Perfume review 1

My shopping habit is basically seasonal... The latest season is perfume. I bought 2 miniatures boxes because of the price and also because people are raving how good the smell is (mudah terpengaruh) I end up hating the one that people said the best smell.. I'm not going to describe the smells in detail. I'm not good at it. I just know sedap or tak sedap je. For the notes, u can check fragrantica.com 

Now, I'm a bit smarter. I try to look out for vials whether online or Giant supermarket (there's one perfume booth) if I can sniff at the booth, I can easily reject the ones that I don't like. But if I can't find it there, I have to buy the vials online. Usually through shopee. 

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue. I'm not sure how many types of light blue in the market. But this is the one I found at Giant. The smell is fresh, reminds u of the beach. I was sceptical at first but turns out to be OK. Would wear this going for a jog haha. 

Chanel Chance Eau Vive. Bought this from online seller (ig) I was looking for chance (not knowing there are 3 different types). Just OK for me

Coco Mademoiselle. Bought from the same seller as eau vive. I fell in lurve with this. The counter price is a Bomb! I managed to find a shopping channel and got a 100ml bottle at sale price (because I bought 2 items that time) I was afraid it might be a dupe or scam.. When I checked the serial number, it was legit. Unfortunately, I may not repeat from the same seller as I had bad experience with another item. 

Chanel Chance Eau Tendre. This is also another chanel that I lurve. Floral smell. I really need to start saving to buy a full size bottle. 

Chanel Gabrielle. It has almost the same scent as mademoiselle. Mademoiselle is more citrusy but this one more floral. After couple of hours, the smell is so nice 

Chanel No 5. This smell is quite funny for me actually. I don't know whether it's my nose or something but I think it smells like deodorant 

Chanel No 5 Leau. Not as bad as No 5..smells powdery or like baby talcum and old perfume haha.. Not gonna repeat 

Marc Jacobs Divine Decadence. Many have been raving about MJ Decadence in groups.. I must admit the bottle looks posh. The smell is quite soft (if spray just enough). People describe the smell as "bau perempuan arab kaya" Hahaha tak pernah pulak aku bau orang arab. OK la but not something I prefer

Dolce & Gabbana Dolce. Refreshing floral fragrance. Love jugak yang ni. But not long lasting on me

Gucci Guilty Absolute Pour Femme. This is something that I won't buy again. The smell of blackberry is just too strong for me. So bad coz I love Gucci Guilty so MUCH that I have bought my second bottle even though the first one is not finish yet *_^

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream. Quite like this one. So I ordered a miniature from shopee. 

Ralph Lauren Midnight Romance. Lurve lurve lurve. This smell is so subtle, suits its name.. Very romantic. I like to put this on before going to bed hahaha. This is more of a night perfume.. Personal opinion. 

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Bloom. Strong floral smell. Lucky I didn't blind buy because of the bottle. 

Mont Blanc Signature. For me, this is musky. I can't really detect the floral-ness. So sad.. The bottle is pretty

Lancome Idole. This one is not that bad and not that good either when I just sprayed it. The smell reminds me of Miracle. After couple of hours, the smell is very soft, floral. Quite nice. 

Marc Jacobs Perfect.The bottle tempted me to buy. But when I test this, I like it but not that much to buy a bottle. 

Dolce & Gabbana The Only One. I had headache when I sprayed this before bed last night. It's one of those smell that I can't stand. Maybe I sprayed to much. There's nothing floral for me

Jean Paul Gaultier Classique. I don't like this. I read it has hint of rose (which I don't favour in a perfume) and amber wood (no idea what that is) 

Coach Dreams. For me, the floral smell is strong (bau menyucuk hidung gitu) right after spraying (the smell is like frangipani flower) . After a while, the smell is soft and quite nice 

Paco Rabanne Lady Million. Floral. Don't like it.

Hugo Boss The Scent Absolute. When I sniffed this at the shop, it was OK. When I wore it, suddenly the smell was quite strong. I don't like it a bit coz I feel so "manly" wearing this


There'll be more perfume review coming coz I haven't review the miniatures and I just ordered another 6 vials from Shopee. Hahaha bear with me. I know the review is not helping pun. But you should not blind buy just because others say it's nice, this is wangi, this is perfume for manja2...Banyak yang hampeh for me. Well, maybe there's something wrong with me since eveyone else says it's OK. Make sure you test it on your skin before buying and test when your mood is ok (I read somewhere)
