Are sunny days coming? [reviewing Far Away Endless Sun edp, by Avon]

 Radiate from the moment you rise 

Escape to a moment of radiance when you spritz the floral, fruity and citrus fragrance onto your pulse points.

It's that time again - a new Far Away flanker is upon us.

I'm actually more excited to try this one compared to other ones in the past... and I always look forward to trying the flankers; it's meant to be richer in fruity notes & lighter in florals, and people who tried it prior to the general release say that it is one of the flankers that is greatly removed from the original Far Away. Every key scent note that Avon list is one that I enjoy and something that is less tied to the original Far Away sounds exciting, so yeah, I'm expecting great things.

Bubble blooms? [reviewing Tease Sugar Fleur edp, by Victoria's Secret]

Get swept away in a floral candy dream

I'm not a huge follower of the Victoria's Secret Tease fragrance line - I had the original Tease years ago and used my entire bottle happily enough, but never replaced it as it is nothing wildly unique. I have liked a few of the Tease flankers more than the original, whenever I've happened to come across them over the years.

I'd actually gone to the store to retest Crème Cloud, which is a flanker that I really enjoyed the couple of times that I 'd tried it, and was probably going to buy. However I stumbled across this new springtime flanker and had to give it a try....

Did this tempt me more, or did I stick to my original mission of obtaining Creme Cloud?

Is Blush the ace face? [reviewing Mod Blush edp, by Ariana Grande]

                   Modern. Sensual. Disruptive - introducing Ariana Grande MOD, 

                                                the new fragrance collection. 

                  

Choose to be an original with MOD, the new fragrance collection from Ariana Grande. A new, elevated collection that celebra4tes both the power of duality and the intoxicating freedom of expression. Innovative and sexy, the new fragrance duo of Mod Vanilla and Mod Blush create an intimate yet powerful experience.

Intoxicating and sensual, MOD Blush opens with a rich blend of fruits, energized by sparkling pink pepper to create an alluring introduction.

The intriguing heart is a luxurious floral blend, accented with a touch of pear for a breathtaking evolution on skin.

A seductive dry down leaves an INTIMATE AND SUPPORTIVE luxurious impression.

As someone who loves vanilla, coconut, orris, and praline, Mod Vanilla was the half of the Mod duo that I had been looking forward to getting the most, but ultimately I was left underwhelmed by just how similar the fragrance is to a couple of previous Ariana Grande fragrance releases.

I couldn't find the Mod perfumes in any shops around me to test them, so I ended up buying them blind when the Superdrug site had a price offer on, and Mod Vanilla left me kicking myself for not waiting to test before buying [to be fair to me, Mod Vanilla is still not available in any stores near me].

Here's hoping that Mod Blush can make up for Mod Vanilla, and make me feel that I haven't totally wasted my money...

Expressive And Vibrant, Mod Vanilla Opens With A Luscious Blend Of Fruit, Heightened By A Luminous Touch Of Pink Freesia.

The Touch Of Gourmand Is Heightened To A Truly Sophisticated Level With A Heart Of Orris Butter.

Indulgent And Upcycled Cocoa Butter Introduce A Layer Of Beautiful Complexity, Unveiling The Fragrance's Addictive And Unforgettable Signature.

After the delight of Cloud 2.0, I've been looking forward to the next Ariana Grande perfume release and here we are, with not one but two. 

I'm going to start my reviews with the one that is proving to be the most popular, going by empty store displays and the amount of customer reviews everywhere - Mod Vanila. 

I've already fallen for the anathetics for the Mod duo, but will the actual fragrances live up to the expectation that this has given me?

Your Disco Darling needs you... [reviewing Disco Darling edp, by Kylie minogue]

 As the sun goes down on the scent of Darling, its alter ego, Disco Darling, makes an entrance, swapping stage for dance floor, and day for night. 

 

 

Dizzying lights sparkle with bergamot and cassis, as the beat gets under your skin, blossoming. A slide into musky seduction takes you on until dawn.

The reformulated version of Darling is much nicer than I remember the original edt edition from Coty being, so I couldn't resist picking up Kylie's new fragrance when The Perfume Shop had a special offer on the introductory giftset at the end of November, to see what else they can do...

Is Disco Darling going to be a totally new fragrance, or maybe a throwback to one of the original Darling flankers [Sweet Darling, Sexy Darling & Dazzling Darling]? Either way, is it worth picking up a bottle, or is the reformulated Darling a one hit wonder of a comeback?
