Review: Aldo Vandini Pure Eau de Parfum (White Magnolia and Cotton)

Hey Beauties!


I've once posted a photo of this perfume on my Instagram. I saw it in my local drugstore and my lovely cousin decided to buy it for me on Easter. I've hand the hand cream from this range before and when I saw I can also get a perfume, I was more than excited. 


The range is called Pure and it includes many other skin care products. Perfume is a blend of magnolia blossom, honey, rhubarb, peach, orange blossom, patchouli and vetiver. It costs 16.99€ and you get 50 ml of it (I bought it in Müller). The price is a bargain for such amount of product.

It has a nice transparent heavy glass bottle. Magnolia blossoms are printed all over the bottle. I will say I can see the top becoming loose and falling off with time. 


Regular spray pump and it disperses perfume really finely. 

The smell is simply amazing. When you spray it on it has a very sweet fruity smell, which quickly turns into a more sweet floral scent and later becomes like a comforting freshly washed clothes mixed with slight floral and woody notes. I love it. It's comforting, soft, yet kind of sweet and not too floral, because I don't like floral scents in general. It really is a unique blend that would be loved by many different people. This will be great summer fragrance, since it's not too strong or too sweet. 

I find that it lasts well. I wouldn't say it's really strong as some other scents, but I think this is also due to the scent itself, which is softer than most perfumes. I  still smell it on my skin at the end of the day, it's just not as intense, as when you spray it on. The bottle is very convenient, so you can easily carry it around and reapply it, when you need more. 


Maybe I gave you an idea on what to use in the summer. If you like blend of floral and sweet fruit, than definitely try it in the store and you may fall in love with it, like I did. The price is amazing.

Review: Aldo Vandini hydro hand balsam (Cotton & White Magnolia)

Hey Beauties!

I featured this little hand cream in my recent giveaway. I wanted this cream since I first smelled it in a store. I'm warning you, this was a purely oh-my-god-it-smells-so-good-i-need-it purchase :).


I'm not going to go on about this cream, because it is a hand cream - not much to say. I bought a smaller or travel sized version, because I very rarely use up entire hand cream and didn't know how it would even react to my skin. I was so happy to see this certain scent of Cotton and White Magnolia in the store (TuÅ¡ Drogerija Slovenian ladies ;) ). 

The smell is just amazing. Of course I can't explain it properly, but to me it smells extremely sophisticated. The smell is not overpowering, like with most products. It's very subtle, what I like. I think I would buy a perfume that smells like this, if there was any. Just a very clean, sophisticated, elegant smell. If you find it in a store, take s sniff and tell me if you like it as well.

The cream itself or the balsam, as it says on the packaging, is pretty moisturizing and sheer in consistency. It soaks in the skin extremely quickly and does not leave behind any greasiness or even stickiness. I guess it's not the best for extremely dry hands, it's more of a pick me up hand scent, I would say. I do have it in my bag and put it on, whenever I wanna smell nice. I also didn't have any bad or irritating reaction to it, so that's always a thumbs up for my sensitive skin. It's moisturizing too, but nothing overload, just a little moisture.


The ingredients list.


This little tube contains 20 ml of cream and it's squeezable. Very handy for throwing it in the bag and carrying it around. It costs 0.84€. 

So, if you like nice smelly things, I suggest picking this little cutie up and having it with you on the go.
