The Body Shop Honeymania EDT

30ml (1.0 US FL OZ)

idr. 189,000

Limited Edition

Core Collection from Body Shop <3 font="">

 

If you're familiar with EDT from The Body Shop, it's exactly in the same size.

The glass bottle slightly tinted with golden honey shade and the sprayer tinted gold.

I am a fan of honey scented product and i was waiting so long since i found out that Honeymania range launched in UK. I know many people has said that it doesn't smell like honey at all but i can't stop my self from purchasing it.

According to Fragrantica, it's only has 2 notes : wildflower and honey.

The scent is very floral, less honey and not really sweet.

In my opinion, the floral notes blends so well with honey, creating a very fresh and *ehm* mature scent. If you have Marc Jacob's Honey, it's really different compared to it. Honey from Marc Jacobs is way too fruity.. Doesn't really gives me the Honey-ed feeling like The Body Shop does, even it's floraly.

Sadly, it doesn't last long on me.. I just got about 2-3 hours. Well in my opinion, most fragrance from the Body Shop doesn't last long, but Honeymania last shorter.

But don't worry, once you paired it with body butter from the same range, it definately got better.

However, i like it and planned to stock up since it's a limited edition and the body shop has special discount for exchange 20 point from your Love Your Body member card.

Go get now but make sure to leave me some :))

Fragrance Review : Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey Florale

I am lately realized that i adoring Rose notes in fragrance. I don't really like rose as flower, but in notes, it's different story.

There's so many fragrance that took rose as their notes. Why do i chose issey miyake's? L'eau D'Issey Florale for me is soft, barely there fragrance, modern, feminine yet elegant. And surprisingly it last kinda long. Six hours for soft fragrance? Great.

Sorry for the crumpled background. I am lately notice it.

L'eau D'Issey florale comes in Issey Miyake's signature bottle.

Mine is in 10ml bottle, miniature in exactly same packaging as the full sized one.

I like the shape, the color (it's pink!) and it has spray.

I like to carry it in my daily bag.

Cap part is made from thin metal, adding sophisticated touch to the whole appearance.

The notes inside are simple. They're rose (absolutely), red mandarin, lily and woodsy notes. Not too complex, and they're well blended. You're hardly tell what notes taking part at the time, but still, rose are pretty easy to detect.

I would recommend L'eau D'Issey florale for daily use, when you're need an appropriate fragrance that stay long and makes you feel fresh, feminine and happy! :D

Bath and Body Works : Fragrance Mist Warm Vanilla Sugar

hi everyone!
since i am really-really want to buy a mist with vanilla fragrance, i bought BBW's Warm Vanilla Sugar. May reviews said it has a nice scent, with a scent like burned sugar. I was so excited, how's the smell of burned sugar?

When it arrived to my place, i was soo confused because it doesn't even have a "Bath and Body Works" label on it. Only labelled with 'warm vanilla sugar' in front of product and nothing else. But my friend said that it's okay, so i open it and smell the scent.


Claimed by BBW (here), Warm Vanilla Sugar fragrance contains of :

• Fragrance Top Notes: Sheer Florals, Vanilla Absolute
• Fragrance Mid Notes: Basmati Rice, Coconut, Vanilla Absolute
• Fragrance Base Notes: Vanilla Absolute, Heliotrope, Musk, Veltol, Sandalwood

Too bad, i dont know how's basmati rice's scent, Heliotrope's scent and veltol's scent. The second well~~ and where's the sugar? they dont even put it anywhere! maybe the sugar scent come from mixing the scent of another things? i dont know ..

With my unexpert power of descripting scent, i will say that it has a sweet vanilla scent with a bitter in the end. Maybe the bitter scent is the one reviewed smell like a burned sugar. I dont even smell the sheer floral scent, maybe it's too sheer? i do smell a  sheer coconut smell, in the start of bitter smell. But i dont know about anything else. >.<"

Basically, i like the way it smell, but i prefer my body shop's lychee blossom edt (i will review it later) to use in speacial ocassion. This one is good for everyday use.

I usually use it in my hand circle (only left hand) and behind my ears, 1 spray each. It stay long, sometimes disturbing me while i am in a small room or in car, it made me loss my willingness to eat :( Maybe i should reduce it for only 1 spray in my hand circle only.

But it scents really-really match with my vaseline Cocoa Glow, they're seems like made for each other, lol ,,
