Boots.com Waiting List and grab a free sample while your at it.

Britney Spears Island Fantasy


The newest instalment from Miss Spears is the beautiful 'Island Fantasy' this gorgeous summer inspired scent is really light and ideal for day to day wear this summer. 

Island fantasy is a fruity floral and the brands first EDT.

A potion of succulent fruits and colorful blossoms, evoking warm sunshine, ocean breezes and glittering beaches. Followed by a mouthwatering mix of citrus cocktail, mandarin, clementine, watery melon and red fruits intertwines with refreshing floral notes of jasmine, freesia and violet. A surprising finish of soft musky undertones and sugar cane makes the tantalizing aroma carefree, flirty and feminine.

Shimmering gold gemstones emblazon the green and blue ombré bottle, symbolizing a warm sun rising over tranquil turquoise waters and lush green florals.

This is a real steal at just £16 for a 100ml bottle, that's half price. I've only seen it in store and online through Superdrug on offer but keep your eyes peeled for it elsewhere. 


I love all the Britney fragrances the only thing I don't really like with this one is that it doesn't have as much staying power as the EDP's do. 


What perfume are you wearing this summer?

Gucci Guilty Black

I love perfume, anyone who knows me knows that & I love to smell nice. I go through fragrance at a pretty impressive rate and although I have one or two scents I will always stay loyal too I love trying out new fragrances.

Gucci Guilty* is the newest smell to join my collection. I loved the first Guilty fragrance and this is no different. I would say this is more of an evening fragrance, yet it's full of fruity goodness, with top notes of pink pepper & red fruits, it gives this fragrance a kind of oriental feel to me. Its light yet long lasting and the packaging is super cute. 

The box it's self I have to say makes the perfume look quite cheap, but don't let this put you off.


Retailing at around £40 for 30ml it is quite pricey, but it does have staying power so to me that makes it a good buy. 

Have you smelt Gucci Guilty Black yet? Or do you wear it? 

Let me know what you think :)
