Classique by Jean Paul Gaultier


Oriental Floral

Notes:
Top Notes- Rose, Pear, Bergamot, Mandarin, Orange, Orange Blossom, Star Anise
Middle Notes- Ylang-Ylang, Ginger, Orchid, Plum, Iris, Tuberose
Base Notes- Vanilla, Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, Cinnamon


I've planned to write a few words about this perfume for some time now, but somehow it didn't happen until now. I think, actually, that's because I was afraid I'll not be able to find the right words to describe this beauty in the best way. I'm not a perfume or any kind of expert, so I can't identify all the notes in it, but this is such a nice perfume and it deserves to be written about. I'll try to bring you the feel I have when I wear it. 
First, please, take a moment and look at this bottle. In the form of a female torso with a corset, it can be easily concluded that it hides something feminine and special inside. Whoever thought that, was not wrong. 


Even though I can't detect all the notes in it, I can smell the perfect combination of orange blossom, vanilla, amber and sandalwood. The first hit of it is orange blossom and vanilla, very sweet and very loud. As the time passes it calms down to soft, still loud, but soft vanilla, amber and sandalwood. This perfume is very, very strong! This is the one that can last you more than 12 hours. So, everybody need to be very careful with spraying it. For me (and everybody around me) one spritz is more than enough. It's beautiful and seductive, but if you overspray it, nobody will be able to breath near you or a few meters around you. Seriously! If I could take just one drop from this bottle I would, it will be the perfect amount for one day, or evening. And this is EDT. The EDP is much different and, believe it or not, weaker.


Now, if I look at notes and how strong it is, I can consider this as a cold weather fragrance, but it doesn't need to be like that at all. It has something inside that blends perfectly with warm skin in the warm summer nights. Never during the summer day, just nights. And it's so seductive. The man who one smell it, never forget it. I didn't believe in it until I experienced it myself. I don't know what is with this fragrance, it has some vintage feel in it, it can easily become "old lady" smell or to mark you as a vulgar and provocative women. But if you trigger the right amount in applaying, it can mark you as a special one, classy and sophisticated lady, but still seductive, it just can't be without this adjective. 
When I smell this I always imagine a luxurious boudoirs, ladies in gorgeous and feminine vintage dresses, lots of lace, powder puff boxes everywhere on the dressing table, dim lights and lot of anticipation. The perfect perfume for intimate moments.


And, in conclusion, I can only suggest you to try it. It is certainly worth of attention.

Zara -Zara White

Floral
Notes- magnolia, freesia, jasmine, amber


While I was running all over sales in Graz, I stopped to Zara. I've never tried either one Zara's perfume, so I decided to dedicate myself to it a little. I was so surprised by the quality of the perfumes. They smell fantastic and they are cheap, too. This one I liked the most and it was only 7


This is so light and clean fragrance. Although it is quite floral I can say that it's also fresh in some way. I smell magnolia and freesia the most in it and a little bit of amber, too. I can easily imagine myself wearing it this spring and summer, but mostly in the spring. Gives the feeling like you've washed your hair with some nice floral shampoo. Smells very feminine and luxurious, perfect for work. I don't think there is anyone who would be bothered by the smell, or caused headaches. It can be seen by the notes  that this is a very simple perfume, but beauty is in the simplicity, don't you agree?
It reminds me of Miracle by Lancome. Actually, it is almost the same fragrance. So, if you like Miracle and you don't have money for it, this is very close and cheaper alternative. It lasts about four hours on my skin, not so long, but for this price it's ok.


And the packaging is so fancy. The box and the bottle are quite simple and go along with the smell. It looks classy and is very nice addition on the dressing table.
I can only wish it welcome to my small perfume family. :)

What's in my bag?


What's in my bag posts are one of my favorites posts to read and favorites YouTube videos to watch. Actually, I really like to see other peoples photos of their bag stuff. So, I decided to make post like that and I hope you'll like it. :)








I've just pumped out everything I have in my bag at this moment. The candle is here just for decoration. :) But, this Glade candle is amazing! Omg, it smells wonderful! It is limited edition in Warm Spice scent. Just amazing! My whole room is smelling so warm and nice right now.
My current most used bag is the Mona leather bag. I've shown this bag in one of my previous post already. I don't think there is any particular name for this bag. It's just very quality and big bag by one of the most popular Serbian brand Mona. I don't think I carry a lot of stuff with me, but my bag is always so heavy. I don't know why. :) And, what is in my bag right now:

  • My Linea wallet in blue colour. I really love this wallet, my mum bought it for me last year. It's so big, I can put all my cards, cash and resets in there.
  • I carry with me two notebooks, I don't know why.
  • Small vintage double mirror. I'm obsessed  with this mirror, it's so nice.
  • My lucky pen. I passed the last few exams using this pen.
  • The keys for my house and my car keys.
  • Davidoff Cool Water perfume.
  • Tic-tac for fresh breath.
  • Balea hand sanitizer.
  • Yves Rocher Redberries hand cream and the small package of Nivea cream.
  • Two lipsticks, the Rimmel Apocalips in 101 celestial and the Manhattan Soft Matt lipcream in 53M.
  • Two chapsticks, the Labello Fruity Shine in Peach and the Yves Rocher Redberries lip balm
  • The case for my car documents, which I carry in my bag always.
  • And, of course, my phone, Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini.

Noa by Cacharel



Floral Woody Musk
Notes:
  • Top Notes- Plum, Green Notes, Freesia, Peach, Peony, White Musk
  • Middle Notes- Rose, Green Grass, Ylang-Ylang, Lily of the Valley, Jasmine, Lily
  • Base Notes- Vanilla, Coffee, Incense, Sandalwood, Coriander, Tonka Bean, Cedar
The perfume was created by Oliver Cresp in 1998.


Noa by Cacharel was one of the first perfumes I have ever bought. I remember that my dad brought a bunch of different samples of perfumes from Paris and of all of them I liked Noa the most. I've been saving a lot that I was able to buy it and I did not regret. I've used about five bottles of that since then and I enjoyed it to the last drop. It was my signature scent for a long time. I used to use it in all seasons, all the time, but now I use it occasionally.


This perfume is very hard to describe, it's best for all to try it if you have the chance. It is so simple, but yet so complicated. There are a lot of notes, of which I feel most of musk, coffee, some white flowers and a little vanilla. But they are all so well blended and form a single whole, this beautiful fragrance. Smells white, soft, cozy, soapy and crystal clear. It reminds of this little pearl trapped inside beautiful round bottle. Just like it is a whole universe of fragrances inside this little ball. When I smell it, I feel like I'm surrounded by soft and fragrant cloud of happiness. It just always makes me smile. It's like the dew that appears with the first rays of the sun in the spring morning, or as white flakes of the first snow. There are no words to describe the innocence of this fragrance. I think fairies and angels smell exactly like this.


Although I've used it for a long time, I think I will never get bored of it. This is something that is just part of me, part of who I am. I think the favorite perfume largely coincides with the personality of the person who wears it. I like to wear Noa when I get out of the shower, when I go to bed, I like to spray Noa on my sheets and pillows and smell it all night. I love to wake up next to him and smell Noa, I like to have breakfast and drink coffee and smell Noa. I like to wear Noa when I'm happy, because it makes me happy even more. I really, really love Noa! And I can not help but wonder: Why I wear other perfumes, when there is this perfection?

Fall Favorites :)


One of the best things about fall is walking in nature when leaves fall. It's cold, but not too much. We can wear thick sweaters, colorful scarves, layers of clothes, drink hot chocolate and enjoy the romance that is everywhere. We can enjoy inside our homes, curled up and cuddled watching movies, making hot bubble baths and our own spa treatments. We're switching current products to those used in the colder months. All this makes fall one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. 
Here are some things that I like and use during the fall season.

 PERFUMES



In the fall I like to use a bit stronger perfumes than I used to in warmer months. The ones I like and use the most are Lady Million by Paco Rabanne, Burberry Brit EDT by Burberry and Very Irresistible Sensual by Givenchy. Lady Million is floral fruity with honey and raspberry notes in it. It's very warm, but yet fresh fragrance, I use it all year round, but mostly during the cold months. Burberry Brit EDT is another one floral fruity. It is one of the coziest perfumes with the most beautiful vanilla note I've ever smelled. When you wear it, you feel like you're tucked away in the softest cashmere sweater. Very Irresistible Sensual is very irresistible! :) It is floral fragrance with spicy rose in the beginning and soft vanilla in the end. If you want sexy, feminine and long lasting perfume, this is for you!
This is only a brief description, I'll write about each of them separately.

LIPSTICKS AND NAIL POLISHES



When it comes to lipsticks, I like to use a neutral, slightly pink shades. I really like matte finish which has Manhattan soft matte lip tint in the shade 53M , first on the left. The other two are creamy and very moisturizing lips. Essence in 06 barely there! is a little darker than I use to, but is's still very nice plum color. It is long lasting lipstick, I can eat, drink and the color is still there. Rimmel in150 piccadilly pink is a beautiful pink "just like your lips, but better" color. And the last is Maybelline Baby Lips chapstick in peach kiss, because we need to keep our lips hydrated during the cold months. 
In the cold season I use darker shades of nail polish, too. Here are my favorite- Rimmel Lycra Pro in 359 little brown dress( beautiful dark brown, almost black color), Deborah gel effect in 07( blood-red color) and Maybelline Colorama in 165( dark gray color).


PROTECTION




Everybody knows that the hands and hair must be protected in the cold weather. Kamill classic hand and nail cream is the best cream I've ever used. The skin on my hands is so dry, but every time I use this cream my hands recover immediately. For the hair I use Revlon Pro You Nutritive Treatment and it leaves  hair much stronger and shinier. Since the fall and winter are the seasons where people most easily get cold, I always carry with me Antibacterial Hand Gel. This one is by Balea. It has very pleasant citrus smell.



ACCESORIES



Here are my favorite scarves and my fuzzy slippers, because the feet must be warmed. :)



And, for the end, my current favorite bag by Carpisa, my baby. :) It has three compartments, which means it is big enough to carry all my stuff.  

What are your favorite things about fall? :)

My Name by Trussardi





Oriental Floral
Notes:
  • Top Notes- White Violet, Heliotrope
  • Middle Notes- Lilac, Musk, Arum Lily
  • Base Notes- Amber, Vanilla
This perfume is inspired by Italian lifestyle and the city of Milan.



Now, I will write about how I personally percieve the smell of the perfume. I'm wearing it for almost a month now and finally I can tell what I really think about it.
First, the bottle is gorgeous, clear glass with gold writing and Trussardi logo in the middle give the impression of elegance and style. What I find interesting is that the straw inside the bottle is transparent. I've never seen it in any bottle of perfume before. What I have here is a bottle of 30 milliliters. Bottles of 50 and 100 milliliters are slightly different and  have a plastic cap. In my opinion, this is the better version of it.
But, the most interesting and the best part is the smell itself. I can not describe how wonderful this fragrance blends with my skin, as if it were my own fragrance, the smell of my skin, not the perfume I'm wearing.  So creamy and soft, powdery, but again not too much (I do not like overly powdery scents). It is the same type of smell as well as Chloe perfume. I feel floral and powdery notes with just a little hint of vanilla. Some people would say that it is fresh and clean fragrance, but to me it's just creamy. It can be worn all year round and won't bother anyone. The best thing to me is that I constantly feel it, the aura is a decent first three hours, maybe even more and after a while, it smells so nice close to the skin. I can say that this is a very intimate fragrance, which, after some time, only you can smell, and a person who has permission to come so close to you that he can enjoy it, too. :) This is the scent of a cherished and gentle woman, nothing more than that, but it's really quite enough.
