Prada Candy Florale Perfume | Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

With Summer on the way it's definitely time to refresh your perfume caddie, out with the deep, woody scents and in with the more fresh, floral scents and today I have one very amazing scent to share with you that's perfect for the warmer months ahead... Say hello to Prada Candy Florale*!

Prada Candy Florale is the third instalment in the Candy range,  firstly they launched Candy in 2011, which is said to have been an instant hit with it's super sweet, youthful and flirty scent. Then in 2013, the Italian-line followed it up with Candy L’Eau, which is described to be a less sweet, more musky offering. Then this year on April 8th Prada presented us with their third Candy perfume, named Candy Florale, which is the ultimate spring/summer scent.

Prada Candy Florale is inspired by an imaginary flower that smells like candy or a bouquet of flowers standing on the counter of an ice cream shop in Italy, so basically think of a light peony floral scent with a touch of sweetness and that your scent right there. The fragrance is all about pretty flower Peony, but has a top note of yummy Limoncello, making it sparkling fresh. At the heart of the fragrance is a majestic bouquet of fresh peonies, with the base of musk, benzoin and caramel, mmm it's such a fresh, floral scent with that hint of sweetness!

I have to admit I think Prada Candy Florale is one of the nicest perfumes I have EVER tried, just because everything about it is just spot on for me. When you first spritz Candy Florale you aren't met with a strong overpowering scent that needs time to dry down, instead you are met with a gorgeous, light scent that sits on the skin (or your clothes, as I go mad and spritz all over sometimes ha ha) exactly how it comes out of the bottle, and I really like that about a perfume. The lasting power of Candy Florale is amazing, I do about 3 spritz' (wrists, neck and or course one more for luck on my clothes ha ha) and I can honestly smell the perfume on me all day, and even when I get into bed that evening I can still smell it, it's also very much a complimentary perfume where alot of people can smell it on me and they seem to love it and ask what I'm wearing, which again is always nice. It's also a scent that I would describe as an all rounder, so it's not to young nore too mature and would be suitable for day and nighttime wear.

And then there is the packaging and the bottle... I mean it just looks stunning doesn't it! The bottle and box are the standard signature design for Prada, but this time around the box is coloured a soft, dusky shade of pink and decorated with flower motifs. The bottle is just as beautiful as the box, it has a heavy, pink toned glass design, with Prada gold lettering at the top and comes complete with a unique, rounded dispenser. It's definetly one luxurious looking perfume!

Overall I absolutely love every single little thing about this perfume and I personally couldn't fault it at all, it's perfect for Spring/Summer wear, it's not strong or overpowering, it wears beautifully and doesn't need drying down time, the bottle looks beautiful, luxurious and very expensive and most importantly it smells incredible.

You can pick up your very own bottle of Prada Candy Florale from the Fragrance Direct website and is available in 30ml for £33.50, 50ml for £46.50 and 80ml for £62.99.

Have you smelt this perfume beaut's?? What did you think?? I'd love to know.

Spring Fragrance | Lacoste Sensuelle

Hey girlie's!!!

As Spring/Summer is finally on it's way, woohoo, it's time to switch things up in the fragrance department and indulge in more refreshing spring time scents, so say hello to the gorgeous Eau de Lacoste Sensuelle*.

Lacoste's new fragrance Sensuelle has been especially created for those gorgeous, sunny spring days and cool, refreshing evenings and was inspired by the original Eau de Lacoste fragrance. I'd describe Lacoste's Sensuelle as a sulty, chic fragrance for woman which is refreshing yet slightly deep at the same time, so if you like the deeper, more musky scents with a refreshing spring time twist then this will definitely be the fragrance for you. 

Lacoste Sensuelle fragrant notes are...

Top notes: Blackcurrant, Fig, Pink Pepper

Heart notes: Turkish Rose, Gladiolus Inflexus, Sweet Pea

Base notes: Nougatine Accord, Patchouli, Amber

Taking into account Sensuelle's fragrant notes I think it's the perfect spring scent, it's such a beautiful combination that make Sensuelle so fresh, fruity and floral... Ohh I just love it! The wear time of Sensuelle is really good, the scent lingers all day and you often get little bursts of the scent which is lovely. Sensuelle tends to be at it's deepest when it's first spritzed, you can definitely tell the fragrance opens up with Pink Pepper and Blackcurrant, it then dries down to a more soft, sultry scent and isn't overpowering  in the slightest, It really is pleasant to wear and is a scent that can take you from day to night.

And lastly the beautiful bottle... Lacoste Sensuelle is housed in a deep midnight blue, rounded glass bottle that sits comfortably in your hand. I love the fact that the trademark Lacoste crocodile has been luxed up on the bottle and now has a rose gold colouring, the neck of the bottle also features a silky cotton thread, from which a metal charm hangs and is embossed with the Lacoste logo, I think it's such a nice touch.

Overall I do really like Lacoste new spring fragrance, it looks lovely in the bottle, it smells gorgeous and wears nicely too. Also with Mothers Day coming up on the 30th March, Sensuelle would make a lovely gift, especially if your Mum prefers slightly deeper scents that sweet scent.

Lacoste Sensuelle is a new launch to the UK this March and is available in 30ml £33.00, 50ml £45.00 and 90ml £61.00.
