When I was gifted a bottle of Elie Saab Girl of Now on my birthday, I was asked to do a review on it. I said no immediately but after considering it for quite a while, I think I should because it is the latest fragrance release. Granted now the distributor no longer send us any new fragrance . Before I go into detail with that perfume, I thought I’d tell you about my all time favourite perfume.

I still remember my reaction when I was gifted with a perfume. I think I sent a wrong impression to my friend that I hated my gift. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE PERFUME. Just that I have too much at the moment lol. I currently have about 30 bottles on my vanity table and another 10ish in the cabinet unopen. I wish he ask me what I want and I’d reply diamond

No. 1 Favourite Perfume – Estée Lauder Modern Muse

I cannot tell you enough how much I love the Estée Lauder Modern Muse line. Modern Muse, Modern Muse Chic or whatever just give me all. I’ve gone through the entire bottle of the original Modern Muse. Right before that, I was lucky to be sent the new Modern Muse Chic. Both version carries the same scent. For me there’s hardly any difference. I’m about to finish the Modern Muse Chic and Paris B kindly gave me hers! This is a scent where whenever I wore it, everyone would stop me on the street and ask me what perfume I was wearing. It happened at several H&M store, with the cashier asking me what sensual scent I was wearing. You can really smell a Modern Muse chic walking from far. I remember when I was at the Sephora Mid Valley store opening, out of the sudden I can smell a strong Modern Muse storm. I started to look around and waited. Then all the Estée Lauder PR girls arrived LOL. I told them “I can smell you from far” and they were laughing hard. No kidding. It’s really that good. For me that is

Signorina Misteriosa, Opium, Bamboo, Flora and The Scent

I can’t pick the secondary perfume because I have many! But if I want to save my Modern Muse and use something equivalent, it would be YSL Black Opium. Oh my God. This perfume is so sexy and seductive. The scent is strong but not nauseating. It lasts the entire day without the note changes. Perfume usually has 3 notes in it and each will evolve as the day goes by. Not this one. No problem for me as I like it that way.

And if I want to smell delicious and yet still sexy, I would go for Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia. I’m a floral scent girl so it is no surprise that I would like this one. The scent is so me according to many people. I go heavy handed with this and I don’t find myself drowning in it. Not bad lol. It’s mature, sexy, sensual, seductive. It’s everything a girl would like.

Hugo Boss BOSS THE SCENT has a similar scent to Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia, only sweeter. I don’t usually go for sweet scent except for this one, which I’ve used up quite a bit. It has a light scent despite being an Eau de Parfum. The scent doesn’t last long although I literally bath myself in it. So if I want to smell nice and a little sweet for a quick outing such as coffee run or lone shopping, this is what I’d wear.

This next scent has an impact in me personally. My ex and I each received the same Gucci Bamboo for review at the same time. As much I like this perfume and I’m left with 3% of content, I would want to finish this up and toss the bottle away. That’s because I have a new bottle waiting . If you like a subtle scent, this is the scent for you. It smells really fresh and floraly. I’m kinda obsessed with it. I only wish it was a tad bit stronger so that I don’t have to use so much each time.

Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina Misteriosa is the “darker version” of the iconic Signorina. I like Ferragamo as a whole brand so it doesn’t take a lot of guessing I like their fragrance line as well. The scent is mysterious as how the brand want to package it. It’s a deep, mature, womanly scent that is also sexy and sweet despite being a floral scent.

The Love of My Life – Elie Saab Girl of Now

You know how certain things that you don’t like a first grew on you and you fell in love? Again and again, all over. That is how I am with Elie Saab Girl of Now. Very much the same feeling I had towards the person who gave me this gift.

I received this on my birthday. It was my birthday eve, raining heavily that we had to cancel our Japanese dinner and go for a cozy home Japanese food order from Food Panda instead. Not the birthday celebration I expected and I was rather disappointed. I bought a new dress to wear. You know me. And it was my birthday! Food Panda was not good but the company was. The conversation started out of the sudden like “so I went to ask the lady what is the latest and greatest and the lady said this”. There I was, sitting there wondering what the heck this person was saying (because there was no opening line) and this person bent over to the other side of the table, and put the box in front of me. A perfume?! I said. That person replied yeah, it’s beauty. I did ask why buy me perfume and that I like diamond haha. This person has been telling me a few days ago that it’s something beauty and I’d love it. Because it’s beauty. Beauty is me. True enough. 100 brownie points for understanding me that well. I opened the bottle and mist Girl of Now on my arm. I said it smells like some middle eastern scent and I don’t like it. You know how perfume is. It takes time. After about 30 minutes, I smell something nice. I took a sniff on my arm and I was blown away. The top note has worn off and the middle note emerged. It reminds me of YSL Black Opium, only manlier. The beautiful scent stays on smelling oh so nice for the rest of the night. As I used it more and more, I like it. Now I love it. As I’m typing this now, I’m misting myself with this perfume on me. I find myself doing this a lot lately whenever I’m working from home. I have the bottle sitting in front of me. Hard to not reach out and mist myself with it.

There you have it! My perfume collection and what I smells like most of the time . Conclusion, Modern Muse or Black Opium hands down. Otherwise it’s Girl of Now

Now, let’s face it. We all know how much I LOVE the Fifty Shades trilogy and the movie Fifty Shades of Grey. Fifty Shades Darker movie which are scheduled to be released in Valentine’s Day 2017, had released the second trailer just a few days ago. Deep down inside I was secretly hoping that the lead actor is British Actor, Theo James, who is also the ambassador for BOSS THE SCENT.

‘There’s a darker side to it’

Theo once said that his ad for HUGO BOSS has a darker side to it. In the latest BOSS THE SCENT new film with Anna Ewers, the face of BOSS THE SCENT For Her, who is also the lead actress in the short film, there is definitely a darker side to it. I have reviewed both the BOSS THE SCENT and BOSS THE SCENT For Her perfume, so I am not going to bored you again with it. I thought it would be interesting for you to show you the Top 5 Scenes From BOSS THE SCENT: The new film with Anna Ewers & Theo James that reminds me of Fifty Shades Darker trailer . This short film definitely makes me even more eager for the movie to be released.

Living in a City Skyscrapper Penthouse

One of my fondest memory with the Fifty Shades trilogy is Escala, the gorgeous all glass walls looking out to the city Penthouse. In the BOSS THE SCENT short film, Anna Ewers was seen misting BOSS THE SCENT For Her fragrance. If I were in her shoes, with that beautiful scene in front of me, I could potentially misted half the bottle on myself!

City View Makes Every Problem Goes Away

Anna Ewers looking out the glass wall, to the city, lemming on life and what’s to come reminds me so much of Anastasia Steele from Fifty Shades Darker trailer 2. She was seen doing the same, probably wondering what will be next for her and what’s to come.

All The Gawking and Eye Contact

The part I like the most is the way Theo James and Anna Ewers looked at each other. Okay, gawking at each other. In most part Theo are gawking at Anna. It must be the perfume she had on, eh? All the intense eye contact is definitely Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. So intimidating!

The Leg Touch

You are probably thinking I am going sexier and sexier with this countdown. Seriously it is really sexy but subtly sexy comparing to Christian Grey touching Anastasia Steele’s leg in the Fifty Shades Darker trailer. Despite having a similar gesture, it is definitely a mild touch in the BOSS THE SCENT short film. WE WANT MORE!

Of Course, The Kisses!

You know this is coming. Yes, how can I miss out all the kissing from BOSS THE SCENT short film. There was already leg touching action so of course there are kissing as well. I like how the director show snippet of it instead of a full on kiss from Theo James to Anna Ewers. It creates a suspense to the audience. Pretty well thought off, I say.

To be fair, BOSS THE SCENT short film embodies closeness and touch. The film highlights six pulse points that is said to have the capabilities to enhance the power of a fragrance. Theo and Anna shows that BOSS THE SCENT fragrance emanates from body heat through these pulse points which makes them want to get close to each other for more.

How interesting it would be if BOSS THE SCENT short film are converted to a movie. Theo James and Anna Ewers could be the next Mr and Mrs Grey

Just when I started to get bored rotating between perfumes I had on my vanity table, this Hugo Boss BOSS THE SCENT For Her arrived my doorstep unexpectedly. Boy am I happy to see a new fragrance made available to our market. I have always love perfume and even reviewing perfume. You know what they say, the most difficult product to review is perfume. I like it because I like the challenge

One year ago, HUGO BOSS launched THE SCENT For Men. I wore the perfume for quite a bit before passing it over to my brother. It is one of his favourite perfume and the last I check, he is about to finish the whole big bottle! HUGO BOSS make really good fragrances. If you think they are good with just the men fragrance, then you are wrong. Their women fragrances are equally good.

Hugo Boss BOSS THE SCENT For Her is marketed as a seductive fragrance for women. I have to agree with the seductive part but all-in-one, this perfume is a sweet scent. My acceptance towards fruity perfume is not receptive as I am more leaning towards floral fragrances. However I find myself needing to wear this everyday since I got it. Now, this is a good fruity fragrance. Seductively fruity (and sweet)! In a good way

Scent Description

TOP NOTE: ATTRACTION
The fruity and floral Honeyed Peach and Freesia meet in an exquisite, head-turning combination that creates an irresistible attraction.

HEART NOTE: SEDUCTION
Warm and voluptuous heart notes of the oriental flower Osmanthus connect the top and base notes in an initially light and delicate allure that evolves into a darker, heady quality.

BASE NOTE: ADDICTION
Locked together and powerless to resist, the fragrance unleashes an irresistibly rich base note of Roasted Cocoa. An enigmatic element with strong hidden qualities, it offers an addictive boost that arouses the senses, making the protagonists relinquish control in the moment.

The scent however is pretty light, crisp and fresh. For an Eau de Parfum, that is unusual. It is so light that I have to shower myself with mists and mists just to be confirmed that I can smell the fragrance on myself. I say about six mists that I started to smell the scent on myself?

Let’s talk about the bottle. I love love loveeeee the champagne rose colour of the fragrance juice inside the glass bottle but the bottle flacon itself I am not a fan. It looked slightly manly for my liking. It took me a few days to accept the bottle as it is but then again, it is the fragrance itself that I love so I am going to look past the bottle lol. The bottle is actually designed by Jason Wu. Jason wanted to capture the juxtaposition of male and female elements hence you see a mixture of both gender on the design. No doubt it is somewhat sleek looking with sophisticated lines of the flacon that flow upwards and culminate in a precious cufflink-inspired jewel at the top – a feminine twist on the iconic BOSS cufflink. The idea is to implement the iconic BOSS cufflink design with a twist to get both male and female, fashion and fragrance identity merging as one. The cap however does not close down all the way tightly so grabbing the bottle by the cap is a definite no-no.

If you are into sexy, fruity, womanly, seductive scent, this is what you are looking for. I am not into sweet fruity scent but the sexiness in the note balance it out and transformed the fragrance into something else. It is seductive alright. A womanly sweet scent that is rare. Most womanly scent are more into confidence. This one? Sexy!

Taking freshness to the next level, this Spring HUGO will unleash HUGO Extreme – two new intensely uplifting and invigorating counterparts to its iconic and original HUGO MAN and HUGO WOMAN fragrances.

HUGO MAN Extreme

Bringing to life the power of an added boost of freshness is the vibrant print campaign shot by dynamic and renowned fashion and beauty photographer Benjamin Lennox. It embodies the lightness and energy delivered by HUGO Extreme, with both print executions complemented by a burst of effervescent bubbles. Expressing the energetic spirit of the fragrances, it creates an undeniably unique expression of refreshing confidence.

Scent Description

Captured in the iconic flask shaped flacon, the new eau de parfum brings the classic HUGO MAN to the next level with an intense contemporary twist. The scent opens with the iconic freshness of green apples, which has been intensified for maximum impact. As the fragrance develops, an enhanced aromatic heart of lavender, sage and geranium reveals its
modern side. A powerful and distinctive base of cedarwood and fir balsam anchors the scent. The power of HUGO MAN Extreme lies in the undeniable chemistry that unites each ingredient, resulting in an explosion of energising freshness. A scent for all those who want to live life on their own terms.

Adrien Sahores returns to star in the HUGO MAN Extreme campaign, which captures his unmistakable confidence and charisma enhanced by the boost of freshness HUGO Extreme gives him.

HUGO WOMAN Extreme

Freja Beha Erichsen resumes her role as the face of HUGO WOMAN Extreme, exuding confidence, femininity and genuine self-assurance, whilst radiating with a beautiful boost of freshness courtesy of the new revitalised fragrance.

Scent Description

HUGO WOMAN Extreme is the new counterpart to the iconic HUGO WOMAN fragrance. Its concentrated eau de parfum has an intense revitalising freshness lying at its heart. Irresistibly fruity and adventurously fresh top notes of flamboyant boysenberry juxtaposed with a daring dash of himalayan red grass compose the sparkling head accord.

As the scent unfolds, the power of the increased jasmine sambac liberates a white flower storm at the heart of the scent, delivering a refreshing boost when combined with revitalising black tea. Like a flower in full bloom, its natural beauty reveals itself over time for maximum impact. Rarely found at the base, the highly versatile oriental osmanthus flower adds a redefined sensuality with sophisticated notes that enhance the vibrant beauty of the other ingredients.
The scent is encapsulated in a pink shaped flacon reminiscent of lightness and freedom.
