Brooklyn by Bond No. 9

When I first saw this bottle I was quite impressed by the creativity. I really liked the artwork on there. It really did feel like it was Brooklyn by just looking at it. The shape of the bottle is also unique. Brooklyn opens with grapefruit over cardamon with a juniper chaser for a fresh lightly aquatic wood feel. This freshness covers a light leather/wood base for a pretty good imitation of the smell of new car leather. The leather is a very light iris gaiac wood leather similar to the leather in Dior Homme but covered with the ctrus woods. Really there is not enough leather in here to claim leather, but you have to give a label to the dry softness in the middle of the citrus green and woods. A very clean fresh woodsy scent for summer.

Marc Jacobs' Daisy

Hmm I love this one, I waiting till I could actually get it. I don't want to get it if I already have so much other perfumes on my dresser -_- I have enough. But Marc Jacobs perfume is.. well... MARC JACOBS! haha Do I need to say more? Marc Jacobs name is obviously classy and fashionable. I wish I was rich enough to actually afford his other stuff. haha Marc Jacobs's new Daisy fragrance is meant to be “happy and youthful”, and “more accessible than the signature range” and “sophisticated but not too serious”. In other words, it's meant to bring younger consumers into the Marc Jacobs fold. I'm way past the target age range (said to be 18-24), but I was taken by that bottle right off the bat. It is way cute. I was worried that it would be way less cute when I saw the plastic daisies in person, but nope, it is maybe even more way cute in real life.

Vera Wang Rock Princess

I was very interested to read an article about Vera Wang. I have always wanted to buy her fragrance, but it was never a sure deal. I just thought that her motives were very unique how she goes with different themes. I really like the style of the bottle, but what matters is the scent inside the bottle. I'm hearing things about this fragrance that it is vanilla like? Hmm, maybe I'm wrong. But I'm sure that her scents are very tasteful. Here is a little insight of what this article said, "She’d trade her tiara in for a new guitar, attend a concert instead of the prom. Introducing Rock Princess, the daring new fragrance from Vera Wang. The fragrance is a dark, fruity floral with sultry attitude and modern style. It is edgy, but seductively sweet. Vera Wang Rock Princess – the music, the spirit, the new fragrance!" I love Vera Wangs motive on it, and It should be quite interesting to what we will see in the future.

Finding the Right Men's Cologne

I always tried figuring out what men's cologne I would love the most. It was hard to figure out since I never really sniff men in general. haha But it took some time to find out what I liked the most. I am in love with Armani Cologne! haha It's a great cologne that men should wear basically all the time. When I first smelled it, it was infatuation! haha just kidding. haha Here's a little insight on the article that I found: "What mens cologne do you wear? Many men have a specific type of cologne that they loved to wear. Perhaps it is because the ladies in their lives love that cologne’s fragrance. Or, it could be that they enjoy the cologne. In any case, having cologne that is all about the man that you are is essential. Having one type of cologne that you wear can help to fill the memory with images of you. Did you know that the scent of something, including cologne will linger longer in our memories then a picture or image? What does your man bring to mind?"

Tips for Shopping for Perfume

I thought that this would be a very handy way of finding the right perfume for just about anyone. I found this article about how to find one that works for you. I thought that it would just be customers who basically tried on the perfume and that's about it. But I guess this article clarifies more than just that! haha Here's a little example of what this article wrote. Don't worry! I'll have the link at the bottom so you guys could read it! "You don't have to decide whether you like the perfume or not right after trying them out. The scent is always very strong when applied; it usually wears out after more than 10 minutes and then you can feel the real smell. This period of time is also needed for fragrance to react with your skin. Give yourself a little time to decide. If you're not sure what perfume you really want to have, it's ok to try several types and brands. However, you should avoid spraying more than three different perfumes at a time. If you try out too many scents they will confuse your smell and you won't be able to recognize the difference between them."

Perfumania

I see this store literally everywhere, but I have not stepped into it at least once in my life. I feel like this is for christmas gifts or something. I mean for me, I usually buy my fragrances at department stores like Macy's or Nordstrom. Perfumania has been out and about though, I look on their website, and they have a lot of great designer perfumes that are actually cheaper than thir leading competition (department stores) This is a great store, I thought it was nothing but cheap "not" well known perfumes. It's actually quite the opposite. They sure fooled me! (= Not only do they have that they actually sell cosmetics. I don't think that they have much options, I'm just thinking the make up that they sell is all gift sets. Of course I'm just assuming, from my perspective.

Viva La Juicy

Ok Ok, I said that I've been wearing Ralph Lauren. I still do. On the other hand, I just recently had a good swiff of my best friend's new perfume: Viva La Juicy. hmm That was almost as good as my Ralph Lauren. I'm to experience a lot with different kinds of fragrances since my company will start to sell fragrances. I think it's a really good NEW & improved perfume that no one will expect from Juicy Couture. "Viva La Juicy Perfume by Juicy Couture, From the designing duo that turned a velour track suit into a fashion statement, this gourmand/fruity/floral fragrance is just the scent for trendy women. Top notes of wild berries and juicy mandarin met a floral heart of honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine, while the base notes are yummy gourmand notes of amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and pralines. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations."

Ralph Lauren Perfume

I never really liked perfume as I was growing up. Then I found one that I just completely stuck with. It was Ralph Lauren's perfume. I'm not sure what it's called but it was in a blue bottle. I've been using Ralph Lauren's perfume for about 2 years! It's great. (= I also like the fact that it is very affordable for an average person. "Ralph Lauren''s range of perfumes are available in a variety of fragrances because the world is full of a wide variety of women. You could never encompass all the moods, emotions and situations a woman could find herself in with just one perfume scent. Ralph has attempted to capture all these moods in his vast range with fragrance like Glamorous, Glamorous Daylight, Lauren, Romance, Polo Sport, Turquoise, Cool, Ralph Rocks, Hot and Safari. Notice how there seems to be something for everyone, something to suit your every mood and own personal body chemistry. "
