The Lo Down - Victoria's Secret Secret Charm Fragrance Mist

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I'm a big fan of Victoria's Secret body mists. I wish it was easier to get the full range of Victoria's Secret products in Ireland but if the rumours or signage are anything to go by they are opening a store on Grafton Street very soon. I know exciting times ly ahead. Fragrance mists from the brand have also been popping up in pharmacies all over Ireland at pretty affordable prices which is great too.

I bought some fragrances when I was in Manchester and I've gotten gifts from parents from holidays to Spain aswell, so yeah I can't get enough of this beautiful brand. My favourite scent is Secret Charm a soft fruity fragrance and of course my favourite colour is purple so I love this. I actually got this from my parents for Christmas so I was delighted. The packaging on these mists have also changed recently and I really like the new look, it makes them look more luxurious. I've yet to see it in minis though.

For €12.95, I think this is great value. There's so many scents to choose from I have about four but I haven't tried any others yet but if I do I'll be sure to let you know. I do really like Love Spell aswell it's another beautiful scent. These fragrance mists are a great alternative to splashing the cash on pricier perfumes.

What's your favourite Victoria's Secret scent?

The Lo Down - Charlotte Tilbury Scent of a Dream

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Fragrance is such a personal thing I used to work in Molton Brown and it was so hard to choose a scent out for customers for gifts as you and they might like one scent but the person that they are buying the gift for might like something totally different. Sometimes I think its better to get little tester sample sizes before you make the plunge into buying an expensive perfume.

Scent of a dream was released last year and it is the first Charlotte Tilbury fragrance. It is quite a unusual scent  which I haven't smelled anything like yet. I like it though. The fragrance has top notes of Lemon, Peach and Black Pepper, middle notes of  Jasmine, Frankincense, Tuberose and Violet and the base notes are Fire Tree, Iso E Super, Patchouli and Ambroxan. A mix that I'm going to be honest I hadn't heard of most of the notes from before but they work together well. Only a few spritzes goes a very long way which means that you should make sure not to spray too much. This scent smells amazing when it's applied right though. I love the packaging on this product its so precious and luxurious and it looks pretty beautiful on my makeup shelf. I'm actually wearing this scent tonight for my birthday dinner because I just like it soo much!

For €89 this is on the pricier side of fragrances so it's on the more expensive side of fragrances I would usually go for. If your in the market for the new scent I'd recommend going to your local Charlotte Tilbury counter and asking for a sample as I'm sure they would oblige. If it is a fragrance you like you should treat yourself you won't be disappointed. I'm really happy with this fragrance launch from Charlotte Tilbury and I hope it won't be there last either.

Have you tried this scent? What did you think?
