I got this because the farmers reward voucher I had was burning a hole in my pocket. And having just earned another voucher I decided to treat myself to it. The perfume itself comes in three sizes 30ml, 50ml and 100ml all with their varying price tags, I got the 30ml simply because I have so many perfumes at present and I couldn't say no to one more.
The bottle is rectangular when face on but looking top down is a long rectangle with 1/2 rounds at each end. It fits in the hand easily for spraying. The contents of this glass bottle are like a pale coral pink/orange so you can easily see how much is left in the bottle. There is no lid to be removed on this the sprayer is built into the top, it is unmovable so you don't have to look at where the sprayer is before using. It has plastic looped out on each side that is supposed to look like a ribbon, while this does look pretty in the pictures, in real life the more I look at it the cheaper it starts to feel in my mind anyway.
The first time I used it was the tester sprayed on by the assistant at farmers about 3.30 in the afternoon, I was still smelling the test spray at 10pm that night and again at 1am when I checked. The opening notes on spraying came out with a light fruity more floral scent this finished after about 20-30 minutes and then into the heart of the scent which is very floral. Nine hours later I am still smelling the florals of the scent. This little baby has stay power on 2 sprays. This stay power has repeated with every other time I have used it. Pricey? yes at $112 for a 30ml bottle, double point days and vouchers are the best way to save up or buy this. The stay power makes it more economical.
I started writing this review the day I got this perfume which is why I could put in the times that I checked it and had it sprayed.
I got a mini bottle of this in a collectible set of modern muse minis and this is probably my favourite one out of the three. Its bottle is gorgeous and I love the combination of gold and red on the lid with the blush pink perfume.
This is a very warm and sweet perfume perfect for this chilly weather right now. Its scent slightly reminds me of Vera Wang's princess night in terms of the warmth and fullness. When I wear it I smell vanilla, some sort of berry/fruit and strangely a hint of mint. I think the mint really makes it pop and adds a bit of freshness right at the end. After a few hours it seems to get a bit more flowery. The staying power is great and lasts easily for a whole day.
I looked into getting a bigger bottle but the price is a little off putting. It's even more expensive than the likes of Marc jacobs and juicy couture. Maybe I'll buy it as a treat?
