Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb

Flowerbomb is one of those perfume that's always raved about but one I've never actually had the pleasure of owning. It isn't the cheapest of fragrances at £54 for a 50ml bottle of Eau de Toilette but it is very dense and lasts all day. The bottle itself isn't anything too out of the ordinary, the image is designed on a bomb shaped glass bottle with a silver lid and V&R tag. Ascetically it isn't the prettiest bottle I've had on my desk but it isn't something I dislike either.

So, for the scent; I expected it to be super floral and sickly but I was pleasantly surprised. On first spray it can be quite strong but the notes of jasmine, rose, freesia and orchid hit your senses straight away. However, the scent mellows quickly and becomes more muted wearable. I noticed it does have some slightly spicy notes to it too which helps the floral scents not become overpowering. The perfume is very versatile and suits everyone from teens to mature women. It smells lovely and expensive as opposed to sweet, cheap and sickly. However, I find it to be more of a day time scent as opposed to a night time scent where I prefer something a bit more stronger with more of a kick.

The only downfall to the perfume is that it's it's quite pricey and I use so much of it because I love it so much. This make it an issue with buying another bottle so it's more of a birthday/Christmas present sort of treat. Also, the scent needs topping up quite a lot and it does wear off which is not something you want to do with such an expensive perfume. Overall, I love the scent and it's quickly become one of my favourites and I'd recommend it to everyone.

Miss Dior Eau De Toilette

I think everyone has that one perfume in their collection that they will buy over and over again regardless of the price etc. For me it's the Miss Dior Eau De Toilette. I've had about 3 bottle of this perfume since I was about 14/15. The bottle itself is beautiful, very simple but cute with a square glass bottle and a clear bow top. It also has a quirky dogtooth etching on the base, very chic. The scent is what you'd expect from a very classic well established perfume, it's classed as a 'fruity' scent, however I disagree. I find it to be more on the musky/floral side of scents. It has high notes of Tunisian neroli, mid notes of Bulgarian and Turkish rose and base notes of patchouli and vanilla. It's a very pretty scent and wears perfectly with everything. I really have fallen in love with it.

It's very strong which allows you to use it moderately and has incredible staying power. I can use this in the morning and still smell it on my hair and skin the next morning. I'd say this perfume is targeted to younger women in their late teens to twenties. It's playful yet quite mature too, a 50ml bottle will cost you £53. It's definitely an evening scent and therefore tends to last me a lot longer, that and the fact you don't need to use too much!

Marc Jacobs Honey

I'm sure a few of you will have seen the latest Marc Jacobs addition advertised here there and everywhere. Many bloggers have had their say via sponsored posts but hey I'm always up for an honest fair review so I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and try it myself. I'm a massive fan of their fragrances and I'm yet to be disappointed by any of their releases.

So boyfie was recently on his holidays and offered to pick me up a bottle on the way home, obviously this was an offer I couldn't decline. Without any description of the fragrance, the bottles are enough to sell me. Their quirky contemporary designs are beautiful and will sit beautifully on your dressing table. The pearl bumble bees and polka dot bottle is adorable. Now for the important part, so what does it smell like? From name and the bottle design you'd expect it to be a sickly sweet scent, however I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't as I expected at all, instead I was greeted by a fresh, floral and citrus scent. The notes are a balanced mix of pear and mandarin with tones of honeysuckle, orange blossom and fruit nectars. There are also some base notes of vanilla, woods and honey.

The scent is perfect and I was instantly in love with it despite it not being something I'd usually go for. It is defiantly a strong spring/summer scent although it's very versatile and can be worn day and night. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't linger as much as other perfumes so it needs to be topped up regularly which is a pain considering a 100ml bottle sets you back £68. However it's beautiful and no doubt this will be getting used daily for the next few months.
