SEPHORA HAUL: 10/25/13


Went out to Sephora with the intention of buying a Red Lipstick but ended up deciding to try out a drugstore brand first and getting the following items instead:

(from left to right)

*Notes: Jasmine, Wood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean
*Style: Feminine. Bold. Lovely.

*Notes: Neroli, Raspberry, Green Mandarin, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Guimauve, Vanilla, Heliotrope, Sandalwood
*Style: Seductive. Beautiful. Sensuous. 


I am a BIG SUCKER for luxe packaging and I love both YSL and Dolce & Gabbana packaging. But I have to say that I am LOVING the Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme. It will definitely will become a staple in my perfume collection. I'm not sure if the picture does the packaging justice but it is very soft velvet. I love the color way of it as well: powerful and seductive. Amazing!

Lots of Love,

MY PERFUME COLLECTION

I'll never forget the day when I realized how essential perfume/cologne was. I was going to the mall and the guy in front of me just smelled DIVINE. I loved the smell so much I stop to ask him what cologne he was wearing. It was YSL L'Homme. It may be odd to say but right then and there I concluded: All Men should smell like this

According to Sephora.com
" ...a man with style and sensuality, this fresh, woody fragrance is effervescent with bright, sparking notes of bergamot, ginger, and vetiver. "
Notes: Bergamot, Cedar, Ozonic Notes, White Ginger, Basil Flower, White Pepper, Violet Leaves, Cedarwood, Haiti Vetiver, Tonka Bean. " 
Style: Magnetic. Sensual. Intriguing. "

I spent a couple of days debating and smelling almost all the perfume that Sephora had to offer and purchased my first perfume: Miss Dior Cherie  by Christian Dior
According to Sephora.com
"  ...inspired by love and romance..."
Notes: Italian Mandarin Essence, Egyptian Jasmine Absolute, Indonesian Patchouli Essence. 
Style: Pure. Precious. Elegant. "

My Second Perfume: Flowerbomb by Vicktor & Rolf
" ...giving you the impression of living life in your own secret garden, away from reality..." 
Notes: Sambac Jasmine, Centifolia Rose, Cattleya Orchid, Ballerina Freesia, Patchouli"
Style: Oriental. Gourmand. Floral.  "

My Third Perfume: L.I.L.Y by Stella McCartney
"...vivid and sensual..." 
Notes: Black Truffles, Black Pepper, Lily of the Valley, Pink Pepper, White Musk, Oak Moss, Patchouli
Style: Green. Floral. Chypre. " 


As Christian Dior said "A Woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting."

According to a study by Dr. Alan Hirsh, men are seduced by certain scents. Cosmopolitan-Scents that Seduce. In other articles, Hirsh states that delicious scents such as pumpkin pie, attracts men the most. Who knew? :)


Lots of Love,
