As I have agreed before I am going to evaluate these smells: Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Scent Spray Caudalie - Fleur de Vigne  Clinique Aromatics in Black  Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Sun The reason that I am so late with the evaluation is that I am very sensitive to the perfumes if I smell too many in one day, I might get nausea too easily... So that is why I am late... I apologise for not having kept the exact promise.  I will start with the Caudalie Acqua Fresca Fleur de Vigne : this one was 25 or 24 euros when I bought it last summer. And it is quite a small one, with 50 ml. I used it every day in the summer and also in the autumn. Finally, I finished really quickly. I also have to admit that some part of it got poured in my bag, but not too much, just a couple of uses were gone. This is the only smell that does not bother the people around me even if I use it in abundance. It is also the smell that never gives me a headache or never disturbs me later in the day, as

Perfumes: The journey of fragrances in youth

I have used perfumes since I was sixteen or so. My sister bought me my first perfume Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden... at the time, we did not know much about directors or brands. We just knew about actors and smells; we did not think about wearing brands but we thought about having a perfume. At least we had started to have the desire for things but names ... you know when you are 16 in a smaller town, that is not that important.

Or at least I thought so... then as we have got older, brands and names became bigger and they started to play a bigger part in our lives. Then there was Davidoff Cool Water , this was a great perfume. It was not heavy, light like the wind, pure like the water, not sticky, not sweet, fresh but with an undertone, it was

24th of December: Aromatics in Black

The 24th day of December ended with a little sample of Aromatics in Black , a perfume by Clinique. It is sweet but not so sweet, it is pungent but not so much, it is sexy and evening like, but you can also use it during the daylight. I really enjoyed the smell: it says that it contains myrrh, fruit and exotic notes. There is also a hint of cinnamon in it. I give ten over ten to this perfume, also for not giving me a headache. Moreover, it was a very nice smell to have for Christmas evening. Merry Christmas to everyone, although it is past now, I want to say it here once more! Hope that we will have a good year where we return the resources we used responsibly back to nature. Okay, so in short, I suggest this perfume to ones who prefer a good balance between sweet, fresh and mysterious.
