Speedy review; SJP NYC edp, by Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker NYC Eau de Parfum, the new version of the original SJP NYC Eau de Toilette from 2009, came out at the beginning of 2016. The fragrance is inspired by the character of Carrie Bradshaw from the TV series Sex and the City, played by Sarah Jessica Parker...

This adventurous fragrance thrills the senses with a concentrated cocktail of floral, fruity, musky notes. Energetic, exciting and sexy, SJP NYC is both vivid and vivacious and it is the ultimate style statement in fragrance.

I recently saw that the edp variant of SJP NYC is available at Superdrug [online & app] for only £16, so I wanted to give a short summary of my current thoughts on this past favourite - time for a backup purchase, or time to move on?

Gimme the candy... [reviewing Candied Fantasy edt, by Britney Spears]

Introducing the newest member to the Fantasy line-up! The new Candied Fantasy is a floral, gourmand fragrance made for the elegant yet unique ladies like Spears herself who enjoys the sweet moments in life.



The fragrance begins with Bubblegum Delight and sparkling fruit that add a sweet, refreshing blast, while Pink Hibiscus and Lily of the Valley bring a heady floral dimension to the composition and engulf the wearer in a graceful hug. The coziness of Pink Velvet Cupcake Accord provides a powerful, yet comforting and sensual base that guarantees extra longevity.

I didn't notice any spring or summer Fantasy releases, but heres a new flanker release in time for autumn. Here's hoping that the release schedule has slowed down a bit because more thought & care is being put into the line again, because the quality had been slipping in the past few Fantasy flankers.

I'm hoping that Candied Fantasy will be along the lines of what I wanted Vanilla Candy to be. Fingers crossed...
