This cute little thing I got in my advent calendar last year.
You know me I love fragrances, so to get one in an advent calendar was a right treat.
To see what else was in my advent calendar see this
blog post.
This scent is The Body Shop's Italian Summer Fig eau de toilette.
I know that The Body Shop do have a full range on products in this scent, so if you really like it you can go crazy and bathe yourself in them all!
This scent is definitely one best kept for summer, as it is a very fresh scent. I also feel like it is a very wearable fragrance feeling very appropriate for both daytime & nighttime.
I do feel like this scent isn't for the younger of my audience though, it is definitely a 20 years+ scent in my opinion. Obviously this is just my opinion, but when I was younger I didn't like floral & fresh fragrances. In fact, they still aren't my preferred type of fragrance, but I do find them a lot more wearable now I'm older.
So overall I would say this scent is nice, not a favourite, but still a very wearable and fresh fragrance.
Perfect for this time of year!

Who doesn't love smelling good?
Exactly!
So this leads me onto today's topic which is fragrance, in particular Armani's newest perfume.
I love Armani Diamonds the original fragrance & when I saw this fragrance come out I knew I was going to love it.
This is the Armani Diamonds Violet fragrance, named clearly because of it's colour.
The base notes of this fragrance are amber, vanilla & praline. The heart notes being rose, freesia & lily. Whilst the top notes are raspberry, lychee & passion fruit. This combination sounds like heaven to me! If you've been here for a while you'll instantly know that I love vanilla! Raspberry is also something I love.
This makes for a sweet yet floral fragrance, which just screams sophistication!
It is very similar to the original fragrance, just with that sweeter hint. Personally I love it & know it is going to become a staple fragrance for me!
If you haven't smelt this or the original I would definitely recommend doing so! They are such great fragrances, which are perfect for any age & person. They aren't the most potent of fragrances though, so more is certainly more with these. The packaging is so cool though, just take it out with you!

It's time for a little more fragrance loving, but this one's for the men.
(Or those who buy for their man.)
This has to be my favourite mens fragrance of life!
This is Bleu De Chanel by Chanel.
Granted this is a very luxury fragrance & the price really isn't for the faint hearted.
Starting at £47.50 for 50ml of eau de toilette, it's definitely one you need to love to buy.
For an eau de toilette though it is very strong & you don't need to use a lot. Generally I'd say you get what you pay for with fragrance & this Chanel is no different.
The notes of this fragrance are a bit complicated as it is meant to make you feel three different things throughout the experience of wearing & smelling it. Some of these include freshness, energy & confidence. Knowing the smell very well, I know exactly what Chanel are saying here.
The notes consist of citrus, vetiver, pink pepper, grapefruit, laudanum, frankincense, ginger & sandalwood.
Sound like Chanel went all out on this one!
Boy was it worth it though. It's an amazing scent which I just love!

Fragrances! I love them!
Hence this blog post!
This is Tommy Hilfiger Loud (hers). I picked this fragrance up a while ago and it was an absolute bargain at £8 for 40ml!
Primarily I got this fragrance just because it was such a great offer, however over the last year it has become my staple fragrance.
It's an eau de toilette, so it's not as potent as a perfume. However I still feel like this fragrance lasts for hours! Better than some of my proper perfumes!
The notes include rose & patchouli. When I say rose, I don't mean old lady rose scent if you know what I mean.
I find it to be quite a light day to night fragrance. It's not too heavy for the daytime but it also isn't so light and casual that it's not enough for the evening. I like to wear this fragrance when I'm working as I feel it's ideal for this sort of situation. It isn't too offensive but it still says I've made an effort with my fragrance.
I feel like this is quite an underrated fragrance!
I swear it reminds me of a Gucci fragrance too, so it could be a bit of a dupe.
You can pick it up at Debenhams for £27.50.
So if you're looking for a nice daytime fragrance I'd definitely recommend it!
