Sniffn' Daisy

Ola Ladies!


Sorry for not blogging for such a long time, but I was just a bit busy packing for my California trip.


Anyways...


I know I'm a bit late with this magnificent perfume by Marc Jacobs, but I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. Maybe it's because of the beautiful packaging or maybe because of the light flowery smell of it.


Yes, I'm talking about the new perfume Daisy Eau So Fresh.


The scent is lighter than the original one and I'm a big fan of it. I didn't want to purchase a full size bottle of it just YET, so I asked for three samples and the kind SA agreed to it. Now, I have three samples to bring to Cali! Yay! for free samples and yay! for kind SA's


Maybe I'll buy it when I get back from my trip or get it there perhaps? :D 


Did you get a chance to sniff Daisy Eau So Fresh yet?


  What is your summer perfume at the moment? Mine is Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia mixed with Nectarine Blossom and Honey.


Have a nice weekend and enjoy the day!

Perfume Haul: DKNY & Jo Malone

Let me first rant about how SICK I'am. I have stuffy and runny nose AGAIN! Yes, that's right again. I just had cough and colds a week and a half ago and my colds are back. Is this because of the weather here in Canada? too cold and too dry? I sleep with a humidifier on. As of the moment I'm drinking lemon juice- one word: SOUR! I need another instant relief remedy for colds? I was browsing the web and found some homemade medicine to cure colds such as boiled ginger(eew), lemon juice(I'm drinking right now), boiled lady's fingers(eew) and inhaling Eucalyptus(I will do this later before bed). Do you guys have any suggestions? help a friend out.


I was chatting with some twitter friends and apparently so many people are sick these days. I know about 7 people who are victimized by colds and cough. To everyone who is sick I pray that we all find comfort and relief within this week. Amen.


Okay, enough! I shall share with you a small tiny teeny haul. I purchased two perfumes about a month ago and they are the DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom(Limited Edition bottle) and Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia perfume.


Let me just say that I have a perfume illness- I'm OBSESSED with them. I want to try every single one out there. I know this is bad, but I can't resist them. I prefer fruity feminine smell compared to flowery scents. I know most of you prefer flowery scents such as the Marc Jacobs Daisy. I wouldn't say that I hate flowery scents, but I'd rather choose fruity scented perfumes.



Note: I'am BAD at describing perfumes.


I'll start with the DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom- Looking at the name of this perfume "Fresh Blossom" I first thought that this would be the total opposite of what DKNY Be delicious perfume line, but it's not. When I trued this perfume out it reminded me of fresh grapefruits and apples with a tiny rose and jasmine scent. The perfect combination. I wouldn't wear this at night when I have a night out with some friends, but I would totally wear this perfume during the day.
The packaging is to die for!


Next up, Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia- This the newest perfume from Jo Malone and I feel in love with it the first time I tried it on. I know the most popular perfume from Jo Malone is the Nectarine Blossom and Honey. I own that one too, but when you mis them up together, you will smell like a goddess. I love it when people look back at you when you pass by. I do not know why, but I love the feeling because that means that I smell really good, or maybe I smell really bad. I had tons of cmpliments by people I do not know that I smell really good anf fresh. I will definitely recommend buying Jo Malone because the scent lasts all day. I can even smell it the next day after I take a shower- which is a good sign of a good and worth it perfume.

I love the box packaging, not a fan of the bottle, but who cares as long as it smells good.
What are your go-to perfumes? Do you have a specific perfume for summer/spring and winter/fall?

Happy Thursday

Perfumes I Want To Try


To all my American readers/followers..how's your Thanksgiving dinner? I hope it all went well. Time to go for some serious shopping. Good luck with that and hope you guys have fun.

so,back with what this post is all about...

I have a slight obsession with perfumes, but the thing is.. I want to have a signature smell. I'm currently using Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy and I love it, but it's about to be dunzo, so I'm on a hunt for a new perfume.

Sometimes when I go shopping, I just go to the fragrance department and stay there for an hour and smell perfumes(same thing when I'm in Sephora).

I love sweet/fruity scents, but I don't really mind if it has a tinge of floral smell to it. Oh and I love perfumes that smells like you just got out of the shower(that's why I love Fresh perfumes so much!). I'm a sucker for nice packaging too.

Here are some perfumes I tried before:

- Michael Kors' Daisy(sample size)- To floral for me, wasn't in to it that much
- Chanel Madamoiselle(full size)- I love this! It is a classic perfume and can't go wrong with this.
- Escada Moon Sparkle(sample size)- Has a fruity/floral fragrance with a hint of strawberry and apple. Smells good, but you just need the tiniest amount.
- Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue(full size)- classic perfume. I think most of you tried this already. Reminds me of High School days.
- Vera Wang Princess(sample size)- smells light and young and has a musky tinge to it. I didn't really like this.

* I would recommend Chanel Madamoiselle and Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue.

so, those are the perfumes I tried and I'm ready to search for the best one in the market and make it my signature smell.

help me if you tried one of these perfumes before. If you have some recommendations, please, feel free to comment below. :)
