Perfumista

It's a midterm week where everyone will struggle hard to get the 15% (did I hear any swear words?) marks. Sounds pathetic but this is the truth that happens in my university. New Dean, new policy (haihz). However, it never stops me thinking of shopping. ;p. As usual my partner-in-crime Ms. Donna the Knox aka Khidir ;p, went for the so-called just bank-in, which is at the end, unintentionally became the retail therapy for us. At first, it was me who want to buy the new perfume (I'm a perfume-freak collector). End up, I just tested 14 perfumes and i bought none of the one that I've tested. I was looking for the M By Mariah perfume, but too bad, it never suits my smell's sense as I don't like the musky-typed smell. As I've tested several perfumes, I wanted to make the recommendation / vote for the perfume of my choice. ** It is a personal survey/opinion/recommendation made by me, so no offense guys. This is the free country, plus it is my own review. The perfumes of the choice will be the top 5, while the others might be some of the rotten tomatoes - rephrase 'for reference only' ;p
The Splurge,steal it perfumes
1. Flight of Fancy By Anna Sui This is one of my top choice and is rated as 5 out of 5 for the fruity-yet-sweet smell EDT. Recommended & worth for your money too.
2. Just Me By Paris Hilton Perhaps the best scent by Paris Hilton. It's sweet, luxurious feeling makes you want to spray it more and more. (5 out of 5) 3. Smile By Avon This is my first budget fancy perfumes that I used when I was young. Recommended by my mom, I like the sweet-fruity-tangy orange scented works well with my sense. (5 out of 5) 4. Invent Your Scents By The Body Shop - Rougeberry + Aztique I guess I'm a fruity person as I can't get enough of the sweet-fruity scents. This EDT is one of my choices for the casual use. It makes me relax yet gives me the 'chic' feeling. (4 out 5) 5.Guess (Pink) I like the Pink Guess as it is less musky than the Gold Guess. It's smooth, sweet smells leaves an elegant feeling. (4 out 5) The 'Reconsider-to-buy perfumes 1. Code For Women By Giorgio Armani Its quite-nice scent suitable for the evening outing/dinner. Plus, this purple + flowery motives attracts me to smell. 3 out of 5. 2.Guess Gold This is commonly used by women out there, which makes me think twice to buy it. It's a strong-smell perfume and quite popular. So,you don't have to guess it if I wanted to buy it or not. The answer is NO. 3 out of 5 3. Heiress By Paris Hilton Ok, it's not because I'm an avid fan of Paris Hilton. It just how people like me wanted to be like her ;p. The smell is just nice. Sweet musky perhaps not my choice but this one is a good-to-reconsider to buy as you'll find it smells nicer after few hours. 3 out of 5 4. Shine By Incanto This 'Flight of Fancy' wannabe smells good though. I might reconsider to buy this perfume if there's no other choice. 3 out of 5 5. Glow in the Dark By J.Lo Nice packaging,seductive and glamour are the main attractions why people would like to buy it. But when it comes to the smell-testing, I put it the rate 3 as I think it smells less J.Loed to me. Ideal for dinner. 6. Be delicious & Red delicious by DKNY Ok, I don't find any specialty in the scents. To me it just an ordinary scents, thanks to its nice packaging. 3 out of 5 as I'm not enthusiast with its smell The Must-Not-Try-unless-you-are-the-ardent-fan perfume 1. M By Mariah I hate musky -typed of scents. J.Lo would be glad to hear this. :( 2 out of 5 2.Fantasy By Britney Spears Ok. Enough said, I just don't like the too much musky scents. 2 out of 5 3.Midnight Fantasy By Britney Spears Somebody need to stop her producing fragrances. It's total fail. 2 out of 5 4. Darling By Kylie Minogue Nice try darling. you need to try harder. 2 out of 5 5. Aigner Pour Homme I smell and smell it till my nose fill numb and can't get rid off the musky smell. I'm not a musk-musk person. Sorry, not my choice. 1 out of 5 6. Jean Paul Gautier One word to describe this, awkful. 1 out of 5
