Katy Perry 'Killer Queen' Perfume | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

I recently went on a little shopping trip to check out the January sales and came across the bargain of all bargains in Boots that I just couldn't resist, a 50ml bottle of Katy Perry's latest perfume release 'Killer Queen' for just £12.99 instead of £26.09! I just had to buy it at that price, plus I'd had numerous samples in beauty boxes and loved the scent so it just had to come home with me ha ha.

Firstly the packaging is pretty amazing, it's inspired by a Queens scepter and has a distinct jewel shaped weighty glass bottle with a rich gold crown shaped cap which has 'Katy Perry Killer Queen' embossed either side. As much as I love the bottle is can be a pain to store, because of its jewel shape it doesn't free stand, however it does still look pretty eye catching laying down on my dressing table!

As for Killer Queens scent... Its certainly a gorgeous scent for Autumn/Winter time wear, as its warm, slightly spicy and strong. As I'm terrible at detected the correct scents I have added Killer Queens fragrant notes....

'Top Notes: Dark Plum, Wild Berry and Bergamot.'
'Heart Notes: Red Velvet Flower, Rainbow Plumeria and Natural Jasmine Sambac.'
'Base Notes: Cashmeran, Natural Patchouli Heart and Liquid Praline.'

As for how Killer Queen drys down and lasts... I found that the fragrence lasted on me a good amount of the day, the scent really does linger and isn't too overpowering at all considering that I found it to be quite a strong perfume. 

Overall I love Katy Perry's 3rd instalment in her perfume range, it looks nice in the bottle, it smells gorgeous and wears lovely, it's also affordable with the 30ml bottle RRP £22.99 and 50ml  bottle RRP £26.09, you can also grab it on offer like I did every now and then which can be a right bonus.


Have you tried any of Katy Perry's perfumes before??? What did you think??? I'd love to know girlie's.

Giorgio Armani Si | Eau De Parfum | Review




Hey girlie's!!!

I've never done a perfume review on my blog before so I thought a great way to start would be to introduce you to Giorgio Armani Si*, I do love a good ole Giorgio Armani perfume. Si is Giorgio Armani's latest perfume release which came out nationwide in August this year, it claims to be chic, modern and elegant and my goodness it lives up to those claims and smells lovely, it's definitely one to put on your Christmas list girlie's!!!

Firstly the perfume comes in a simple, yet elegant glass bottle with a gold trim around the neck and the base of the bottle. As for scent... To me Si has a rather strong passion fruit scent,  its definitely fruity, with a kick of vanilla. It really does remind me of a fruity version of Emporio Armani Diamonds which is my all time favourite perfume. As for how Si drys down and lasts... I certainly found that the longer you wear Si the nicer the fragrance gets which is slightly bizarre but great none the less ha ha, I could also smell Si on me all day and I got complimented a few times by customers at work about how nice I smelt as I walked past them, the scent really does linger and isn't too overpowering at all considering that I found it to be quite a strong perfume.

As I'm terrible at detected the correct scents I have added Si's fragrant notes....

Top Notes- Zesty citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin oil blend beautifully with the floral note of cassis nectar.

Heart Notes- Jasmine and rose provide a strong floral heart with a flash of citrus from neroli.

Base Notes- Vanilla, patchouli and woody notes provide a creamy and sensual base.

Overall I do really like Si, it looks nice in the bottle and very luxurious, it smells gorgeous and wears lovely, the only downside for me is the hefty price tag, with its smallest bottle of 30ml costing a whopping £37.40!!! To me Si is certainly something I'd have to buy as a special gift for a loved one, It's also a perfume that my mum would probably call her 'posh' perfume which will only come out on special occasion's ha ha. 

You can buy your Giorgio Armani Si Eau De Parfum on the Escentual website for £37.40 for 30ml, £53.55 for 50ml and £72.25 for 100ml, there are various gift sets available too.

Have you tried Giorgio Armani Si yet??? What did you think??? I'd love to know girlie's.
