A well-crafted floral citrus cocktail of scents that’ll stir up your senses... 
 

Ready to embrace the unexpected? Meet Perfect Nonsense Bamboozie Cocktail Eau de Parfum - a scent collision that defies all fragrance norms.

This floral citrus mix perfectly blends gin’s zesty juniper and citrus energy with bamboo’s calm and earthy vibe for a sparkling cocktail that’ll bamboozle all your senses.

Raise your glass to this charming cocktail… it’s serving scents that makes no sense yet arouse every sense, straight up… and we’re here for it!

Cheers!


After fragrance sellouts, order mixups and continued problems with my sense of smell, I'm finally ready to get back into testing Avon's new Perfect Nonsense fragrance trio.

Today I'm focusing on the fragrance which I thought sounded the most interesting & complex, and would be my favourite out of the bunch, based on reading the scent notes. Take a bow Bamboozie Cocktail 🍸

Did I guess right?

Rise up; Kylash Volume mascara, by Kylie Cosmetics.

"get lifted, defined, and fuller lashes with my kylash volume mascara. featuring a clean and vegan formula that doesn’t compromise on performance, this mascara provides volume, length and holds curl" - Kylie jenner

 



Sephora recently arrived to the UK and one of the handful of stores is in reasonable distance to where I live, so I envisioned feasting on Tarte & Rare Beauty macaras, but nope - I'm on my second tube of Kylash and have just bought my third, to be ready for when my current one is finished/expired.

Allow  me to sum up why this has become my new favourite...

Speedy review: GHOST Orb of Night edp, by GHOST...

 Possess the magic of nature’s most transformative moments: sundown and sunrise. Orb of Night breathes life into the new day.... 

The moon. The sun. Opposites in perfect harmony, sharing the canopy. Embracing their time to illuminate. Silent moments unveil the light. Romance is revealed in soft focus as the Orb of Night descends and a passionate sun rises once more. A time to escape and connect. The sky mesmerises. The depths of night quietly greet the possibilities of morning. Calm energy wraps the air, pure and all-consuming. Feel deeply. Let the warmth charge your soul.

An alluring cherry-almond flirts with a beating heart of treasured ethereal florals. Caramel melts upon a base of warm sandalwood signalling nocturnal riches. Intriguing orange blossom gently layers delicate white musk.

The original GHOST perfume is hands down my longest-term favourite fragrance and I've also really enjoyed several of the brand's other fragrances too, so knowing that this contains cherry notes was like a siren's song to me...

Speedy review: Ghost edt, by GHOST........

Understated, yet gloriously feminine and a true modern classic. 

Ghost the Fragrance is a seamless blend of cool elegance and unexpected warmth, timeless and pure. Silky top notes of Casablanca lily, white rose and Indian ambrette seed are heightened with smoked incense, jasmine and sandalwood. The base notes of spiced amber, musk and vanilla orchid give a relaxed intimacy.

This is one of those "I was sure that I'd already reviewed this" posts...

I bought a bottle of Ghost when it launched in my teens [the name alone interested me] and I still wear it now I'm in my 40s, so it is something that I feel deserves a shout out.

Hot Fuzz... [reviewing Perfect Nonsense Peppery Peaches edp, by Avon]

 A cheerful floral fruity burst for a fragrant adventure that’s as lively as you are...

Ready to embrace the unexpected? Meet Perfect Nonsense Peppery Peaches Eau de Parfum - a scent collision that defies all fragrance norms.

This floral fruity fusion’s got pink peppercorn coming in hot with a fiery kick that’ll have your spine buzzing, then BAM… peach enters the chat with its fresh and juicy vibe.

Don’t sleep on sensory plot twists like this one… it’s giving scents that makes no sense yet arouse every sense… and we’re here for it!


 I'm really excited to finally get to tuck in to Avon's new line 'Perfect Nonsense', which currently contains three fragrances. The fragrances are formed around clashing key scent notes; everything screams, energy,  uniqueness, and that a modern approach is being used.  

Peppery Peaches was the first fragrance in the line that I received [I ordered them all together from my Avon seller upon seeing that they were available in the UK, but the other two were already out of stock], so that will be my starting point for my reviews...
