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

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...

A wonderful taste of the Orient

Advantages: Wonderful tasty food with loads of choice something for everyone
Disadvantages: A little bit far for us to travel but worth it. Needs more parking spaces

...GOLDEN ORIENT BUFFET RESTAURANT Since losing my mother last October I made some New Year Resolutions, some have been easier to keep that others, but over all I am still on track, although weight loss is only small it is still helping to getting me better; but that?s another story, the resolution that led us to the Golden Orient was to try new foods and to spend more quality time with my family. So last night we went out for a meal and an evening with my daughter and her partner, hence killing two birds with one stone, and we had a lovely night out. ~~ Our Evening Out ~~ We travelled to my daughter?s house which is in a small village not far from Stafford where the Golden Orient is situated. We arrived at what I can only describe as a business park where there are 3 pubs, a hotel, car showroom and The Golden Orient...

Walkers Sensations Oriental Crackers

Advantages: Delicious!
Disadvantages: None!

...A tasty little number for your delectation this afternoon - Walkers very own Sensations Oriental Crackers...the Peking Spare Rib flavour. Yum! It comes in a purple packet with green 'trim', at 110g a bag - the 'share' bag if you will. Unfortunately they're yet to burst into the individual bag market, but if they did I'd be buying them in shares!! What differs them from the normal Sensations brand such as Thai Sweet Chilli is they are shaped like crackers rather than crisps...a posh Quaver than basically... Well, not entirely. Upon opening the packet, the crisps do look like miniature versions of the prawn crackers every Chinese takeaway loves to give away, but smaller and slightly coloured in flavourings. The feel of the crisp when biting down on it is somewhat firmer than a Quaver, so I'll remove the title of 'posh Quaver...

Orient Express but not on rails - Great Istanbul hotel

Advantages: Great location, very good customer service and food in restaurants good
Disadvantages: rooms a little dark and we had no view , could not flush toilet paper in the toilet

...The Orient Express Hotel , Hudavendigar Cad No: 34-34110 www.orientexpresshotel.com This hotel is part of the Sirkeci group which is a group of hotels and restaurants in Istanbul. Sirkeci is also an area of the old part of Istanbul and The Sirkeci Railway Station was the terminus of the famous Orient Express train and was just round the corner from the hotel. GETTING THERE: We arrived at the airport after a flight from Birmingham via Amsterdam and having read a number of reviews about the taxis from the airport and their enthusiasm for speed and reluctance to accept a fair fare or take four people in one taxi, we choose to book an airport transfer. We were met by a gentleman with our name on his notice and then escorted to a taxi outside. The journey was quite speedy but incident free, a couple of hairy moments, some very close...

A nice woody-oriental find from a niche perfumer

Advantages: Balanced blend, natural essences, not overpowering
Disadvantages: Availability, full price

...Launched: 2007 Group: Oriental woody INTRODUCTION I've discovered the Isabel Derroisne perfume house while looking for oriental coffee-themed fragrances to add to my collection following on reviews from fellow Fragrantica members.

Delighting guests every single day. Mandarin Oriental Singapore.

Advantages: Great location. Excellent service that isn't too Singaporean! New rooms with excellent features!
Disadvantages: You will pay for the pleasure!

...For those who have been keeping up with my Mandarin Oriental exploits then this is the third installment. Today I shall review one of Singapore?s finest five star hotels and let you into the world of Mandarin Oriental Singapore. I have stayed at a variety of hotels in Singapore but none have come as close to the perfect stay that you get at MO. I last stayed here in 2007 when the hotel was just branded as The Oriental, however Mandarin Oriental have since renamed the property under their full brand, just to make you aware in case you read reviews on either of the properties, they are in fact the same. Just look for the ?fan? logo of the company. I was staying in Singapore in between a trip from Malaysia to Australia and given my love for MO I knew this would be a good choice. Suffice to say I was not disappointed. Booking I booked...

Oriental Dining experience

Advantages: Easy parking
Disadvantages: A little way from the town centre

...I am a member of a local dining club and we like to try a range of restaurants. Last night the choice was the Oriental Restaurant on Chevallier Street, Ipswich which is a restaurant that we haven't visited before. The restaurant is located in what used to be a nightclub which has been completely transformed, its location is within a mile of the Town Centre and is easily accessible by car or by bus. There is a small car park at the rear of the restaurant but as they also do a 'take away' trade it does get well used and you may struggle to find a space. If you can't get into the car park then you may find it tricky to find a place in the surrounding streets as they are residential streets and Chevallier Street itself is a major 'through route' and parking is not allowed. I was fortunate on my visit and managed find a space as did...

Review of The Oriental Restaurant, Ipswich

Lord take me to Heaven. Take me to the Mandarin Oriental Prague.

Advantages: Luxury hotel. Brilliant food. Excellent service. Great location. Value for Money!
Disadvantages: Having to go home!

...I had visited Prague before, however this was for a lads holiday that only required us to get a bed for a night with all the drinking and high jinx that would be taking place, so when I returned with my partner I decided I required somewhere much more classy than a cheap apartment. This is where my love for Mandarin Oriental or ?MO? as it is fondly known by it?s guests comes into play. After reviewing trip advisor I discovered that there was a very good selection of five star properties within Prague and lone behold there on the list was ?Mandarin Oriental Prague?. You are probably wondering at this point what is so special about MO and why am I raving on so early in the review. Well please stick around and read on and you will hopefully begin to see why my love affair with Mandarin Oriental is as strong today as it has been for many...
