Calvin Klein ETERNITY NOW EDP Review

Claims: Eternity Now by Calvin Klein captures the thrill and raw emotion of new love, when two people realise that it is the beginning of forever. They come together in a moment of profound clarity where emotion transcends the physical and the sheer power of the connection is unexpected and undeniable.

The fragrance continues the brand’s heritage of florals by opening with a bold burst of freshness as the juicy nectarine, succulent lychee, and quince sorbet envelopes skin with light fruity nuances that radiate a distinctive youthful energy. The heart blooms with a floral bouquet of peony, peach blossoms, and dewy neroli petals, leading to a drydown of a soft cashmere veil and traces of sensual ambrox and precious musk that translate the attraction and power of a beautiful love story about to unfold.

Fragrance: Bright addictive floral.
Top notes: juicy nectarine, lychee, quince sorbet.
Mid notes: peony, peach blossom, neroli petals.
Bottom notes: Cashmere, Ambrox, Musk

The women’s ETERNITY NOW Calvin Klein scent is a floral blend of juicy lychee, peony and cashmere veil, created by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis of fragrance house Firmenich, in conjunction with fragrance consultant Ann Gottlieb.

After 27 years of ETERNITY, CK has come up with ETERNITY NOW. Top notes are made of litchi, and quince sorbet, with the heart of peony, peach blossom and neroli petals. The base includes cashmere, ambrox and musk. The fragrance is available in bottles of 30, 50 and 100 ml EDT.

MRP: Rs.3950/- for 50ml

The bottle is rounder from the bottom and the packaging is completely different from the original CK Eternity. The cap is not the usual, this time it is a clear, transparent cap with reflecting mirror on the top. The color is pink and silver and this packaging is is looking more classy and nice. Now I am not into floral or fruity smells but I love woody, musky smells. Especially in winters and/or night time.

I thought this would be more of fruity or floral, but the smell within 10 minutes settles to a beautiful warm, musk with a hint of floral. I absolutely love the smell. The floral is not strong or in your face, but very fresh kind.

Sillage/wear time is also decent, it stays for around 7-8 hours which is more than many other perfumes on me.

It is nowhere close to the original Calvin Klein Eternity if you have been thinking it might be similar.

It is not something everyone would like, so I suggest trying it out at the counters first, before investing in the product as it is not exactly cheap.

It is definitely slightly on the expensive side, I won’t say it’s a must have, but it’s a beautiful addition to your perfume collection. Definitely worth checking out.

September 2015 My Envy Box Review

Hi guys,

If you remember the previous month’s My Envy Box, it was a bomb!! It was the best My Envy Box I had ever received. So I had very high expectations from this month’s My Envy Box, did it stay upto the expectations? Read on to know..

Read more about My Envy Box HERE and check out all the previous reviews HERE.

MRP: Rs.850/- (Buy HERE)

I received September’s My Envy Box today, and I also filmed a video and edited it all today 🙂

This month’s box is a silver colored one. It has the September card and the product details card, which has a few makeup tips on the back side of the card.

 

Let’s look into the contents:

  • Za Total Hydration Fresh Foamy Cleanser 5g sample- Full size Rs.299/- for 100g
  • Davidoff Cool Water Shower Gel 75ml- Full size Rs.1800/- for 150ml
  • Catrice Ultimate Shine Lip Colour in What’s Apricot Full size- Rs.610/- for 3.5g
  • Trussardi Donna perfume vial 1.5ml

This time there is just one full sized product i.e. the lipstick, one super deluxe sized sample i.e Davidoff Cool Water Shower Gel which is half the original size and two tiny samples which I am not too happy with.

The cleansing foam is only worth Rs.299/- and not something very expensive, so a sample size of at least 20g could have been included. I don’t like perfume samples in subscription boxes or bags, though this one smells nice, but you can get such tiny samples for free at the brand counters.

Catrice Lipstick in What’s up Apricot

My Catrice lipstick was a nice, everyday n*de shade and good to pair with smokey eyes, but it has melted and broken from the base and got damaged in transit :/

Overall I would say this month’s box is pretty ok, I am not too pleased. My expectations were sky high after the super amazing box last month. I would suggest you buy it only if you like the Davidoff Cool Water and the Catrice lipstick.

The price of the lipstick i.e. Rs.610/- and the shower gel i.e. Rs.900/- is a total of 1500/- which is decent for a box worth Rs.722/- (post discount)

I hope your lipstick remains intact though 🙂

Buy the box HERE, also you can use the coupon code ‘NEWLOVEMAKEUP‘ during checkout to get extra 15% off, which would bring down the cost of the box to Rs.722/-!

Did you get your September My Envy Box? Which lipstick shade did you get?

Estée Lauder Modern Muse Eau De Parfum Review

Estée Lauder unveils Modern Muse, a new fragrance that is inspired by the intriguing duality of today’s woman and complements every aspect of her dynamic life. This fragrance captures the essence of a Modern Muse with a Lush Floral Woody scent, a true statement in modern luxury that conveys confidence, style and creativity with a modern, youthful attitude.

Be an inspiration. Experience the fragrance that captures your style, your confidence, your creative spirit. An alluring contrast of sparkling florals and sleek, sensual woods.
Two distinctively different accords—Sparkling Jasmine Accord and Sleek Woods Accord—provide an intriguing dual impression. It’s a true innovation in fragrance design, as complex and fascinating as the woman who inspires it.

THE INSPIRATION
Modern Muse was inspired by the complexity of a modern woman, with the same dynamic contrasts as her life and her personality. Her creative energy and magnetic femininity are captured by its multi-faceted, sparkling floralcy. Her sleek style, strength and sensuality by its sleek woods.

Who is a Modern Muse? She’s confident and independent, soft and strong, feminine yet dynamic. Stylish and original, she inspires everyone she meets—without saying a word.

FEELING: CONFIDENT, INDEPENDENT, INSPIRING

FRAGRANCE TYPE: LUSH FLORAL WOODY

NOTES:
EXOTIC MANDARIN
HONEYSUCKLE NECTAR
DEWY PETALS
JASMINE SAMBAC
CHINA ABSOLUTE
TUBEROSE FLEUR FIRNAT
FRESH LILY
PATCHOULI COEUR
PATCHOULI CRIST
AMBER WOOD
SOFT MUSK
MADAGASCAR VANILLA SFE

A New Concept in Fragrance

Composed of subtle contrasts and bold contradictions, Modern Muse reveals layers of strength and softness in an appealing creative tension. Its innovative “dual-impression” structure invites women to connect with the fragrance through two contrasting aspects:

Sparkling Jasmine Accord: This facet of the fragrance captures the creative energy and magnetic femininity of a modern woman. Exotic Mandarin and tempting Honeysuckle Nectar send a spark of energy through a youthful sensation of Dewy Petals. Two extractions of Jasmine Sambac, including one new to the perfumery palette, Jasmine Sambac China Absolute, bring luminous texture to the feminine bouquet of rich Tuberose Fleur and Fresh Lily.

Sleek Woods Accord: Her sleek style, strength and sensuality are expressed through this innovative blend of two Patchouli essences wrapped in the creaminess of Madagascar Vanilla, rich Amber Wood and soft Musk – all of which craft an undeniably sensual finish.

MRP: Rs. 7900/- for 100ml & Rs.5900/- for 50ml

To start with, I am in love with the packaging! How beautiful does that bow look!! There is no separate cap and you need to directly spray it. The complete soft pink and gold with a hint of black on the bow looks very classy.

Coming to the scent, I have always loved musky ones. Those warm vanilla, woody, musky kinds. Too floral or fruity is not my taste. When I first smelled this perfume, I was in complete awe of it.

Its the perfect blend of floral and woody. Not too woody and not too floral. It hits the right chord. If you are someone, who does not like too much floral, fruity scents but love the hint of it in between the woody, this is just perfect for you! Highly recommended.

Rating: 4/5

Demeter Naturals EDT Spray Lavender,Sage Review

Demeter Fragrance Library Naturals Lavender EDT Spray

What the Company claims: There is no substitute for Natural Lavender. It provides a complexity and subtlety that cannot be achieved with even the best synthetic ingredients. That complexity and subtlety provides the heart of

Demeter Naturals Lavender, which mingles gracefully with aspects of orange, lemon and gallanum. The journey comes to a perfectly balanced completion with a refining touch of expensive and rare woods.

Lavender is a riddle that neither Science nor the Perfumer’s Art have been able to solve, but the Poet had no such problems:

“ladies fair, I bring to you
lavender with spikes of blue;
Sweeter plant was never found
growing on our English ground.”
By Caryl Battersby

MRP: Rs.1635/- for 50ml/1.7oz on Snapdeal HERE

I love lavender! I just cannot have enough of it, be it a hand cream, body wash or body lotion. Lavender hand cream and body wash are my all time favourites. I love how the scent relaxes you and calms you down.

When I received this Demeter Naturals in Lavender, this was the first I opened and tried, and did I like it ? Yes, I loved it. It smells of pure lavender. And even when you use it on your skin, you don’t feel the alcohol much, but more of an oil.

I received a faulty spray though. It did not sprayed but only leaked :/ I believe checking the bottle physically is very important. I got it exchanged and the new one worked fine.

Demeter Fragrance Library Naturals Sage EDT Spray

What the Company claims: A unique fresh scent infused with light herbal notes and sweet fresh greenery.

The Tea Plant and Sage
From “Literary Fables” by Tomás de Iriarte

From China, once, the Tea-plant coming,
Met with the Sage upon his way.
“Friend,”—said the latter, — “whither roaming?”
“For Europe, where for me they pay
A generous price,” — quoth Tea, — “I’m bound.”
“And I,” — said Sage, — “to China’s market go;
Where I am held in reverence profound
For beverage or for medicine, you know.
In Europe no good fortune waits on me;
A worthless herb, not comparable to thee,
But quite too common there — to shine.
I to your home am sent, and you to mine.

MRP: Rs.1635/- for 50ml/1.7oz on Snapdeal HERE

I am not really a fan of sage, so was’nt too sure of this. But somehow started liking it a bit. It smells more like a men’s cologne but a milder version. It is earthy and herbal, a ‘green grass’ kind of smell. I find this scent does not last long enough though.

And if I have to choose one, I did definitely go with lavender. Absolutely loved Lavender!
