CLARINS EAU DYNAMISANTE.

Advantages: Extremly beneficial plant extract oils.
Disadvantages: Not a particularly femine fragrance.

...~ CLARINS EAU DYNAMISANTE ~ Clarins Eau Dynamisante is a rather unique Eau de Toilette. I tend to go for the much lighter perfume normally, but this was a gift, and you know what they say...Don't look a gift horse...ahem... Eau Dynamisante is presented in a clear, deep, ruby red bottle, rather masculine in appearance, but expensive looking and sturdy. To the top you have a white lid with the word Clarins raised in gold, and gold banded to the bottom of the lid. The contents is 100 ml/3.4 FL.OZ. 77%VOL. Now this is rather an unusual fragrance, being both a perfume, and a skin treatment. It contains plant extracts to soften, energise, and hydrate the skin. It also firms, tones, and revitalises. This is quite an innovative range, and all the essential oils contained within this fragrance...

Review of Clarins Eau Dynamisante (CL064415) Eau de Toilette Spray

Eau so fresh!

Advantages: Very refreshing
Disadvantages: Too expensive

...items with no cost at all which does not affect their normal business, and the counters get lots of those and the whole purpose of the sample is to give the customer a reason to try and buy the item! I certainly would not spend lots of money on a product if I knew I would be happy with it in the first place. I therefore think that many companies could do more business if the ladies at the shops would be a little more generous rather than keep samples for themselves and their friends (like I have heard). Anyway, let's go back to the product now! PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The plant extracts present in the Eau Dynamisante Deodorant by Clarins have proven toning on the skin and invigorating on the mood, this because the whole range of the Eau Dynamisante is a blend of light, citrus notes (it contains orange and lemon extracts) which are...

Eau Dynamisante

Advantages: yum smell, good value, longlasting, moisturising
Disadvantages: if you don't like the smell, then you don't like the smell

...Eau Dynamisante Lovely. Comes in a satisfyingly chunky bottle, - just pop the lid off and allow the gentle spritzes to scent you all over. Despite being quite a girlie girl, I really love the musky, almost masculine scent of this spray. It’s very distinctive, and quite a few people (men) have complimented me when I’m wearing it. I think I read somewhere that it is actually a unisex scent, but whether for man or woman, it’s addictive. When you first spray it on, it may seem quite strong. But don’t worry – you really can spray it on like a moisturiser and a few minutes later, you’re just left with soft, subtly scented skin. It probably doesn’t last all day, which is a shame, but certainly a good few hours. Coming from the famous Clarins skincare family, it tries to live up to its...

Review of Clarins Body Butter Range

Why have cotton when you can have silk?

Advantages: Smell is nice and matches their perfume, not overly oily
Disadvantages: Soft skin effect doesn't last

...I was given this product to test when I decided to be a member of The Handbag Beauty Bible?s testing panel. Amongst other things, the book is aimed at people who want to make informed decisions before making expensive beauty purchases. I am one of these people so I was quite happy when I received an expensive looking Clarins body oil in my testing package. EAU DYNAMISANTE SATIN FINISH BODY OIL I love body oils, but not just any old one because some are really greasy. I can?t stand Johnson?s horribly greasy Baby oil, my favourite is Palmer?s Cocoa Butter moisturizing oil (chocolate scented!) This oil comes from the Eau Dynamisante range by Clarins, which is their aromatic range based around the matching fragrance. It is a relatively new addition to the Clarins range which claims to promote soft smooth and more toned skin...

Review of Clarins Eau Dynamisante Satin Finish Body Oil Spray

Dynamic and relaxing - the perfect combination

Advantages: No alcohol - great for sensitive skin
Disadvantages: None really

...trigger works the other way much more frequently. Anyway, this morning was one of these dull, grey days when I wished I could stay snug as a bug with an electric rug (see previous review) but unfortunately I DID have to get up and go to the doc for a blood test. So I got ready and before throwing on some clothes grabbed for the first scent bottle that came within reach on my dressing table - Clarins Eau Dynamisante Invigorating Fragrance - took off the top, sprayed liberally all over and wooooosh, was transported instantly back to a sunny, warm Chicago in June, not a cloud in the sky, a nice breeze coming off the Lake, sitting outside watching my best friend conduct his orchestra... Such a happy, positive image that it sent me out the house to face the blood-letting with a smile on my face and a warm glow inside! So it seemed a good...

L'Eau No!

Advantages: Lasts well, versatile, intriguing smell
Disadvantages: Strong

...feel. Amongst my assortment is a bottle of Issey Miyake's "L'Eau D'Issey for Men", which found it's way into the collection on a trip when I'd forgotten to pack any after-shave so picked something up in duty-free that I didn't have already. Initially I was tempted by the fact that it is available in travel-sized bottles that would easily fit into a wash-bag and look very resistant to the knocks, bumps and scrapes of baggage handling, but the price of these soon put me off, a 75ml bottle baing less than half as much again for more than twice as much volume. So I took the plunge and bought a big, tapered, frosted glass wedge of a bottle and stuck it in my hand luggage. It's a moderately sized bottle, standing approximately 16 cm tall with a silver plastic lid covering the top 3rd of the bottle and the atomiser. The atomiser itself has...

Review of Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey Homme Eau de Toilette Spray

Semi-skimmed body milk for summer skin

Advantages: Great for sensitive skin, quickly absorbed, soothing/smoothing
Disadvantages: Not as effective during winter

...central heating; cold winds outside during the winter; hot humid weather in the summer; aggressive air-conditioning in planes and other warm places and so on. If I let my skin dry out for any length of time, it seems to make it more likely to react badly by getting red patches, flaking dry skin, irritations/spots and the like. Not particularly nice at all. The best way of beating this is to keep my skin really well moisturised. Once I was introduced to Clarins products through one of my best friends in Vienna, it wasn't long before I tried out the Clarins Eau Dynamisante fragrance (see previous review) and having had a lot of success with that product I was lucky enough to take advantage of one of Clarins' very regular promotions where if you buy a certain number of items you get some smaller sized free gifts from the same range. This...

CHRISTIAN DIOR - EAU SAUVAGE

Advantages: An expensive smell
Disadvantages: Cologne type fragrance.

...--- CHRISTIAN DIOR EAU SAUVAGE.--- Eau Sauvage Eau de Toilette comes in a rather nice bottle. It has swirly ridges all around the glass. To the middle it has a silver band with the Eau Sauvage written in black writing, along with the maker Christian Dior, Paris. To the reverse you have the weight of 50 ml and parfums Christian Dior Paris. Made in France. The lid is silver and mottled in effect, which is also on the silver band around the centre of the bottle. This is a good quality bottle, as you would expect from a top fashion house such as Christian Dior. Very distinctive, and it is a nice bottle to keep once the after shave has run out. Perfume bottles are highly collectable and it would be worth keeping good ones such as these, as they appreciate in value greatly. Christian Dior do an impressive...

Review of Christian Dior Eau Sauvage Eau De Toilette Spray

Eau, I smell so fresh!

Advantages: Rounder, more intense than Eau de Cartier
Disadvantages: May be too intense for some

...Launched: 2002 Group: woody aromatic :: Introduction :: Eau de Cartier Concentree - Cartier's addition to its Eau de Cartier launched in 2001 - isn't just simply a concentrated version of Eau de Cartier. Although there are similarities between the two eau de toilettes, different notes are emphasised in their composition which gives an altogether unique feel to both colognes. :: The packaging :: The bottle only differs in colour from the original Eau de Cartier the outer box holding it is still white and grey. The clear cylindrical glass has a green tint and nozzle on the top. As there's no cap, the bottle opens by turning the disc underneath the nozzle downwards. To lock the nozzle, turn the disc upwards. This unusual opening mechanism gives a nice elegant touch to the design. No fiddling with or losing the cap, the bottle...

Eau premiere - the first and also the last

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything

...Launched: 2008 Group: Floral aldehyde Introduction I've recently got a sample of this fragrance from the Chanel counter in Debenhams, London. I was intrigued by the prospect of trying a marketedly 'lighter and fresher' version of the old Chanel No.5 classic. Not being a fan of aldehydic chypre fragrances I've never worn Chanel but I appreciate fine perfumes regardless of what group they belong to. The bottle The packaging is the minimalist black on white, stylish and very similar to the existing Chanel range. The fragrance bottle is chunky, square with a square lid and a thick, heavy bottom. The fragrance itself has a pink tinge as opposed to the yellow No.5. The fragrance Top notes: aldehydes, neroli, ylang-ylang, bergamot, lemon The opening notes of Eau Premiere are the well-known classic notes...
