Hi everyone!
I've mentioned a few times that I have a twin sister. We're very close and do a lot of things together. We also share a lot of things like clothes, shoes, bags etc and also perfume! So continuing on from my previous perfume collection post, I thought I'd do a quick review of the perfumes in her collection as well.
L-R: Moschino Couture (back); Cacharel Scarlett (front); DKNY Delicious Night (top); Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb (bottom); Gucci Envy Me (back); Salvador Dali Purple Lips (front); Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy; Cacharel Liberté; YSL Young Sexy Lovely (top); DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom (bottom); DKNY Be Delicious (top); DKNY Delicious Candy Apples Sweet Caramel (bottom)
I've already reviewed Flowerbomb, Viva La Juicy and Young Sexy Lovely in my original perfume collection post so I won't repeat myself! Feel free to read back over the original post if you are interested in my thoughts on these fragrances.
As you can see, my sister is quite fond of the DKNY Delicious fragrances. In fact, if I recall correctly, Be Delicious (the original one) was her first real "grown up" perfume, a Christmas present from our parents a few years ago. So I guess I should start with these.
Be Delicious is a nice light fragrance with a very fruity note to it. It's quite crisp and fresh so it's perfect for hot Summer days when you want a fragrance that is not too heavy.
She describes Fresh Blossom as one of her favourites. It is more floral than the original with a strong scent of rose, but still very light and great for everyday wear as well.
Delicious Night is a much spicier, heavier fragrance which is great for night-time wear.
Finally, Candy Apples Sweet Caramel is a warmer version of the original with notes of vanilla and caramel. This is quite sweet, but still light enough for everyday wear.
She also has a few Cacharel perfumes. I know most people probably think of Anais Anais (and their grandma!!) when they think of Cacharel, but Liberté and Scarlett are much younger fragrances suited for younger ladies and they are certainly very affordable.
Liberté is quite floral and citrus-y to begin with but dries on the skin to reveal soft vanilla and patchouli undertones. Light enough for everyday wear.
Scarlett is an interesting fragrance, combining fruity orange blossom and woody sandalwood for a great everyday perfume. The bottle of Scarlett is gorgeous too! I'm told this was a steal for only $16!!
Purple Lips by Salvador Dali opens with a strong scent of violet and dries with notes of sandalwood and musk. This is a more wintery fragrance but still light enough for everyday wear.
Gucci Envy Me is a nice sweet, floral which is suited for day wear in Summer. I think the bottle design of this is really cute too!
Finally, we have Moschino Couture, which is quite a heavy, spicy fragrance with strong hints of vanilla and bergamot. She recommends this for daywear in Winter time.
Sometimes, the thing I love most about perfumes is the bottle design....so here are a few from my sister's collection.
