Giorgio Armani Sì EDP Review

By Linda

Hello gorgeous ladies,

Hope you had an amazing Diwali with your loved ones. Today’s review is about a lovely fragrance called Si by Giorgio Armani. A sale assistant at the counter in the Mumbai international airport (Duty Free Shopping) allowed me to try on this perfume and assured me that once sprayed on to your clothes, this perfume will last for at least 3 days. Yes!! You heard me right 3 days, so I went ahead to try it. I’m very particular in terms of perfumes since I dislike strong fragrances or perfumes that are too sweet and fruity. Strong perfumes tend to give a headache secondly I cannot spray perfume on my skin since it irritates easily. Fragrances that are subtle and yet lasts for long is what I like and look for. As I tried on this perfume, it was easy for me to decide as I instantly fell in love with this classy fragrance. There were other various collections in Si range. But this was the best high end perfume I found for myself. I was offered this perfume on a discounted price since I purchased various other things in Duty Free. So let’s find out more about this awesome fragrance.

Product description: An Aromatic rose scented fragrance. At once chic, voluptuous, intense and soft. Si eau de parfum lingers on the skin and enchants the sense. The distinguish and elegant fragrance allows women to express their every emotion.

Si has a top note of blackcurrant nectar, a heart of freesia and Rose of Mai, with a musky blond wood base. This fragrance was created for the modern women who’s strong yet feminie, sophisticated yet charismatic. She embodies the very essence of chic Italian elegance and style.

Price: Approx 7000 INR for 50 ml.

Packaging: The Perfume is packed in a glass transparent bottle with a black cap giving a sophisticated yet a feminine look with the brand names printed. It comes in a well packed carton box. The shape of the bottle is convenient to grip and comfortably hold on to the nozzle to pump required amount of fragrance. The ingredients of the perfume are mentioned on the back of the carton box. I always keep it in the carton and carry along with me while I’m travelling overseas.

My take on Giorgio Armani Sì Perfume

In simple words this fragrance has a subtle yet unique note that I never came across .It does not even irritate the skin or give any sorts of headache once spraying onto yourself or your clothes. It smells feminine and sophisticated. I had many of them asking me as in which perfume I’m wearing. The smell remains on all day long. You need not carry the bottle along with you all day since the fragrance just remains throughout once sprayed. And as the sales assistant assured me it definitely remains on your clothes for days.

I haven’t sprayed this perfume on a sunny and humid day. Mostly sprayed it during an indoor event in cool temperatures.

I do not use it on daily basis since I don’t want finish the bottle soon 🙂 It’s perfect for important events like high end parties, job interview, meetings or even a date, where you can get easily noticed for this classic perfume and a few raised eyebrows here and there. Believe me it’s hard to explain in words how the perfume exactly smells but handsdown it will be totally worth it. I’m definitely buying this perfume again hope it remains on the permanent collections. A Must buy!!.

Pros:

  • Unique Fragrance
  • Lasts really long (Clothes and skin)
  • Does not irritate the skin
  • Does not given any headaches (atleast for me)
  • Smells simply awesome
  • Suitable for any event(wearable perfume)

Cons:

  • None

Rating: 5/5

Would I recommend Giorgio Armani Sì Eau de Parfum Spray? Definitely Yes!!! , I’m confident you will love this perfume.

Editor’s Note: This sounds absolutely amazing, I will definitely try this at the duty free next.

Have you tried the Giorgio Armani Sì EDP? Which is your favourite perfume?

Layer’r Wottagirl Secret Crush Body Splash Review

By Pallavi

Hello NLM Beauties,

Since summer is round the corner, i thought of coming up with something summery. Well, i just love summers. Winters are not my best friend because you have to wear so many clothes in summers and you have to stay all day inside. Winters are quite boring and short. Whereas in summers you get the complete day to yourself. Anyways, let’s not drift away from the topic of summer essentials. Since all the seasons have some or the other staples. So, what’s your staple in summers? Well, for me sunscreen. But i have heard that many people treat perfumes or do as their staple in summer. Well, i am not a perfume girl and so i use perfume too less. But i have heard half of the world going gaga over this perfume. So, i thought of let’s try it out. And thus here follows my review.

Price : Rs. 195 for 135 ml. (BUY HERE)

Directions to use : Press the nozzle at the top and the splash will dispense out of the hole. Now, spray it on your underarms , handkerchiefs and any other place you like.

Ingredients : Ethyl alcohol (extra neutral alcohol), diethyl phthalate, aqua perfume, PEG 40, propylene glycol, ethylhexyl methocinnamate,  ethylhexyl salicilate, BHT , triclosan, CI 45430

What it claims :
Layerr brings you Wottagirl fragrant body splashes; fragrances that will leave you feeling fresh and smelling beautiful.A seductive fusion of ripe oranges and lemons, enveloped in the classic floral sweetness of jasmine.

My experience with Layer’r Wottagirl Secret crush Body Splash

Firstly, let’s talk about the packaging. it comes in really fancy and classy packaging. it is a big glass bottle which is transparent and has attractive designs going on in the body. the product name and other details are on the bottle. the bottle similar to other perfumes has a nozzle like opening which needs to be pressed a bit to bring the perfume out.

The perfume is gaseous in nature which is of course transparent. You cannot see it but just smell it. i remember Layer’r Wottagirl launched some more scents this time. All were quite distinct from one another and yet so good. This one is more like a feminine one and is very classy. It is not at all a troubling smell and stays on for quite long.

Good about Layer’r Wottagirl Secret crush Body Splash

Easy availability
Affordable price
Wide range of choices
Classy packaging
Not irritating on skin
Smells is not bothersome
Lasts entire day

Bad about Layer’r Wottagirl Secret crush Body Splash

Nothing for me

Rating – 5/5

Editor’s Note: Sounds pretty good, I have to try this. Nice Review Pallavi 🙂

Have you tried Layer’r Wottagirl Body Splash before? Any favourites?

The Body Shop Black Musk EDP Review & Valentine’s Day Makeup Tutorial

The Body Shop Black Musk EDP Review & Valentine’s Day Makeup Tutorial

Hi guys,

So The Body Shop recently launched their Black Musk Range and the theme for that is #NaughtyAndNice. It’s a combination of strong musk with the sweet vanilla and licorice notes, hence naughty and nice.

While the naughty side would be more of a smokey eye, this is the softer ‘Nice’ shade. And this soft pink makeup tutorial is also perfect for the Valentine’s Day, win win! All the Body Shop products I use in this video are mentioned at all Body Shop stores in the ‘Nice’ makeup look face chart. Similarly, if you prefer a smokey look, you can check out the ‘Naughty’ Face chart. Here is the face chart for reference or to buy the products online.

So here is the my ‘Nice’ version and this soft pink Valentine’s makeup look..

Talking about the Body Shop Black Musk Range, they have a EDP, EDT and the Perfume Oil. I have been using the EDP since the past few days and getting lots of compliments on it.

I am more of a woody, musky smell lover and I don’t like over sweet perfumes, the Black Musk is a perfect balance of the two coz the sweet vanilla and licorice notes are balanced with the more woody musk smell. At the initial sniff, you will find it very sweet but soon as it settles, you will love the mid and base notes of this.

Notes are sweet pear infused with pink pepper and bergamot on top. Intense aroma of heliotrope, which varies between marzipan and almond, is interspersed with ylang-ylang and aphrodisiac notes of licorice, in the middle. Hot black vanilla,black musk ,earthy patchouli, vetiver and chocolate at the end.

Few people have mentioned that it did not stay that long on them, fortunately on me this EDP lasted really long, also the EDP is the strongest of the three and if you wish to buy any one, I would definitely suggest getting the EDP.

Both the EDP and EDT contain Community Fair Trade Organic Alcohol crafted from sugarcane that is harvested by co-operatives in South America.

It is priced at Rs.3295/- for 50ml which is pretty decent for a 50ml bottle. I quite like the black and pink packaging too, only thing is I cannot see the exact qty through the bottle.

Overall, I would say, definitely take a whiff of this Black Musk EDP the next time you are at The Body Shop store, coz I am sure you will love it 🙂

Earrings are from Accessorize India.

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.

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money : 3.5/5

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?

Unboxing & Review: September 2015 Anniversary Fab Bag

Hi guys,

I received the September Fab Bag today and I recorded, edited and uploaded this video all today 😀 So that you can decide whether or not to order the September Fab Bag.

This is their 3rd anniversary bag. It is a red and black glittery pouch. I am not a fan of glitter pouch as such, but it is big enough and good for travel.

Products I got in the bag:

  • Makeup Revolution Focus & Fix Liquid Concealer in Medium- Full size (Rs.550/-)
  • Kama Ayurveda Rose Water (Full size Rs.250/- for 50ml)
  • Just Herbs Rejuvenating Beauty Elixir (Full size- Rs.985/- for 15ml)
  • Skinn by Titan Celeste for Women and Raw for Men – 2ml samples (Full size- Rs.990/- for 50ml)
  • theBalm Stainiac Lip & Cheek Stain- 1.2ml sample (Full size Rs.1200/- for 8.5g)

Now I was quite excited to read ‘theBalm’ at first, but then noticed a small 1.2 ml sample and got a bit disappointed. I wanted a bigger sample, at least a deluxe one. Not very happy with the small perfume samples too, the 9-10 ml body mists are much better which I got in previous bags than this tiny 1-2 ml vials.

I love the fact that there are 3 full sized products though one is a smaller bottle i.e. the Kama Ayurveda Rose Water. I have used it before and I quite like the Kama facial sprays. I am happy with the Makeup Revolution full sized concealer too and the Just Herbs Rejuvenating Beauty Elixir. I have used such facial oils/serums before and I have always loved them, so looking forward to trying this one.

Overall, I am happy with the bag but I got a bit excited thinking it would be something very unique since it is the Anniversary issue. A deluxe sized theBalm product would have been perfect, but nonetheless it is a good bag and I recommend it. Only make sure you get the concealer in your shade match.

What did you get in your September Fab Bag?

Envy After Dark Series Perfume Body Sprays Review

Unleash Your Dark Side with ENVY After Dark Series

Vanesa care one of the top manufacturers of deodorants and perfume in the country has launched Ultra range of perfume body spray under brand name ENVY. ENVY 1000 in current fiscal is one of the India’s fastest growing brands in the country and known for its excellent quality and unique communication mix.

ENVY ‘After Dark’ series is especially crafted for the modern men who has arrived & needs no introduction. Perfume body spray designed for pure masculinity and panache. ENVY ‘After Dark’ Series is a work of art both in fragrance and packaging carefully crafted ultra-modern fragrance to give all the ‘truly arrived’ man needs in a fragrance. Four exquisite variants of Envy ‘after dark’ series are: The Techno – for the man who needs just a glance not his message across who is intense yet sensible. This fragrance masculinity comes from action not words. It consists of fresh notes at the top & heart is composed of woody & sweet notes. The base contains amber, sandal and musk. Now with Techno, intensity has got a new weapon; The Trance–Fragrance for young and for stubborn teenager who just refuses to age. Carefully crafted for irresistible you from Dawn to dusk. Envy Trance is an aromatic spicy fragrance for men with top notes are of bergamot and mandarin with a burst of spices in the middle enriched with richness of amber and sandal at the base. Now the irresistibly young needs NO introduction; The Rock – Head turner, Showstopper has just arrived with Envy Rock, the Modern classic fragrances that evoke sense of wild and unbeatable energy to rock the party. Top notes are fresh spicy, green, with fillings of vetiver, rose and lily of the valley, base notes are musk, sandalwood, patchouli, cedar and oakmoss. Now with ENVY Rock, is the rock star of the party. And the Hip Hop – Energy, masculinity and strength are three cornerstones for ENVY HipHop. It opens with fresh, citrus, green and marine notes while the heart is enriched with jasmine and spices. The base closes with rich sandal and vetiver with the hint of vanilla. Envy Hip-Hop in your side now is ready rule the dark.

Ultra Premium range of Envy After dark series Techno, Trance, Rock & Hip-Hop perfume body sprays are available in an attractive Packaging of 130ml (108g) at Rs 250/- only

True to ENVY brand genesis entire range is pure fragrance and no gas which simply means irresistible you without any wastage.

I love how they have been named after genres of music and have different color for each one. I usually always go for men’s perfumes/deos as they are slightly stronger and I love the smell, also they stay longer than those soft, floral ones meant for women.

Techno is a softer fragrance since its a mix of woody and sweet.

Trance is a medium one, not hard hitting and a perfect balance. My favourite

Rock is strong and hard, it hits you at the first whiff itself.

Hip Hop again is a soft fragrance with the strong accord of jasmine

I love Trance the most, followed by Techno and Hip Hop. But when it comes to long staying power, Rock stays the longest.

I like the fact that these are not gas deos, but actual perfume body sprays and stay a long long time than normal deos.

Definitely recommend trying the Envy Perfume Body Sprays, especially the After Dark Series

The Body Shop Red Musk Eau De Parfum Review

What the Company claims: Defy conventions with Red Musk™ Eau de Parfum. Combining spiced musk with hot notes of cinnamon and intense tobacco for a distinctly different fragrance. No flowers – just a bold blend of musk and spice.Contains cruelty-free musk Lasting eau de parfum Enriched with Community Fair Trade Alcohol from Ecuador

MRP: Rs.2995/- for 60ml

To start with, let me tell you I love warm,woody and musky perfumes, so I was bound to love this one!

Top note: Pepper

Middle note: Cinnamon

Base notes: Tobacco, Musk

The Body Shop Red Musk EDP is a mix of spicy and musky. It smells slightly strong in the first whiff after you directly spray it, but after a few minutes, it settles to a perfect, well balanced fragrance.

Though it does not stay very long, I would have loved if it stayed a bit longer.

It comes in the size of 60ml only currently, I think they should launch a 30ml soon which would be more reasonably priced too.

Its more of an unisex perfume even though it is meant for women, coz of the spicy,musky hit.

If you are like me who more often reaches for men’s perfume and likes strong,spicy,musky smell, you will surely love this and I definitely recommend this to you!

All Good Scents EDP Love & Joy,Evoke,Lolette Review

Hey guys,

Today I am reviewing perfumes again, after the recent Estée Lauder Modern Muse, now its time for these babies.

About All Good Scents: Much like musical notes make up a song fragrance notes are necessary to make a perfume. Overall, there are three note scales that when blended together create the perfume’s fragrant accord. All Good Scents has based its LOGO on this pertinent allegory of the perfume world- The Perfume Pyramid.

APPLICATION:

Top Notes: (Within 5 minutes) The initial whiff, the first few seconds of the perfume. The top notes of a fragrance are generally the lightest of all the notes. They are recognized immediately upon application of the perfume. Common fragrance top notes include citrus (lemon, orange zest, bergamot), light fruits (grapefruit, berries) and herbs (clary sage, lavender).

Heart Notes: (6 to 8 hours) The heart notes, make an appearance once the top notes evaporate. A perfume’s heart is often a smooth combination of floral or fruit tones. Common fragrance heart notes include geranium, rose, lemongrass, ylang ylang, lavender, neroli and jasmine.

Base Notes: (8+ hours) The base notes are the final fragrance notes that appear once the top & heart notes have evaporated. These often, rich notes linger on the skin for hours after the heart notes have dissipated. Common fragrance base notes include cedar wood, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, patchouli, oak moss and musk.

They have a separate range for men and women. And within men and women, they have a premium EDP Range and the Essentials Range for daily wear.

Today I am reviewing the Premium Range EDP for Women which are Love & Joy, Evoke and Lolette.

About the Premium Range: Exquisitely distilled fragrances from rare blossoms and exotic ingredients. Celebrating the spirit of the Venus in you.

Evoke For the Femme Fatale: Envelop yourself with this sensual fragrance and spice up your evening. Leave a lingering, passionate scent whenever you move. It’s intoxicating yet subtle, powerful yet delicate.

Evoke- passions he never knew existed.

Top Notes: Blackcurrant, Green Notes, Bergamot
Heart Notes: Jasmine, Lily Of The Valley, White Flowers
Base Notes: Vanilla, Sandalwood, Tonka Beans

MRP: Rs.1200/- for 50ml

Evoke has this squarish golden packaging but with slight curves 😉 Blackcurrant is the strongest among the top notes here when I smell it. Later on its the Lily from the Heart Notes and the faint whiff of vanilla in the Base Note. The top notes are a little heavy for me but I loved the Heart and Base Notes, so this perfume is something I would love after some time of application.

Lolette for the Naughty Lady: Revel in a sensual and dainty aura as you celebrate with this floral bouquet. Enjoy the mischievous sparkle that will follow you, leaving many yearning for more.

Lolette- Tease your naughty, with a spray of our nice.

Top Notes: Coconut, Plum, Apricot
Heart Notes: Tuberose, Pimento, Jasmine Sambac
Base Notes: Vanilla, Rose, Jacaranda Wood

MRP: Rs.1200/- for 50ml

I loved the royal bluish purple packaging to start with, and the bottle stands tall, unlike those short, round ones. Lolette too has stronger top notes, followed by the same floral heart notes and musky base notes. This again I loved after some time of application.

Love & Joy For the Free Spirit: Indulge yourself in a quaint symphony of flowers. For your blossoming youth and free spirit, celebrate ‘YOU’ with this elegant fragrance. Mixed with soft freshness, eternal youth, and the divine feminine that is YOU.

Love & Joy- celebrate life, celebrate ‘YOU’.

Top Notes: Freesia, Peony, Litchi
Heart Notes: Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Magnolia
Base Notes: White Musk, Amber, Powdery Notes

MRP: Rs.750/- for 30ml, Rs.1500/- for 75ml

I loved the bright yellow packaging with a butterfly on this. Though the top note has Litchi, this time its more floral and not too fruity. The rose and lily combo in the heart notes are just perfect. And my favourite White Musk and Amber in the base notes. This is my favourite out of the three! Absolutely loved this one. Totally my kinds.

Also, one thing I would like to mention here is, these perfumes stayed 11+ hours on me, which hardly any perfume does! I was amazed by the staying power and loved it.

You can buy these HERE. They also have Free Shipping all over India and one can get a free mini spray using the promo code ‘MINISPRAY’ which would be perfect for travel. Also they have a concept called ScentBox where one can try upto 3 tester samples. You can choose the testers yourself.

SCENTBOX™ allows you to explore & try the very latest fragrance launches from the comfort of your own home or office. For just Rs 55 per tester, each edition comes with 3 fragrance samples for you to test as well as promotional vouchers so you can make some big savings on all the scents featured in the SCENTBOX™.

Absolutely recommend trying this out. Economical and such amazing quality!
