Flower by Kenzo



(You can be expecting a lot more fragrance reviews for the next little while, I've got a bunch lined up!)

I was immediately interested when I saw this bottle.- simple, yet\ eye-catching, I thought it was really cool.
Flower by Kenzo is a very interesting and layered scent, with many different and strong base, top, and middle notes. (If you aren't sure what those are, read here.)

When I initially smelled this for the first time, my impression was pretty much this:
"WHOAWOW WOW WOW THIS IS SOME STRONG STUFF!"
That impression still stands. Despite being quite heavy and lasts a long time, it is a clean scent, in a way. (A very strange way.)
You can definitely smell the flowers that were added to it, along with some other, more musky scents.

I couldn't detect this at first, but upon just smelling it, it does smell somewhat like old lady perfume. Which is a MAJOR NO-NO.
Aside from that, it kind of reminds me of the Titanic...and Africa. That sounds pretty strange, I know. I say it smells like the Titanic because it smells like what I would have imagined a lot of those women wore at that time. Just that time period. And Africa? It reminds me of Africa because it reminds me of freedom and power, but in a restricting way.

I truly believe that this is one of those products that are big for a little while, then deemed "unwanted" after that obsession is over. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone that wants a fragrance just for day-to-day activities. I wouldn't wear this unless I was at something really, really, super-duper-mega fancy. (And maybe not even then.)


So, overall rating time!

Aeropostale~ Promise Me

I find it very sad that most promising-looking fragrances smell like overloaded hand-sanitizer. That eye-watering, weird scent that smells so strong you can't stand it.

I hoped this would be different. The description online is "vanilla and summer breeze." Uh, no. To me, it smells like overloaded hand sanitizer. (And not the good kind like Emilie's Top 10)
Maybe I just have a weird schnoz, but this isn't one that I would buy. It's also very expensive for the small bottle.

Overall ratings:
Smell: • (1 star)
Look: ••• (3 stars)
Price: $$-$$$

Review: Sweet Pea Fragrance Mist (Bath & Body Works)



I got this fragrance mist as a gift from someone and decided to do a review on it. Well I personally like sweet pea and I think it's a great scent. Sometimes it can be too sweet for me especially in their fragrance mist. I don't really use this that often since it's very strong and not the best for school.

I hope you guys enjoyed this review. Have a product you think I should try? Leave a comment below. <3
