More perfume excitement!

Today I got to try the new Marc Jacobs fragrances Daisy Delight and Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight, which I found when I was shopping!
I asked in Boots and they said they would be getting them in and said the Marc Jacobs summer editions usually come in around April, but last year I bought the Sunshine editions in February so hopefully they'll get them in really soon as I want the advantage card points!
Both fragrances are delightful. It was love at first sniff.


I also got to try Escada's summer fragrance, Born In Paradise, which has only just hit the shops today. It is exotic and tropical.
It has top notes of pineapple and coconut milk, heart notes of watermelon, green apple and guava and woody and musky notes in the base.
It is very different. I really like this one.


I have still been unable to find Jimmy Choo's Flash London Club in the 100ml bottle. I want it so bad, but the department stores only had 1 or 2 bottles of the 60ml in!

I ended up buying Nina Ricci's La Tentation de Nina from Boots and I got a free Nina Ricci bag with it. I don't use these free products so I usually put them on ebay to get back some of the money I paid for the perfume. Some freebies go for a fortune as well.

More 2014 perfumes!

I have already mentioned in previous posts that I really want to try the Marc Jacobs fragrances, Daisy Delight and Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight, which are coming out in the next few months.

I have tried Jimmy Choo Flash London Club, which I love, but I am struggling to find a 100ml bottle! I also want Nina Ricci's La Tentation de Nina, which came out in January. I have tried it in store and it is really nice, but I haven't purchased it yet.



Other 2014 fragrances that I am looking forward to trying are Jimmy Choo's Exotic 2014 version.
There was an Exotic released last year, which smells like berries combined with the signature from the original Jimmy Choo fragrance. I love it.
That was the pink coloured one, but this year will see the release of Exotic in orange, which I'm sure will be just as delicious.

Another fragrance that I'm sure I will like is Vera Wang Be Jeweled Rouge. Just looking at the bottle you can tell it is going to smell like berries and sure enough the notes are red currant, gardenia, sweet pralines and woody and musk accords.
I think this fragrance is out already, but I haven't seen or tried it yet.

Diesel Loverdose Tattoo

Today I tried Diesel's Loverdose Tattoo in Boots. I had seen it before, but hadn't bothered trying it as I didn't expect to like it.
I hated Loverdose when I first tried it a few years ago and it wasn't until last month that I tried it again and liked it so I ended up buying a bottle and now I love it.

I didn't expect to like Loverdose Tattoo, expecting it to be really dark and heavy like the bottle would suggest, but I actually found it light and fruity. I was really surprised. The scent doesn't go with the bottle at all!





The top notes are bergamot, mandarin orange and cassis.
The middle notes are rose, orange blossom and jasmine sambac.
The base notes are tonka bean, rice, vanilla and milk.

I prefer the bottle for the original Loverdose fragrance.

New releases from Irregular Choice for 2014!

Irregular Choice have brought out a new range recently, which I quite like. Their last range failed to impress me, but their new designs bring something new and different.

These unicorn heeled shoes, Full Of Grace are cool. I like them more than the bunny or gnome heeled shoes they released and I prefer them to the cat shoes, which have also just come out (see below).

These daisy shoes, Dippy Daisy are cute. They also come in red, but I much prefer the blue ones.


I like these pink butterfly and bow shoes. They are very busy and quite pretty. They are called Secret Pair.
Paw Print are another pair with unique heels, but I'm not as keen on the heel or the style of the shoe. They cost £125.00, which is more than I'd pay for these.


These are call Spot The Dot and aren't as high, but they are quite cute. You can also buy them in black.
Finally we have Naughty Smile, which are available in red or green. I think I prefer the green ones.
