Juicy Couture Couture La La Review

This is one of the perfume I have been wanting for so long. This is the Juicy Couture Couture La La. I got this through MySale, use some vouchers I have and I only pay this perfume for RM60+. It is one of the best spend money ever! They always have perfume sale and don't ask me more about this. As far as I trust that they are all authentic. So back to the topic, obviously I am going to talk about why I buy this. Of course, the packaging are just... can we just take a moment to appreciate the gorgeous rose gold box and the hot pink ribbon on the bottle. Sho cute! I got the one in 100ml. I think it is the biggest one and yes the bottle is pretty heavy. Not travel friendly. It has this diamond shape cap and these beautiful clear rhinestones charms on the neck of the bottle. Top it of with a very striking hot pink ribbon tied perfectly on it. It also have a embossed silver Juicy Couture signature cute puppies on the front. The bottle is transparent clear and the perfume itself are actually coloured. So that is all for the look of the perfume. Pretty mouthful.

Now I am going to talk about the scent. Another reason why I got this is that this is the scent that is basically "fresh". The first debut Juicy Couture perfume smells more "luxury" I could say. This one are just my type of scent. This version are describe as a free spirited and effortlessly glamorous women. It has a luscious Floral - Fruity bouquet scent with a bit of a fresh musky noted. The top notes are mandarin, green apple and red current. The middle noted are White flowers of lily of the valley, orange blossom with a mix of powdery violet leaves. The base are sensual musk accords. The face of this perfume is said to be Karlie Kloss. They are available in Sephora if you are interested in touching and smelling them by your self and they retails about RM340+ if I am not mistaken. I might dive in to more Juicy Couture others perfume range because i think they are one of the designer perfume that I love especially on the look of the bottle it self. Pretty sum up a Sabrina, the sucker for packaging.

That one scent that reminds you.

Sponsored Post.

I know that everyone can relate to this. Have you ever experienced the time when you were at a place, took a deep breath and it reminds you of something, someone or some situations? For example, a breezy grass upon the field reminds you of your childhood, playing with friends and getting all dirty having fun all the way. Can a certain scent also remind you of someone? Sure it can and I know that you can relate to this. It is a very sentimental and special thing to each individual person.

Saw this really sweet video! Can they tell one another by scent alone? Where 2 couples are featured, a partner has been blindfolded and they run a test on them to see if they can recognize their partner by just sniffing their scent. For the blindfolded boyfriend, there are 2 other girls in addition to his girlfriend and each girl will choose their signature scent. For the blindfolded girlfriend, the same is done with 2 other men and each of them would choose a scent. To represent their personality and choices, which scent would they would pick up and wear?

In the video the real girlfriend, Geraldene wore Gucci Bamboo. The other two, Trixie & Christine wore Dolce & Gabanna’s Floral Drops and Hugo Boss’s Ma Vie respectively. Does the boyfriend get to identify correctly which is his girlfriend while blindfolded? For the other video, will Hayden also be correctly identified by his girlfriend? Watch below!

The Test
The Girlfriend Test
The Boyfriend Test

Nawww... I know right! How sweet is that! It shows how your partner really pays attention to every single thing about you. They know your personality and what you would pick even if it is just a scent. Fragrance may be a small aspect but it really gives a whole lot of impact to each individual. I have been with my husband before we got married for 8 years. He stills talk about the perfume I wore during our first date. It was a floral scent I bought years ago. He said that the scent reminds him on how we met, how we first looked at each other and it was truly a memory we both cherish.

So every time when I buy a new perfume and bring it home, I know he will love it and sometimes, even wears it! Haha! I personally use the Dolce & Gabanna’s Floral Drops. I have featured it in my blogpost before. It is one of his favourite scents and I love something floral and fresh. Glad he loves it too! So what is your signature scent? What reminds you of a special someone?

This post has been sponsored by Gucci and Hugo Boss, but all thoughts are my own.

The Body Shop Italian Summer Fig Eau De Toilette Review

Happy Friday. It's my birthday today! :P Today Fragrance Friday featuring  Italian Summer Fig Eau De Toilette from The Body Shop. It is describe as a fresh, fruity fragrance of Italian Summer Fig. I never seen a fig before. But from my little research these are fruits found in the western Asia. The figs that re hand picked are said from the emblematic of the Puglian coast in Italy. There is where the sun-baked soils produce them in abundance and with a juicy scent that fills the warm air in summer. During the summer where the figs are the richest and this is where they create this succulent green scent.

It comes in a very black and white chic designed box. Love the green neon detailing inside. The bottle are made out of a very high quality glass that looks like a half dome shape with a normal pump spray. Looks like the Viktor & Rolf flowerbomb but just half of it haha. First impression towards the scent to me is sweet and warm ~ musky. To my personal preference, this is a pretty strong scent for me. I like something light and flowery. It is pretty sweet but not that overpowering, and I think suitable for day time use if I want to go for a more stronger scent on that day. This fragrance last on me about 3-4 hours, it is pretty handy and travel friendly.

You can purchase this online at The Body Shop Malaysia Online Store or any outlets nationwide. This retails for RM109.00 (50ml) each. They also have other similar varieties such as Japanese Cherry Blossom, Atlas Mountain Rose, Fijian Water Lotus & Indian Night Jasmine.
