It's been a while since I last talked about a new fragrance I tried out. This one is not new per say, but it's new in my collection and I've been using it every day since I got it. It's quickly become my new favorite.

Review: Avon Herstory Eau de Parfum
6 Apr 2020
Avon released new fragrance for International Women's Day called Herstory. It celebrates women around the world and encourages them to say their story. It's one of woody floral mixes.
Review: Avon Little Sequin Dress Eau de Parfum
15 May 2017
I already have a few of Avon Little Dress fragrances and I have a review here. This is a range that features simple square bottles with variety of scents. There's something sophisticated, classic, fresher, ultra sweet and now something spring sweet. With the addition of Avon Little Sequin Dress you'll get something for those of you that like sweet fruits on sweet woody base with a hint of florals.
The bottle is a transparent square glass with transparent plastic top. Details are gold. In the back of the bottle is a design of sequins to represent its name. Spray pump works well. It comes in a paper box with a light pink design and silver sequins.
It's eau de parfum and in it is 50 ml of product. Regular price is 26€. Currently it's on offer for 20.50€ (Slovenia).
Avon describes this fragrance as a blend of mandarin, mango (top notes), gardenia, tropical flowers (middle notes), sensual musk and essence of the gold amber (Base notes). Fragrantica also listed sandalwood as one of the base notes.
The first splash of this fragrance gives you a very sweet fruity punch. I definitely smell mandarin and a lot of mango sweetness. Second after the first splash you get that floral note, which quickly turns into a more tropical scent like a mix of tropical fruit and flowers. After a while the fragrance turns into a sweeter woody one that really brings out all the classic base notes that I usually love so much in other fragrances.
If I had to describe it, I'd say that this it's a sweet tropical fruity floral fragrance. The base is quite sweet, but most of the time you get that strong scent of mango and hints of florals.
This scent starts off really strong, to the point where it's almost a bit too strong for my liking. It quickly fades away to a more subtle scent, but it's definitely not as long lasting on me as some other Avon fragrances.
If you like tropical scents of really sweet tropic fruits mixed with hints of florals, you'll definitely love this one. To me this is perfect fragrance to wear as the weather transitions from spring to summer. There's that floral note that's so commonly used for spring fragrances mixed with sweet tropical fruits that remind you of summer holidays. Combination of both gives you a quite strong scent which fades through the day fairly quick. It's a fairly basic sweet tropical fruity floral scent that sweet lovers will appreciate.

Že imam nekaj dišav iz Avonove linije Little Dress in ocene teh si lahko preberete tukaj. Gre za linijo dišav s preprostim kvadratnim dizjanom in večjim naborov vonjev. V liniji se najde nekaj bolj sofisticiranega, klasičnega, svežega, zelo sladkega in zdaj še nekaj bolj spomladansko sladkega. Z dodatkom nove Avon Little Sequin Dress je Avon dodal nekaj za vse, ki iščete sladko sadno dišavo z lesno sladko podlago in dodatkom ščepca cvetlic.
Steklenička je prozorna in ima obliko kvadrata. Pokrov je prozoren in plastičen. Detalji so v zlatih odtenkih. Na zadnji strani stekleničke je poslikava bleščic, ki predstavljajo ime dišave. Pumpica deluje v redu. Parfum dobite v škatlici, ki ima svetel roza dizajn s srebrnimi bleščicami.
Je parfumska voda in v steklenički se nahaja 50 ml izdelka. Redna cena parfuma je 26€. Trenutno jo lahko dobite za 20.50€ tukaj.
Avon opiše dišavo kot mešanico mandarine, manga (zgornje note), gardenije, tropskih rož (srednje note), senzualnega mošusa in esence zlatega jantarja (spodnje note). Fragrantica navaja še eno izmed spodnjih not in sicer sandalovino.
Prvi val dišave takoj po nanosu je močan sadni vonj. Vsekakor se dobro čuti mandarina in veliko sladkobe manga. Nekaj sekund po prvem nanosu opazim rožnate note, ki dišavo spremenijo v mešanico tropskega sadja in tropskega cvetja. Čez čas dišava postane bolj lesno sladka s klasičnimi spodnjimi notami, ki so mi tako zelo všeč v drugih dišavah.
Če bi morala opisati dišavo, bi rekla da je sladko tropsko sadno cvetlična dišava. Podlaga je precej sladka. Večino časa voham predvsem veliko manga s cvetličnim dodatkom.
Takoj pa nanosu dišave je ta izredno močna, skoraj malo preveč za moj okus. Sicer dokaj hitro postane bolj nežna verzija. Na meni dišava ni dolgo obstojna, vsaj ne tako kot več drugih Avonovih dišav.
Če imate radi tropske vonje z zelo sladkim tropskim sadjem zmešanim s cvetličnimi notami, potem vam bo ta dišava zagotovo všeč. Zame je to odlična dišava za prehod iz spomladanskega obdobja v poletno. Cvetlične note so pogosto uporabljene v spomladanskih dišavah. S sladko mešanico tropskega sadja me spomnijo na poletne počitnice. Kombinacija obojega se kaže v precej močni dišavi, ki pa čez dan dokaj hitro zbledi. Je klasičen sladko tropsko sadno cvetlični vonj, ki ga bodo občudovali vsi oboževalci sladkih dišav.

Review: Avon Imari Elixir
6 Apr 2017
My preferred taste in fragrances is everything that's a bit woody, musky, sweet and vanillary. I like fruity notes, but am not crazy about floral, although I've been changing my mind about that in the past couple of months. I've found some floral fragrances that don't smell like grandmas. Today it's all about a sweet and strong fragrance by Avon called Imari Elixir.
It has a somewhat rectangular bottle with cut off edges. I was attracted to it because of the black design paired with gold writing. Usually those colors represent something stronger and sexier. Paper box has the same theme.
In it is 50 ml of fragrance and the regular price is 20€. Currently you can get it for 11.90€ (Slovenia).
Spray works fine, but actually produces a large amount of liquid with one press.
It's an eau de toilette, so it's not as long lasting as perfume, but it has a strong power to it, so it still lasts well on my skin.
Avon says that it has notes of blackberry, rose absolute and vanilla extract.
I always love to check the notes on fragrantica and they describe it like so...
Base notes: patchouli, red amber and vanilla.
Middle notes: ylan-ylang, jasmine and rose.
Top notes: mandarin orange, green apple and blackberry.
It starts with a very strong sweet fruity note, a bit berry like. As it evolves it becomes more floral and I kind of dislike this stage. It smells a bit like floral toilette re-fresheners. Too green and floral for my taste. I love it the most at the end stage when it becomes deeper and sweeter. It's also not as strong as with the first spritz that just hits you in the nose like a wave of fruity sweetness. In the end I smell it more as a vanilla sweet fragrance, very classic, but still strong for something that is eau de toilette.
I am on the fence with this scent. It's really strong at a first sniff and I kind of dislike floral notes in it as it smells cheap. I do love it once it evolves into those sweet base notes. It's somewhat classic strong sweet vanilla scent with a punch of blackberry and a whiff of rose. To me it's the perfect fall fragrance, because it smells too sweet and feels too heavy for a spring or summer. If you're the ultimate lover of vanilla classics and like strong sweet scents then you'll probably love it.
Review: Avon Life (Eau de Parfum, Perfumed Body Spray, Body Lotion)
22 Feb 2017
I got this Avon Life set back in September, but since I find it to be perfect spring fragrance, I decided to write a review now. Avon made this fragrance with the help of famous designer Kenzo Takada. If you have ever had any Kenzo perfumes in the past, you can bet that this one is just as amazing. I had a few of Kenzo perfumes in the past and one of the things I liked the most was their powdery finish, which is not as present in this set as in other perfumes. It's a mixture of Avon style with Kenzo's flower notes. Kenzo also created gorgeous bottle design of this perfume.
Avon Life set includes three products. There's eau de parfum, perfumed body spray and body lotion. I'm mostly going to talk about perfume, because the scent in all is the same. There are just different forms and textures to choose from.
Bottle design is inspired by violet, which is apparently very used symbol by Kenzo Takada. In the notes of perfume is also violet, so it makes sense. The bottle is glass and cylinder shaped with gorgeous intricate violet blossom design as a top. It's combined with gold details and red typography.
Paper box has geometric violet blossom designs imprinted into it so it looks a bit 3D. Combination of white and red looks really clean and vibrant in a way.
In the bottle is 50 ml of eau de parfum and the regular price is 37€. Usually Avon has it on sale for less.
Perfume has a light yellow hue which matches well with gold details.
Top notes: red apple, water lily, white tea and citruses.
Middle notes: violet, peony and Japanese cherry blossom.
Bottom notes: iris, patchouli and ambrette (musk mallow).
First spritz of this fragrance is very fresh and floral. It quickly turns into a more gentle romantic floral note. At the end it becomes more sophisticated and sweeter, because of the musk base, but it still has romantic floral notes mixed with it. In general I would describe it as a very grown up scent and to me it's sophisticated to the max. I will say that it's fresh floral scent with just a hint of that warm oriental musk base. It has just a tiny bit of that famous Kenzo powdery base to it, but it's definitely not as prominent as in most of his other fragrances.
It has good staying power on my skin, as most Avon perfumes. I can definitely still smell it at the end of the day.
Perfumed body spray has white can with white plastic top. It has grey geometric designs of violet blossom. In it is 75 ml of product and the regular price is 6€.
I don't really use these kind of sprays. This is lighter in the staying power and can be used as a refresher through the day, when you feel like the initial power of fragrance is starting to vanish. It might also be better version for those that don't like strong power of eau de parfum.
Body lotion has the same white plastic tube packaging with grey violet blossom designs. In it is 150 ml of product and the regular price is 6€.
Lotion has white light creamy texture. It applies lovely and makes the skin slightly moisturized, but I wouldn't necessarily use it as a body care. It's more for adding another layer of fragrance to the skin to really prolong the scent. This would be great for warmer days, when there's more skin showing out. It has a subtle fragrance to it, that is not overpowering, but still gives you enough of that lovely smell.
I always say I'm not a fan of floral scents, but I might just become one. Avon Life is a lovely combination of fresh gentle floral scent with the combination of warmer musk. The combination is so sophisticated and grown up that I use it for occasions when I want to seem elegant. It's strong in the power, but fairly romantic in the scent. For the price you definitely get one of those perfumes that can easily compare to high end brands. I am not to keen on perfumed body spray or body lotion, because I don't use these. But if you like your fragrance to stay on through the whole day, these might just add you more layers of power.
You can buy this as a set or just buy each product separately on Avon (Slovenia).

Ta Avon Life set sem dobila že v septembru, ampak ker se mi je zdel vonj popoln za spomlad, sem se odločila, da set ocenim zdaj. Avon je ta vonj ustvaril skupaj z znanim modnim oblikovalcem - Kenzo Takada. Sama sem že preizkusila nekaj Kenzo parfumov in pri njih me je vedno najbolj navdušil pudrasta podlaga. Ta sicer ni tako zelo prisotna v Avon Life parfumu kot v drugih. Dišava je kombinacija Avonovega stila parfumov in Kenzove ljubezni do cvetličnih not. Kenzo je tudi ustvaril čudovit dizajn stekleničke parfuma.
Avon Life set vsebuje tri izdelke in sicer parfumsko vodo, parfumiran sprej za telo in losijon za telo. Večinoma bom govorila o parfuumu, ker je vonj v celotni liniji enak. Razlika je samo v oblikah in teksturah.
Dizajn stekleničke je dobil navdih po vijolici, ki je večkrat uporabljen simbol Kenzo Takade. V notah parfuma je prav tako vijolica. Steklenička je steklena v obliki valja. Pokrov je oblikovan kot cvet vijolice. Steklenička je kombinirana z zlatimi detajli in rdečo tipografijo.
Škatlica parfuma ima vtisnjene geometrične dizajne cvetov vijolic, zaradi česar izgleda 3D. Kombinacija bele in rdeče deluje precej čisto, a hkrati tudi živahno.
V steklenički je 50 ml parfumske vodice. Redna cena je 37€, čeprav jo Avon pogosto ponuja ceneje.
Parfum ima rahlo rumeno obarvano tekočino, ki se odlično ujema z zlatimi detajli. Zgornje note dišave so rdeče jabolko, lokvanj, bel čaj in citrusi. Srednje note so vijolica, potonika in japonski češnjev cvet. Spodnje note so iris, pačuli in mošus.
Prvi val dišave je zelo svež in cvetličen. Hitro se spremeni v bolj nežno romantično cvetlično dišavo. Na koncu postane sofisticirana in sladka dišava, predvsem zaradi mošusa, čeprav je še vedno čutiti prisotnost cvetličnih not. Na splošno bi to dišavo opisala kot odrasel vonj in predvsem zelo sofisticiran vonj. Zame je ta mešanica sveže cvetlična z razhlim dodatkom toplih orientalskih not mošusa. Na koži je čutiti slavno pudrast občutek, ki spremlja večino Kenzo dišav, čeprav pri tej ni tako močno prisoten kot pri drugih.
Na moji koži je parfum dobro obstojen, kot večina Avonovih parfumov. Ob koncu dneva ga še vedno voham na sebi.
Parfumiran spraj za telo ima belo embalažo s sivim geometričnim dizajnom cvetov vijolic. V njem je 75 ml izdelka in redna cena je 6€.
Sama ne uporabljam teh parfumiranih sprejev. To je lažja verzija glede obstojnosti in je lahko uporabljena kot osvežitev prvotne dišave čez dan. Je tudi boljša opcija za vse tiste, ki so vam parfumi premočni.
Losijon za telo ima enako belo plastično embalažo s sivimi dizajni cvetov vijolic. V njem je 150 ml izdelka in redna cena je 6€.
Losijon je lahka bela krema. Nanaša se z lahkoto in koži doda rahel sloj navlaženosti, čeprav ga sama ne bi uporabljala namesto negovalnega izdelka. Je bolj kot ne dodaten sloj dišave za na kožo. Z njim boste še dodatno podaljšale obstojnost dišave. Izdelek je odličen za toplejše dneve, ko pokažemo več kože. Ima občutno lahkotnejšo sestavo dišave, čeprav koži še vedno doda dovolj vonja.
Vedno poudarjam, da nisem nadušena nad cvetličnimi vonji, ampak očitno me je en definitivno navdušil. Avon Life je čudovita kombinacija svežih nežnih cvetličnih not v kombinaciji s toplim mošusom. Kombinacija deluje izredno sofisticirano in odraslo. Dišavo uporabljam ob priložnostih, ki iz mene privabljajo eleganco. Je precej močan vonj glede obstojnosti, a dokaj romantičen v sami svoji sestavi not. Za ceno se zagotovo z lahkoto kosa z dražjimi znamkami parfumov. Sama nisem navdušena nad parfumiranim sprejem za telo ali losijonom za tole, ker jih ne uporabljam. Če pa želite, da bo vonj ostal na vas skozi cel dan, boste to z lahkoto dosegle s slojenjem vseh treh izdelkov.
Pri Avonu lahko kupite celoten set, ali pa vsak izdelek posebej.

Review: Avon Dreams Eau de Parfum
3 Mar 2016
Hey Beauties!
I've had some great fragrance suggestions lately and today I have another one for you. This one is for all of you romantic sophisticated souls. It's Avon's new fragrance called Dreams and needles to say that it does smell like a dream while you're wearing it.
It comes in a pastel pink box with darker pink ribbons over it. Those are actually 3D printed on the box. Design is simplistic and romantic.
The glass bottle is very classic. On the bottom it is cut in a way that it almost looks like crystals or ice. The top also has the same design and reminds me of diamonds. On the bottom of the top is like a blurred part which is shaped like a ribbon. I would say it's a nice mix of something classic, but with a few eye catching details on the bottom and top.
Spray is gold and it produces fine mist.
In the bottle you get 50 ml of fragrance and it currently costs 19.90€ (Slovenia), although regular price is 26€. You can get Avon products from Avon sales people or just contact Avon team in your country.
It's described as a floral fragrance (but I would almost say floral woody) and it has notes of watery plum, pink rose and intense wood.
The first this that I smell, when I spray it on my skin, is flowers or rather rose. Right after a few second it stats to get a more subtly sweet fruit scent of watery plum. The rose and plum create this very subtle romantic light scent that is more on the sweet side rather then being very floral. As the fragrance develops further, I get a bit stronger wood base, which gives this fragrance sophistication and long lasting power.
I thought that this was going to be more floral, considering the description, but in fact it's very subtly romantic and it has a bit of sweetness to it, while the wood makes it more grounded and a lot more sophisticated smelling. I am not a fan of floral fragrances and I think this is a nice blend of fruitiness, slight sweetness, wood and a hint of flowers. Nothing is overpowering and the blend of all these together creates a very romantic and sophisticated fragrance.
The staying power is very good. I can still smell it at the end of the day, although it does loose some intensity, naturally. It's eau de parfum so you get what you expect.
What more can I say, except the fact that Avon did it again. I really think their fragrances are amazing and the fact that they come out with so many new scents is commendable. I've been wearing it this past month all the time. It feels a bit like a pamper product.
*Product was sent to me by Avon.
V prejšnjih objavah sem vam ponudila že kar nekaj prelogov o novih parfumih in danes imam spet nov predlog za nakup. Gre za novo Avon dišavo, ki so jo poimenovali Dreams (sanje) in mislim, da mi ni potrebno omeniti, da je res zasanjan vonj.
Pride skupaj s pastelno roza škatlico z roza traki, ki so odstisnjeni na škatlo kot 3D dizajn. Dizajn je na sploh preprost in romantičen.
Steklenička je prav tako dokaj klasične oblike. Na dnu je izrezljana v obliko, ki me spominja na kristale ali led. Pokrov je istega dizajna in spominja na diamante. Na dnu pokrovčka je zamegljen detajl, ki izgleda kot trak ovit okrog pokrova. Zdi se mi zanimiva kombinacija klasike z določenimi detajli, ki pritegnejo pogled.
Spraj je zlat in omogoča lahko meglico parfumske vode.
V steklenički je 50 ml dišave in trenutno stane 19.90€. Redna cena je 26€.
Dišavo opisujejo kot cvetlično (ampak jaz bi skoraj rekla, da je bolj cvetlično lesna) in vsebuje note vodne slive, rožnate vrtnice in intenzivnega lesa.
Prvo kar zavoham, ko pošpricam parfum na kožo, so rože oziroma vrtnica. Takoj po nekaj sekundah postane bolj nežen sladko saden vonj vodne slive. Kombinacija vrtnice in slive ustvari zelo nežno romantičen vonj, ki je bolj sladek kot pa cvetličen. Ko se dišava razvije naprej, se začne čutiti malo bolj močna baza lesa, ki dišavi daje sofisticiranost in dolgo obstojno moč.
Imela sem občutek, da bo to bolj cvetličen vonj glede na opis, ampak je precej nežno subtilen romantičen in ima malo sladkobe, prav tako pa lesnosti, ki jo ozemlji in naredi bolj sofisticirano. Nisem ljubiteljica cvetličnih vonjev in zato se mi zdi ta kombinacija nežne sadnosti, rahle sladkobe, lesa in čisto malo cvetličnosti ravno pravšnja. Nič ne izstopa ali nadvladuje in skupaj ustvarijo te note romantično in sofisticirano dišavo.
Je zelo obstojna. Tudi ob koncu dneva jo še vedno voham na sebi. Seveda s časom izgubi na intenzivnosti, kar je pričakovano. Je parfumska voda in zanjo dobite kar pričakujete.
Ne vem kaj več bi lahko še povedala. Avon je spet ustvaril čudovito dišavo. Njihove dišave so mi na sploh zelo všeč in dejstvo, da večkrat letno izdajo nove vonje je pohvale vredno. To dišavo sem nosila cel prejšnji mesec. Parfum imam za izdelek za razvajanje, saj ima tak blagodejen vonj.

Review: Avon Mesmerize and Avon Mesmerize Black Eau de Toilette
17 Feb 2016
Hey Beauties!
I love woody oriental and sweet scents and today I have two of such to tell you about. Avon Mesmerize Black has been in Avon range for a while now, but Avon Mesmerize is a new fruitier addition. I am surely mesmerized by both of these.
Both of these scents have pretty much the same packaging, just the color scheme is different. They come in box in black or blue with a gold writing and decorative curvy design. It looks oriental to me.
The glass bottles look really nice with the gold design and the top is metal gold. I like that these bottle are thinner and smaller than I expected. I like to throw these in the bag to carry with me, because they're not huge or super intricately designed like most other perfumes.
Spray works great and produces a fine mist.
Regular price of each is 26€, but Avon always has discounts. Currently you can get them for only 17.90€ (Slovenia). In each is 50 ml of product. You can buy Avon products through Avon sellers or find official Avon page in your country.
Avon Mesmerize Black
Mesmerize Black is floral oriental woody fragrance. It has notes of mandarin, jasmine and Australian sandalwood.
First punch serves you with a very warm oriental woody scent. Mandarin is the only note that gives it a tad of freshness, but it really is a very strong and oriental scent. Later it becomes more of a lighter version, because of jasmine and in the end I really notice sandalwood as the note that stay on the skin for the longest time.
It's one of those exotic strong scents, which would be more suited for evening. I really like stronger scents and sandalwood is one of my favorite base notes.
Avon Mesmerize
Mesmerize is one of the newest scents by Avon and it's described as oriental floral fruity fragrance. It has notes of white peach, pink peony and sandalwood.
On the contrary to stronger Black scent, this one is a bit more subtle, a lot sweeter and fruity, but still very oriental.
White peach is definitely the star of this scent. It's the first punch once you spritz it on skin and the sweetness of it lasts all through the day. Pink peony gives it a slight hint of floral, but not for a long time. At the end it's all about the sweetness and sandalwood. It's not as strong as Black, but a bit more subtle although it still kicks a nice strong base.
I really like how a very sweet fruity scent is mixed with woody notes. It's an interesting combination, especially for those who like stronger scents, but also very sweet with bases like musk, sandawood, amber and top it off with fruits.
Both of these are Eau de Toilettes, which would mean that they're not as long lasting as Eau de Parfum. This is correct for Mesmerize Black, which actually fades away fairly quickly, but starts off a lot stronger than Mesmerize. I can't say the actual hours, but I'd say I almost can't smell it anymore after 5 hours. Whereas Mesmerize is a lot more long lasting. So much that I wouldn't call it toilette anymore. I can still smell it at the end of the day, so this is what, after 12 hours. I especially notice that it's still there, because I work out in the evening and the scent gets even stronger with me sweating. But keep in mind it's less powerful than Black in terms of the scent itself.
I adore both of these scents. In general, I love oriental, woody and sweet fragrances, so both of these are right up my alley. I like to wear Mesmerize Black for when I'm feeling a bit more edgy and I go for Mesmerize when I want that romantic dose of sweetness. Those scents are definitely not for those who like fresh, citrus or subtle floral fragrances. It's basically the opposite of those.
*Products were sent to me by Avon.
Obožujem lesne orientalske in sladke vonje in danes imam za vas dva taka. Avon Mesmerize Black je bil med Avonovim naborom že kar nekaj časa. Pred kratkim so mu dodali še sadno verzijo imenovano Avon Mesmerize. Vsekakor sem navdušena nad obema.
Oba vonja imata praktično enako embalažo samo barvna shema je drugačna. Prideta v škatli z črno ali modro podlago in zlatim napisom. Ob straneh je dekorativen zlat vijugast dizajn, ki meni deluje precej orientalsko.
Steklenički izgledata zelo lepo z zlatim dizajnom in zlatim kovinskim pokrovom. Všeč mi je, da sta steklenički tanki in precej majhni. Bolj kot sem pričakovala, da bosta. Ta parfuma rada vržem v torbico za na pot, ker sta dovolj majhna in nimata preveč izumetričnih oblik, kot večina embalaž drugih parfumov.
Sprej deluje dobro in dozira fino meglico.
Redna cena teh je 26€, ampak Avon ima vedno kakšna znižanja. Trenutno ju lahko dobite za samo 17.90€. V vsakem je 50 ml izdelka. Izdelke lahko kupite preko Avon posrednikov ali se obrnete na Avon Slovenija.
Avon Mesmerize Black
Mesmerize Black je cvetlično orientalsko lesna dišava. Vsebuje note mandarine, jasmina in avstralske sandalovine.
Prvi vonj, ki ga začutite je topel orientalsko lesni vonj. Mandarina je edina, ki dodaje tej dišavi svežino, ampak v resnici je vonj bolj orientalski. Kasneje postane nekoliko lažji, zaradi jasmina in na koncu zelo prevladuje sandalovina, ki najdlje ostane na koži.
Je en teh eksotičnih močnih vonjev, ki bi bil bolj primeren za večere. Meni so zelo všeč močni vonji in sandalovina je ena mojih najljubših podlag v parfumih.
Avon Mesmerize
Mesmerize je ena Avonovih novejših dišav in opisana je kot orientalsko cvetlično sadna dišava. Vsebuje note bele breskve, roza potonike in sandalovine.
Nasportno od Black vonja, je ta veliko bolj nežen, bolj sladek in sadni, ampak še vedno s pridihom orientalskega vzdušja.
Bela breskev je zvezda te dišava. Je prav stvar, ki jo vohamo ob nanosu in dišavi dodaja sladkobo skozi ves dan. Roza potonika doda rahel cvetlični pridih, ki pa ne traja dolgo. Na koncu je najbolj čutiti sladkobo bele breskve in sandalovino. Ni tako močna dišava kot Black, ampak nekoliko bolj subtilna verzija, čeprav je njena baza še vedno kar močna.
Zelo mi je všeč kako je kombiniran sadno sladki vonj z lesnimi notami. Zanimiva kombinacija, še posebej za tiste, ki imajo radi močne a tudi sladke vonje z podlagami kot so mošus, jantar in sandalovina, ki jih povrhu krasi sadje.
Oba vonja sta toaletni vodici kar pomeni, da naj ne bi bila tako dolgo obstojna kot parfumske vode. To drži za Mesmerize Black, ki skozi dan izpuhti kar hitro, čeprav se začne veliko bolj močno kot Mesmerize. Ne morem govoriti o dejanskih urah, ampak recimo, da ga po petih urah več ne voham. Kar pa ne drži za Mesmerize, ki je zelo dolgo obstojen. Tako zelo, da si ne bi mislila, da gre za toaletno vodo. Ob koncu dneva po 12 urah ga lahko še vedno voham na svoji koži. To še posebej opazim, ker telovadim zvečer, ko začne parfum še bolj dišati zaradi mojega potenja. Ampak ne pozabite, da je kot sam vonj velik bolj nežen in manj močan kot Black.
Obožujem oba vonja. Na splošno so mi zelo všeč orientalski, lesni in sladki parfumi, zato sta oba čisto po mojem okusu. Mesmerize Black nosim, ko se počutim bolj drzno in Mesmerize zagrabim, ko si želim nekaj te romantične sladkobe. Ti dišavi vsekakor nista za nekoga, ki ima rad lahko sveže citrusne vonje ali nežne cvetlične. Dišavi sta pravzaprav nasprotje tega.

Review: Aldo Vandini Pure Eau de Parfum (White Magnolia and Cotton)
8 Jun 2015
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: Avon Cherish Eau de Parfum
28 Feb 2015
Hey Beauties!
It's been a long time since I had new full bottle of perfume. Lately I've been loving buying cheap knock offs (Slovenians - Refan and such), that I didn't buy any full version perfumes. Avon sent me this one, which if I'm totally honest, I wouldn't chose for myself. But it turned out to be a surprising refreshment in my perfume collection.
Perfume comes with a white paper box. It costs 19.90€ and you get 50 ml of it. That's one thing about Avon perfumes that I love. You can get some really huge amounts for a really low price.
The glass bottle is very interesting. I think it reminds me of flower or flower petals - especially the top part. It has gold details and writing. Definitely nice bottle to decorate the top of your drawer. I do find that this top is more decorative then functional. I can't see myself carrying this bottle around, since the top doesn't covers spray and you might end up with perfume sprayed all over your purse. Not practical rather more decorative.
Perfume is called Cherish and it's a musky floral scent. If you know me, I love strong and sweet scents. I love musk, it's one of my favorite scents. However I am more of a fruity, woody person, not so much floral. That being said, the musk in this fragrance is really strong and predominant. In my opinion the two notes that I smell the most are musk and orange blossom. The last one does give it a bit of floral scent to it, but the musk makes it very strong and creamy.
Top notes: Pink Pepper, Cherry Blossom.
Middle notes: Tiare Flower, Jasmine Sambac.
Base notes: White Musk, Sandalwood.
When I first spray it on, the most dominant scent is cherry blossom. Right after a while it smells pretty floral and later it becomes more creamy musky. It's an interesting combination. I would categorize it among classic floral and musky scents. It's not too strong, not too floral and definitely not too sweet. Combination of all these together in a very sophisticated elegant mixture.
As far as longevity goes, I've had better. It's not extremely long lasting, although it starts off as very strong perfume. So be prepared to spray it a few times during the day, if you want the fragrance to stay fresh and strong.
It's definitely not my usual fragrance and I don't think I would like it, if it wouldn't be for those woody musky base notes, which are my favorite perfume bases. If you like more classic floral scents and want that smoldering sexy power of musk and woody notes, than this is definitely for you. Cherries will give this fragrance a pinch of sweetness, but definitely very subtle sweetness.
Review: Beckham Intimately Eau de Toilette
20 Apr 2014
Hey Beauties!
How was your Easter? If you follow me on Instagram, I posted a big basket that I got and it was full of chocolates. I think that this has become the main purpose of Easter for me.. new stash of chocolates - oh yeah! :)) I have also been hitting the gym, or fitness rather, and this Easter thingy is killing my routine of avoiding chocolate. I have a big weakness for chocolate, well actually anything sweet, to be completely honest. Enough said. Today's review is of Beckham perfume, which I actually got as a gift.
It's a 15 ml Eau de toilette. The bottle is so cute, because it's so small. I love the engraved Beckham sign at the top of the bottle. Classy in my opinion. I wish I would have a sign like that. It comes in a pink box. I don't know the price, but my guess is around 15 €.
The perfume is slightly pink colored. Even though it is a toilette, it's pretty strong in my opinion and it lasts a long time on me. The smell to me is very floral and somewhat classy. It's not overbearing sweet, but just enough. Since I am bad at explaining the smells, let's see the notes.
Top notes: Bergamot, White Flowers, Rose.
Middle notes: Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Casablanca Lily.
Base notes: Vanilla, Musk, Sandalwood.
It's not my typical smell, because I do love very sweet perfumes. I think I like this one, because it's a lot more sophisticated smell. It starts very floral, but then after a while it gets my kind of sweet smell. The base notes are very typically sweet my-kind-of notes :). I wouldn't normally notice Beckham perfume, because it's not my kind of style, but I got this perfume as a gift and was surprised by how much I liked it. Ever since I got it, I use it every day. Now I'm afraid that I'll run out of it and miss it :).
Did you try any of the Beckham perfumes and how do you like them?
