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.

The Fragrance Shop Discovery Box | 4th Edition | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

Today I'm back with something abit different, a gorgeous smelling fragrance box!!!! 

Some of you may or may not know that The Fragrance Shop have their very own fragrance box called 'The Discovery Club', it's very much like a beauty box but with high end perfume samples inside. The box costs just £5.00 per quarter, with a yearly subscription costing just £25.00, what a bargain!!!

Each 'Discovery Club Box' contains six perfume sample vials and a snazzy booklet with £60.00 worth of perfume vouchers inside, each voucher giving you £10 off each perfume sample you received in your box, brilliant!!!

Usually a perfume sample box is something I wouldn't even go for, but at this time of year it's certainly great to have. With Christmas fast approaching this box is a great way to smell and sample perfumes that could be potential prezzies for your family and friends, I don't know about you, but sometimes it can be abit awkward in shops asking to smell alot of fragrance's so this box helps you sample some scents in the comfort of your own home, plus you have the extra vouchers to help you save the pennies too!!!
