Christmas adverts 2013

One month today until Christmas and less than a week to buy an advent calendar. I am feeling pretty unorganised.

I was doing so well, having sorted out most of my sisters' presents a few months ago, but since then I haven't bought much at all.

I haven't been overly thrilled with this year's Christmas adverts to be honest, but I do like a few of them.

Boohoo's advert is probably my favourite as it's full of sparkle.

I also quite like the Boots advert and wish someone would leave a bottle of Marc Jacobs Honey on my doorstep!

The Marks and Spencer advert is atmospheric and fun.

The John Lewis advert cost £1m to make and is part of their £7m Christmas advertising campaign. It is nice enough, but a bit overpriced if you ask me.

3 new release fragrances I cannot wait to try!

I found out about these fragrances on www.fragrantica.com, where you can read about new, old or future fragrances and I have been waiting for these three for months.

I really loved the original Jimmy Choo fragrance and I was even more thrilled by Flash, their more recent release. Earlier this year I found out that Jimmy Choo would be releasing Exotic due out in June 2013, but I have not come across a bottle yet.
The notes are listed as blackcurrant sorbet, fresh pink grapefruit, passion flower, tiger orchid, floral accords, patchouli and gourmand raspberry. It sounds delicious and I love the bottle, similarly designed to the original Jimmy Choo fragrance, but with a bright pink cube lid and the fragrance itself is a juicy berry colour.

 

I love Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy and I also love Viva La Juicy La Fleur. I love the big chunky glass bottles that they come in and I greedily always opt for the biggest available so I have the 100ml Viva La Juicy and the 150ml Viva La Juicy La Fleur.

I am really looking forward to trying the new Juicy Couture fragrance due to be released in July 2013, Viva La Juicy Noir.
The notes are listed as berries, mandarin, honeysuckle, gardenia, jasmine, amber, caramel, vanilla and sandalwood.
I can't wait to try it. Like Jimmy Choo Exotic, this fragrance is also a juicy berry colour and the bottle is the same shape as the original Viva La Juicy fragrance, made from chunky glass with a huge black satin bow around the neck.

Another fragrance that I've been looking forward to for what seems like forever is Marc Jacobs Honey. This fragrance is also due for release in July 2013.
In a similarly designed bottle to Dot, but with a more summery bottle. The plastic butterflies have yellow and black stripes to represent 'honey' bees.
The notes are listed as pear, mandarin orange, punch, honeysuckle, orange blossom, peach, honey, vanilla and woodsy notes.
This sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it. I love Marc Jacobs fragrance bottles as well.
