The Perfume of a Princess!

Advantages: Smells Very Distinctive, Long Lasting, Beautiful Bottle, Very Feminine
Disadvantages: May be too sweet and floral for some

...One of my favourite things to treat myself to is perfume and those who have read my earlier reviews will know that I am a self confessed perfume addict. I love the different varieties you can buy all with their own distinctive scents and pretty bottles. I have worked hard at my perfume addiction though and have really cut back on the amount that I buy ? these days I adopt a one in one out rule as I started getting far too many bottles of half used fragrances sat in my wardrobe (any perfume lover knows that you keep bottles out of daylight to keep them smelling fresh). Before we went on honeymoon I used up a couple of bottles of perfume and so I decided to treat myself to something new rather than buy a replacement for the fragrances that I just finished from the duty free shop at the airport. I had already been and tested a few...

Review of Vera Wang Princess Perfume

The Princess and the Perfume

Advantages: Light and delicate scent, sexy
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive

...If you've already read my Vera Wang Princess Satiny Body Lotion review, you will know I recieved this perfume along with the gift set from my boyfriend for my Birthday last November. And as promised, I said I would write a review about the Vera Wang Princess perfume, so here I am now. Vera Wang, if you haven't heard of her, is a lady from New York. At frist she was an editor for Vogue magazine,then going on to do other things. She started designing dresses for celebrities and now owns her own Wedding Dress collection. She has her own Vera Wang accessorie collection and more importantly her own fragrance collection, including more scents than just the Princess collection. As the story goes, Vera Wang Princess collection is a new spirit in fragrance, inspired by a modern-day princess. Confident, indipendent, with a total zest...

Review of Vera Wang Princess Perfume

Where's The Fragrance?

Advantages: Attractive.
Disadvantages: Very disappointing - lack of fragrance!

...or indeed even a normal match, it's just too low down! There is therefore a very thick, waste of wax from the top of the glass, around the wick to where it is burned down to at this stage and I loathe waste!! ~ The Smell ~ I was really looking forward to the warm, wintery smell of the nutmeg and I am not averse to pomegranate although not really an expert on the scent given by a pomegranate so I couldn't wait to have my room filled with these fragrances. On opening the packaging, I was a little disappointed, not a strong smell of either of these products but I had high hopes for when it was lit. I like my scented candles to mask the smells that can sometimes develop in a room during the winter months when the windows and doors aren't opened as regularly as I would like but this just doesn't do it for me. Even when lit there isn...

Review of Next Pomegranate and Nutmeg Fragranced Candle

Hotel International

Advantages: Location, breakfasts
Disadvantages: Poor rooms

...I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights. LOCATION: The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal. PRICE: Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time...

Review of Hotel International, Paris

Perfume -Compelling Cinematography

Advantages: Haunting visual and sound effects.
Disadvantages: None

...born without a body odour, and it is perhaps his own lack of a scent that stokes his obsession with odours. At the age of 13, Jean-Baptiste is cruelly sold to a tannery, where he spends his days surrounded by the foulest of smells. Luckily for him, he is one day sent on an errand in town, and it is there that he discovers the most intoxicating scent... that of perfume. Managing to become the apprentice of a renowned perfumer, he quickly learns the trade and eventually surpasses the genius of his master. In his pursuit of the perfect perfume, Jean-Baptiste comes across a beautiful young woman in the streets of Paris, and is seduced by her scent. The natural fragrance of a beautiful woman is intoxicating, and in a desperate need to capture it, he will resort to murder. His murderous obsession with scent, and his desperate need to...

Review of Perfume - The Story Of A Murderer (DVD)

Bratty perfume from the bratty mother!

Advantages: A nice set for someone else's child!
Disadvantages: Not my idea of a young girls set!

...Ok I am officially a horrible person! Every year we (myself, my daughter, her school friends and there parents), attend the Easter bingo at her school. This year was no different! A group of us went and as usual commandeered a table and settled down to a fun night! During the final throws of the evening (the raffle!), my friends daughter and my daughters best friend Courtney handed me her perfume to smell, (these bloody kids are more like teenagers, scary considering they are only 7!), I pulled at the lid thinking that was the way it opened, only to be told it was a screw lid, about five seconds after I had snapped the top of the bottle off! I felt so bad about it, especially when the girls eyes watered slightly, that I promised to buy a replacement bottle?. Hence this review! The product I will now review is ?Bratz...

Review of Bratz Perfume

Norbreck Castle Hotel

Advantages: Out of the town
Disadvantages: Too many people!

...I'm glad that I did not get to read any of the reviews before I went to this hotel, or see the Holidays from Hell programme the night before! The hotel can be found along the seafront, about three miles from the main centre of Blackpool, heading out towards Fleetwood. It is now under the Britannia hotels group and it is easily accessible by tram and bus. We used the trams the whole time instead of me driving all the time. My husband, my two youngest children and myself went last week for a couple of nights, after finding an advert which gave a special price of £35 per person dinner bed and breakfast per night. The two children were included free of charge, including their meals. The advert did state that the hotel was ungoing a £7million pound upgrade, and that some services may not be available. This did not deter us as we...

Review of Norbreck Castle Hotel, Blackpool

Gwen Stefani creates fragrances!

Advantages: amazingly sweet bottle, sensual floral scent, good value
Disadvantages: limited availability regarding shops

...Gwen Stefani creates fragrances! Harajuku Lovers Fragrance - "Love" Today I will review the wonderful perfume "Harajuku Lovers". There are five absolutely different versions of this scent - "Love", "Angel", "Music", "Baby" and "G". Background information The "Harajuku Lovers" line was introduced by Gwen Stefani and contains clothes, bags, shoes and perfumes. Gwen Stefani used to be in the band "No Doubt" and started a successful career on her own in the last few years. Her music, as she stated herself, has been highly influenced by her first time visiting Japan and what she saw there sparked her creativity. As she saw the happy young people in their totally unique, individual clothes in Harajuku, Tokyo, she decided that the fabulous things she saw had to be worked into music and into her products - and so she created the Harajuku...

Review of Harajuku Lovers Fragrance

hotel olsanka

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: Not so easy to access the town centre of prague.

...hotel olsanka prague Having been to prague recently and having stayed at this particular accomodation a few years ago, I was keen to give this place one final chance as I had had a really rubbish stay at this place. Similarly to my previous stay, I had notice that the Hotel seems to be advertised much cheaper on accomodation websites compared to near enough all other places to stay in prague. getting to the accomodation The details of getting to prague town centre are covered in my previous prague accomodation review, and whilst this accomodation is not as easy to get to location wise, a tram journey needed to get the accomodation from one of the central location's of prague town centre. booking process I booked this accomodation using a third party reservation booking website and paid around seventy euros...

The aroma of fragrance Direct

Advantages: Cheap perfumes, wide variety, great offers
Disadvantages: None

...I first came across Fragrance Direct when I was working for lastminute.com, they visited our office for the day and set up a stall promoting their service. Fragrance direct are a company dedicated to keeping fragrance costs low, therefore offering exceptional value for money and I really feel that they do offer this. A bit about Fragrance Direct Fragrance direct launched in 1993 with direct sales visiting large companies and workplaces to try and increase their customer data base, this was extremely successful as they went on to launch their first website in 1999 which led them to massive growth and have since been able to expand on their product ranges to include make-up and skincare products. A bit about some of the brands • Chloe • Cacherel • Ralph Lauren • Clinique • Clarins • Christian...
