Re-do the Review: Royal Revolution edp, by Katy Perry...

Royal Revolution was released in 2014 and developer Coty describes it as "an irresistible floral fragrance inspired by the beauty of blue diamond."

Royal Revolution was a fragrance that I reviewed when it was released back in 2014, after spending several weeks testing it in stores and obtaining those little tester vials to test it further at home. 

Fast forward to 2022 when I was gifted a bottle for Easter and have consequently decided that my older review doesn't really align with my present-day feelings on the fragrance & I'm not thrilled with my older review-writing skills.

Anyway; I've decided to delete the old review and rewrite it, seeing that you can still buy Royal Revolution today online & in various outlet stores at low prices...

Is this THE perfect blend of vanilla & coconut??? [reviewing Utopia Vanilla Coco | 21 edp, by Kayali]

"A warm, luxurious, sensual, and truly irresistible fragrance"

Perfume house Kayali, founded by Huda Beauty launched Utopia Vanilla Coco| 21 during the covid lockdown. Mona Kattan (Huda's sister) wanted to make a sun-drenched, solar perfume that would transport you to your dream destination and "fill you with a euphoric sense of vacation", after the global lockdown prevented travel and everyone felt trapped.

That description instantly sold me on Utopia, when I read it when scrolling though Instagram during the covid lockdown, so I instantly ordered a bottle, without waiting until I could try it.

Did it transport me away to a magical land?

Spinning around [reviewing Darling 2021 edp, by Kylie Mnogue]...

“Darling holds a special place in my heart. I’m so happy to be able to share this beautiful scent with my fans once more.” - Kylie Minogue 

The original Darling was launched to great success in 2006 and with Kylie’s continued success, it is no surprise that Darling is making a comeback.

The bottle and pack design reimagine the original through a modern lens, a shimmery pink, sleek shape with a lace-textured cap and all the glamour of the original. Perfumer Ilias Eremendis captured the beauty of the original scent architecture but in a modern, vegan formula.

Darling is a floral fragrance as thrilling as the pop darling who inspired it...

I was a huge Kylie fan through her Parlophone era, and I remember Darling really well; it was an edt and a had really poor aura  & very weak longevity, but I convinced myself that it was great and went through several bottles really quickly, as you practically had to bathe in the stuff and reapply it every couple of hours. As a result of the poor longevity & weak aura, I wouldn't detect much, other than passion fruit, vanilla and sandalwood.

Fast forward to 2022, when I discovered that Darling had been re-released last year, in a new edp formula; I was actually really excited to receive my online order, and started the testing & note-taking period immediately upon receiving it.

I'm expecting to discover a whole new fragrance, as a more intense formulation & improved longevity should help me to separate more individual notes. Ready to find out how it went?

Speedy Review: Fleur Fatale edp, by Kim Kardashian...

 Fleur Fatale edp by Kim Kardashian, was released in September 2014 [her original line of fragrances has nothing to do with her KKW fragrance company]. Fleur Fatale was announced as being a "captivating, feminine and sensual composition of floral, woody and musk notes."

I've always been aware of Fleur Fatele and the notes sounded really agreeable to me, however none of her earlier perfumes rocked my boat so I wasn't in a rush to try it & then this perfume didn't sick around long in stores, so I took it as a sign and didn't bother tracking it down.

However I recently saw a eBay auction for a 30ml bottle & fragranced body lotion combo that had nearly ended, so I decided to try my luck as it was only a few pounds - if I enjoy it I can then pick up a 100ml bottle for under £20. As you can easily find Fleur Fatale on eBay stores, Amazon and perfume outlet sites, I wanted to share my thoughts on here...

Speedy review; RiRi edp, by Rihanna..

 Rihanna launched her feminine fragrance RiRi back in the late summer of 2015...

I bought my bottle of RiRi a while ago and sort of forgot about it, but then a few weeks ago I noticed that the pink juice had faded, so have been wearing it again to see if the scent had changed too (it hasn't 😊).

As RiRi is still easy for people to find online today, I thought I'd share a few of my thoughts about it, so people who are looking for a affordable fragrance can decide if it sounds like something that they'd enjoy...
