Body - Fragrance Fiorucci Review: Bath / Body

Is It An Ice Cream? No. Is It A Lollipop? No. It’s Icy Fantasy by Fiorucci!

When I first had the new Icy Fantasy by Fiorucci fragrance misted on my arm, I was worried that it might smell too sweet. I mean, look at the bottle. It had the sweetness all over the bottle. So I took a sniff of the fragrance and I was so close to sticking out my tongue and lick my arm! Not once, not twice but 4 times. All that during the short briefing of the fragrance. When I was asked how and what do I think of the smell…I said its sweet, but not the kind of sweet that gives you nauseas and headache…it’s more like the kind of sweet that makes you want to lick your arm lol!

Oh yeah. That was my first impression on Icy Fantasy.

Although I only know Fiorucci as an Italian fashion label, however this is not the first fragrance from Fiorucci. Icy Fantasy is more like new rules, new desires and new collaborations for the brand. Having said that I must talk about the brand and fragrance.

Body - Fragrance Event Review: Bath / Body Salvatore Ferragamo

Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina; Femininely Romantic Yet Cheekily Joyful

Because a Signorina is a different Signoria every day…

 

To celebrate a chic girl’s most joyful facet, Salvatore Ferragamo launches the new Signorina Eau de Toilette. Signorina is the ideal fragrance made for a romantic young woman who love to express her graceful sensuality through a natural elegance. I’m going to ignore the word “young” :). Let’s celebrate being a WOMAN!

Signorina1
The Vara Bow on the new Signorina is a new combination color of pink and lilac which carries a sense of freshness and a fashion edge. Romantic lilac color reveals the iconic Signorina in a brighter mood while being…chic. Personally I like the color combination of the ribbon bow and the way it was placed on top of the bottle.

Balmain Body - Fragrance Event Review: Bath / Body

The New Ivoire by Balmain; A Desire To Return To The Past, While Telling An Infinitely Contemporary Story

A stranger with quicksilver sensitivity

I find that the story behind the creation of the original Ivoire…fascinating. When I first read it I can almost imagine how it is for Pierre Balmain at that time. It happens towards the end of the seventies. Pierre Balmain – the designer crossed the path of a sovereign beauty as she descended the Paris Opera staircase draped in a pale silk gown. And Balmain dedicated Ivoire to her.

One evening in 1979, an unknown but extremely elegant woman inspired Pierre Balmain to create a perfume named Ivoire. He would ascribe to her the features of a woman with her eyes hidden under a broad-brimmed hat and dressed in a silk gown with a double strand of pearls around her neck. An unforgettable image.

The original Ivoire is a scent with strong personality which was considered advanced for its time. In short it was a very aldehydic fragrance borne by fruity harmonies that was combined together.

Now let’s take a look at The New Ivoire by Balmain which was previewed to the media in January 2013.

Body - Fragrance Issey Miyake Review: Bath / Body

Getting Into the Joy and Dynamism of the World of Vivid Pleats with Parfums Pleats Please Issey Miyake

I still vividly remember my first fragrance launch last year and it was the Parfums Pleats Please Issey Miyake. The brand Issey Miyake is not new to me. Most of my female friend loved the brand for it’s signature feminine scent. All I can remember is the soft but lasting fragrance and it’s tall and slim bottle design.

I would say Pleats Please is a breakthrough. Just when you think you know all about Issey Miyake…Pleats Please prove you wrong. It took the world to a whole new level with it’s exquisite design and concept.

Issey Miyake is known globally for his signature pleats- a look that went around the world in more than 80 colours. The designer Issey Miyake is known for his conceptual purity and elegant simplicity. His work exudes exuberance, dynamism, movement, and colour; it is contemporary yet timeless. Today, a great new adventure begins in the annals of Issey Miyake fragrance, continuing to forge a powerful bond with his fashion.

PleatsPlease1
Why the name Pleats Please? Let me bring you on a lil walk through on the concept of “Pleats”.

‘Pleats’ was introduced into ISSEY MIYAKE in 1989, and has been developed every season thereafter. By 1993, it was ready to be launched as a complete and stand-alone brand and appeared as PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE for the Spring-Summer collection.
This is a line that is positioned to embody one of the most fundamental concepts of Issey Miyake – where the true value of design lies in its integration into the everyday life and comfort of the wearer. This is clearly demonstrated in the development and evolution of traditional techniques of processing and of pleating material into a highly functional modern product – light in weight and easy to wear and handle. This revolutionary concept has won the respect and admiration of women throughout the world and contributed to the growth of an iconic brand – an ingenious fusion of creation, technology and business.

Body - Fragrance Lanvin Review: Bath / Body

Review: Jeanne LANVIN Couture EDP – Perfume for the Summer of 2012


Well, not so new :). I was late in this review after attending the fragrance launch somewhere in August. Sorry! But I have a reason for the delay.

It is a fact that perfume review is very subjective. Everyone is different. It’s either you love it or hate it. On the launch day itself I had migrain since morning. You might have guessed that on that day I was very sensitive to almost everything. Food I like smelt horrible to me, laptop screen too bright although I adjusted it to the lowest brightness and of course perfume is too strong and makes me giddy. That was exactly what happen with this lovely Jeanne LANVIN Couture perfume. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not bad until I was giddy. It’s the migrain! 

When I reached Spanish Steps Pavilion KL (where the launch is) I was already excited. Add that excitement to migrain and you’d get a giddy me. When I was given a bow band to take a sniff and when the new fragrance was spritz to the air…it was fresh and sweet and it does smells good. Please remind me not to take deeeeeeeppp breath next time at fragrance launch when I’m having migrain k? Maybe I took too much of a sniff at the bow band on my wrist, I started to get dizzy LOL!! I knew immediately it wasn’t the perfume. So, the big question is. Does it smell good? I’ll tell you what I think…BELOW 😛

Alright. The packaging, bottle etc review. What I like about the box packaging is that I get a cardboard outer box sleeve, a plastic wrapper, the box and inner box which is slightly corrugated to protect and to let the bottle sit securely inside. Very secure considering the bottle is made from glass and heavy!

The bottle. Absolute gorgeous. The bottle is a square 2-tone color with Jeanne LANVIN grosgrain fabric label on the middle while decorated with a deep purple ribbon box on the neck of the bottle, created by Artistic Director Alber Elbaz Lanvin. The bottle fits perfectly on the palm of my hand. Heavy but steadily. I always remind myself not to drop it lol! I’m clumsy at times so I’d normally sit on my bed while handling this gorgeous.
